Water in Marina d'Or

You couldn′t dream of anything better

Going into Marina d′Or′s Spa is like swimming in the Mediterranean sea, but at an all year round temperature ranging between 30º and 36º. This is achieved by constantly renewing the water captured 500 metres out to sea using an underwater pipe, with the water that covers an area of 2,500 m2 in both the indoor and outdoor areas being renewed totally every 2 hours. Although the captured water is not treated with chemicals, so conserving all the therapeutic and beneficial properties for health associated with sea water, all the bacteria in the water is eliminated using a disinfection system comprising ultraviolet tubes and conventional filters.

Marina d′Or′s scientific seawater spa takes advantage of all the therapeutic properties and the beneficial components of sea water to care for our bodies, both physically, treating vascular, heart and skin conditions and in the treatment of pain etc. and psychologically: treating stress, tiredness and cognitive disorders, principally in the areas of memory and attention, while not forgetting the importance of physical appearance as a factor in good health.

Marina d′Or is an perfect example of sustainable energy use.

Marina d′Or has a Combined Cooling Heat and Power plant (CCHP) which produces all the electric power and thermal energy required by the Hotels, the Spa and the Medical Centre. The plant has a capacity of 3,500 KW of electric power and 6,000 KW of thermal power, covering all the energy needs of our hotels and Spa. The plant produces all the energy required for hot water use and heating and, by incorporating absorption chillers into the process, also produces all the cooling required for air-conditioning our installations (Trigeneration).The plant also supplies the energy required to heat the 800 cubic metres of water sent every hour to the Spa. Thanks to the experience, technical preparation and regular quality controls, our plant has a proven efficiency rate of 80 %, which is one of the highest in Spain. We produce more than 26,500,000 KWh of electricity per year and more than 34,000,000 KWh of thermal energy per year.

Desalination by reverse osmosis

Marina d′Or′s reverse osmosis plant arises from Marina d′Or′s constant desire to ensure water quality and protect underground water resources. The installation uses state of the art membranes and supplies all the drinking water needs of the hotel installations in Marina d′Or′s holiday resort - five hotels, the spa and the medical centre, as well as other ancillary installations. Sea water captured using an underwater pipe is transported to our osmosis plant, where it is filtered, passed through the membranes and receives the usual additives to make it drinkable. The 2,000 cubic meters of water produced per day is in perfect conditions for human consumption, and is distributed through water pipes to the point of use.
