  Définition

  A sea resort where sea water treatment in its various forms is provided.

  Notes :

  We should note the various number of synonyms using "spa". The term, in itself, can also refer to a seaside resort.
  
  However, it is more commonly used to refer to a watering place where there is mineral spring water and, more recently, in North America, to refer to health resorts. "Spa" has been adopted by the American for the glossiest of health resorts,which bear little of a continental spa's medical connotations, though one is worked out hard in most American spas ((...)).
  
  To indicate the specificity of a spa using sea water, new words have been coined.
