From September 18th to 26th, Donostia once again becomes the capital of cinema. Nine days of premieres, queues at the Kursaal, coffee at odd hours, and that blend of euphoria and exhaustion understood only by those who have sat through three consecutive screenings.
Located near the Kursaal Congress Centre and the Victoria Eugenia Theatre —and boasting views of La Concha Bay through its expansive windows— La Perla offers the one thing your schedule is missing: a pause. For this 74th edition of the Zinemaldia, we have curated two distinct experiences designed for different times of day: one focused on beauty and the other on thalassotherapy.
A great ending to a great movie: 20% off the Thalasso Circuit
A great movie can make you think, move you, or make you laugh. But afterwards, your body craves just one thing: to simply unwind.
Throughout the festival, you can visit La Perla after the screening. Just show your 74th SSIFF ticket to enjoy a 20% discount on our Thalasso Circuit.
The circuit is a thalassotherapy treatment using seawater at various temperatures, drawn directly from the bay. It features a hydrotherapy pool with jets and waterfalls, a relaxation pool with air-and-water bubble seats and loungers and a standard jacuzzi, a panoramic jacuzzi, a marine steam bath, saunas, and a relaxation area facing the bay. Seawater is rich in magnesium, potassium, and trace elements, thus helping to relieve muscle tension and boost circulation —exactly what your legs need after spending half the day in a cinema seat and the other half waiting in line.
Conditions: Show your film festival ticket. Valid only during the 74th SSIFF, from September 18th to 26th.


Collagen (R)evolution: the limited-edition firming ritual
Whether you are preparing for a gala or simply wish to treat yourself to something exceptional, we have created an exclusive ritual for the festival in collaboration with Natura Bissé: Collagen (R)evolution. It is a beauty and wellness experience that leaves the skin visibly revitalized, firm, luminous, and plump.
It includes
- Kobido-Ayurvedic lifting massage, designed to redefine facial contours by combining Japanese manual techniques with traditional ayurvedic movements.
- Pro-Exo Protein System™, a biotechnological complex with pro-exosome action that boosts cellular communication within the skin.
- A 12% collagen concentrate, to leave your skin looking firmer, more luminous, and plump.
A new setting: the Pure Air Bubble
The treatment takes place inside the Pure Air Bubble —Natura Bissé’s exclusive mobile spa. The air inside is 99.995% pure, free from polluting particles as well as viral, allergenic, and bacteriological agents. It is the ideal environment to enhance the treatment’s benefits and enjoy an even more exclusive beauty experience.
Limited edition: available only during the festival. Places are limited, so it is advisable to book in advance.

How to combine cinema, the beauty treatment, and thalassotherapy in a single day
Here is a simple way to plan your day if you’re coming the Zinemaldia:
