We are happy to welcome you. Just one thing is non-negotiable.
Bota Bota is a spa of silence: that is why people come, and it is what they are buying when they book. A group of seven, however well-intentioned, is heard more than seven people who arrive separately. Voices carry over the water, and the boat is small.
So we are not asking you to go unnoticed. We are asking you to let us know you are coming: an expected group is a group that is welcome at the right time and in the right place, with our team prepared.
Three promises we ask of every group
They are not here to complicate your day. Read them now; it is better than a reminder upon arrival.
-
Silence, everywhere on board
Silence is absolute throughout the boat. The Bateau is a silent space. Only low-voiced conversations are permitted in the Jardins area, outside or on the Pavillon.
-
Screens stay in the locker room
Cellphones, cameras and tablets are not allowed on board. No group photos, no calls, no music.
-
We arrive and leave together
Everyone is 18 or older and books the same package, with the same arrival and departure time. On Saturdays, the booking must include the water circuit.
If the rules are not followed
We reserve the right to ask the group to leave the premises, in which case no refund will be given. It is a last resort, but we do enforce it: other guests booked the same day, and silence is precisely what they paid for.
Two very different visits. Choose yours.
Most group disappointments come from a misunderstanding at the time of booking, not from a rule. Here are the two ways to visit together: one is silent, the other is not.
Your group is coming for the calm
Seven days a week
This is the classic visit, and it’s the one you can book on this page.
- Complete silence on board, low voices voices in the Jardins and Pavillon
- Devices left in the locker room
- One group per 40-minute time slot
Your group wants to talk and take photos
On Thursdays
Then come on a Thursday. During Reconnexion Thursdays, cell phones are allowed and you can talk, in a low voice, anywhere on board. Same water, different atmosphere, no frustration on arrival.
- Cell phones and cameras allowed
- Conversation allowed everywhere, in low voices
What to know before you fill out the form
- A group is
Seven people or more. Below that, book online as usual, each on your own. For more than nineteen, write to us directly.
- Only one group at a time
We accept only one group booking per 40 minutes. This means availability may show up online even when the slot is already taken by another group.
- Saturdays
Any group booking made for a Saturday must include the water circuit.
- Payment
A credit card is kept on file and charged on the day of your visit. Bills cannot be split on site.
- At the restaurant and bar
Keep your paper receipts during your visit: we will not be able to provide them afterwards.
- Our dates
The calendar opens about a month in advance. If your date is further out, please wait before writing to us: we will not be able to hold it.
- Massages and treatments
The schedule for massage therapists and estheticians opens 4 weeks in advance. If your booking includes any, please make your request within that window.
- Prices
We do not offer group rates. Prices follow the high and low season calendar. See the rates.
