5 water themed books to go with your spa day

A day at Bota Bota is a day to treat yourself. It’s a great opportunity to recharge your batteries, to put stress aside and to be lulled by the waves of the St. Lawrence. There is nothing quite like a massage followed by a dip in the water circuit to forget your everyday life worries. You will surely agree with our regulars who often confide that what makes them switch off the most is that Bota Bota is surrounded by water. Whether you decide to rest near the baths after a swim or to lounge on an armchair overlooking the river, water is always an all-encompassing part of the Bota Bota experience.

With this in mind, we decided to put together a selection of good reads related to water. Enjoy your relaxation and happy reading!
