A Different Way to Get Together

When everyone’s schedules get busy, opportunities to get together with friends become even more special. There’s no need to choose between the joy of being together and the pleasure of slowing down. At Bota Bota, treat yourself to these moments of togetherness in a calm and rejuvenating environment.​

​On Thursdays, reconnect and chat quietly throughout all our spaces. Alternatively, the Gardens and the Pavillon offer a warm atmosphere at all times, where quiet conversations naturally find their place without disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.

​Together, let yourselves be carried away by an Aufguss session, a guided ritual where heat, essential oils, and music awaken the senses and transform each session into a shared memory. ​

​Between two water circuits, stop by La Traversée to enjoy cocktails, mocktails, and platters to share, before gently returning to your experience.​

The water circuit

Step 1 : Heat

[10 to 20 minutes] The thermal experience starts off in the heat. Contrary to popular beliefs, the water circuit does not start in the hot baths, but rather in the dry sauna or the steam bath. With it’s analgesic properties, the dry sauna helps muscles relax all while relieving muscular pains. This first step will not only benefit your body but also your mind. The worries of everyday life will evaporate little by little, as small droplets escape from your pores.

Step 2 : Cold

[15 to 60 seconds] The second stage of the thermal experience consists of a short dip in the cold bath. If it is too cold for your liking, the showers are also an excellent way to get through this step. For those of you who dread the cold: this stop is the shortest on the list but also the most beneficial to the body. It is a step not to be missed: it accelerates the heartbeat and tightens the pores of the skin. Combined with heat, cold helps stimulate the senses, boost white blood cell production, and relieve muscle soreness while increasing the release of well-deserved endorphins.

Step 3 : Relaxation

[20 minutes] The third stage of the water circuit takes place in the relaxation areas. Try them all or pick your favorite from the sun loungers, beanbags or hammocks. After the hot and cold, let yourself be enveloped by that “buzz” of well-being, that feeling of relaxation that gently spreads throughout your body.
Quoi apporter lors de votre visite au spa

What do I need on board?

Be sure to bring everything you need for a relaxing stay: a swimsuit, sandals, and a shatterproof water bottle. We provide the bathrobe, towels, and a locker with a key. If you’ve forgotten anything, all your essentials are available for purchase at the Bota Bota boutique.

Between silence and conviviality

At Bota Bota, wellness is experienced at your own pace. In the Gardens and the Pavilion, low-volume, respectful conversations are permitted at all times. The Boat, on the other hand, offers a silent environment. Cell phones and photography are prohibited on board. On Reconnexion Thursdays, the experience takes on a more social dimension. Exceptionally, low-volume conversations are permitted everywhere, including on the Boat, and cell phone use is allowed.
