Taking time for yourself

You’re about to treat yourself to a precious moment—a moment to pause, reflect, and breathe. It’s time to check in with yourself. With your body, your mind, and your entire being.​

For a meditative and deeply relaxing experience, let yourself be guided by the water circuit aboard the Boat. Begin with the enveloping heat of the sauna, follow with a cold plunge, then allow yourself some time to rest and gather all the benefits.​

For a more social and immersive experience, head to the Pavillon Sauna for an Aufguss session. Your senses will be delighted, your thoughts will lighten, and your body will thank you. ​

Enhance your wellness retreat with a massage or treatment, for an experience entirely dedicated to finding your balance.​

Time resumes its course, but the calm remains. Taking time for yourself has never been so rewarding.​

Enjoy thermotherapy

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.

Silence is golden

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.
