Bota Bota, Spa-sur-l’eau

Step out of the ordinary with this next Nordic spa. It’s actually a former ferry that is now moored at one of Old Ports Quay that has been transformed into an incredible spa. It promotes the healing benefits of the spa along with being lulled by the natural movement of the beautiful St-Lawrence River. It is hard to beat the views over the city of Montreal whether you are outside or enjoying them through one of 678 rounded boat windows. The five decks all house the various spa installations including two saunas, a eucalyptus steam bath, outdoor hot whirlpool baths and of course cold showers and baths to complete the cycle. Along with these are a restaurant, plenty of relaxation areas, gardens and terraces. A variety of treatment options exist at the full spa including massages, manicures, pedicures, yoga and Pilates. A must visit when you are in the Montreal area to experience a spa onboard a beautifully restored ferry.
