Bota Bota, spa-sur-l'eau
This is the recovery experience that makes recovery a destination. Bota Bota is a spa built inside a former ferry moored in the Old Port, with a Nordic-style hot-cold thermal circuit — saunas, steam, hot tubs, a cold plunge, and an outdoor garden pool — plus expert massage, all with sunset views over the river. After a hard training block, the contrast circuit genuinely helps. Book massage ahead (no walk-ins for treatments), bring a swimsuit, and phones go in the locker.
