Anchored on the St. Lawrence River, Bota Bota is what happens when an old ferryboat swaps passengers for pure indulgence. This floating spa in the Old Port blends maritime charm with minimalist design across five decks packed with everything you’d expect from a top-tier wellness spot. Think eucalyptus steam baths, saunas, hot whirlpools with skyline views, and cold plunges that’ll shock your system awake. The hydrotherapy circuit is the star here—hot, cold, relax—offering a rhythm that’s as rejuvenating as the riverside breeze. For a quieter escape, lounge in hammocks, hit the floating sauna, or explore the lush garden tethered to the boat. Don’t skip the onboard restaurant, where local ingredients elevate the spa-day snack game.
