The flotation baths at this day spa are definitely its defining characteristic, setting it apart from just about every other spa in town.

What could make a hot bath and a massage even better? How about experiencing it all on a boat, docked in the Old Port, with a gorgeous view of the city, to boot? This spa is all about serenity and relaxation. The water circuit alone is enough to help you release some of the stress and negative energy weighing you down.
