Spa Siente Boí

The Spa Siente Boí is in the Aparthotel Siente Boí & Spa, in the Pla de l'Ermita, the development between Taüll and the Boí Taüll slopes, at about 1,600 metres above sea level and with views of the Catalan Pyrenees. It is part of Boí Taüll Resort, which also books the Hotel Romànic, the Hotel Taüll and the La Solana apartments; the company Viajesparati S.L.U. appears in the footer of its website. The resort presents it as the only wellness centre in the valley. It covers 1,200 m² and is also open to people who are not staying at the aparthotel.

The circuit and the rooms

The wellness circuit lasts 90 minutes. It has a multifunction pool heated to 30-32 ºC with jets for feet, legs and lower back, a bench with three hydromassage beds, a swan-neck waterfall, a foot bath, showers and loungers, and a thermal area with a eucalyptus-scented Turkish bath, a Finnish sauna and a cold-water bucket for contrast. It costs €20 for adults and €12 for children aged 3 to 12. Entry includes a towel and a locker key; the changing rooms, for women and men, have showers, soap and individual lockers.

There is also a private room with a hydromassage bath and essential oils, for 45 minutes, for one person or a couple, with a glass of cava per person, for €24.

Massages and treatments

The menu includes relaxing massages, sports massages, therapeutic massages, lymphatic drainage and foot reflexology, of 25 or 50 minutes, from €45, and a 20-minute children's massage for ages 3 to 12 for €30. The so-called experiences, such as the Pyrenees Experience with volcanic stones and mountain plant oils, and the world massages, such as Ayurveda, tui na, geothermal with hot stones, aromatic pindas or acupuncture, last 50 minutes, include 50 minutes of the circuit and cost €75. There are also facials, body peels and chocolate or seaweed wraps. After a day's skiing or in the mountains, the sports massage is the one the menu itself recommends for muscle overload.

The resort website is in Spanish, Catalan, English and French; it does not publish spa cancellation terms, so it is best to ask when you book.
