Wellness Circuit at the Siente Boí Spa

The spa of the Aparthotel Siente Boí, at the Pla de l'Ermita, halfway between Taüll and the pistes, is open to non-guests. It is the plan for when the fog comes down or for the afternoon after skiing: heated pool, thermal area and a 90-minute circuit booked by the hour.

What it has

The wellness circuit centres on a heated pool at 30–32 °C with jets for feet, legs and lower back, a relaxation bench with three hydromassage beds and a swan-neck waterfall. Around it there are a footbath, showers and loungers. The thermal area adds a Turkish bath, a Finnish sauna and a Swedish cold-water bucket for contrast. The changing rooms, separate for women and men, have showers, soap and individual lockers; admission includes a towel and locker key.

Apart from the circuit, the spa has a private hydromassage room with bubble bath and a menu of massages and treatments: full massage, lymphatic drainage, foot reflexology, localised massage and children's massage; massages from around the world such as geothermal with volcanic stones, Ayurvedic, tuina or Thai, and treatments such as facial cleansing, body exfoliation and chocolate or seaweed wraps. The website does not publish their prices: ask when you book.

Hours and price

Monday to Thursday from 16:00 to 21:00; Friday to Sunday from 11:00 to 21:00. Children, from age 3 and until 18:00; under-3s cannot enter. The 90-minute circuit costs €20 for adults and €12 for children aged 3 to 12.

Book beforehand: it is essential. This is done through the resort's booking system, on 973 949 948 or at [email protected]; for groups, at [email protected].

What to bring

Swimwear, flip-flops and a swimming cap are compulsory. If you are missing the cap or flip-flops, they sell them at reception for €2 each. Pregnant women should consult their doctor first.

How to fit it in

With children, the best slot is the first hour of the afternoon on weekdays or the weekend morning, before 18:00. If you ski at the Boí Taüll resort, the Pla de l'Ermita is on the way down. If you are looking for natural thermal waters, the Caldes de Boí thermal circuit is the other option in the valley.
