A well-being break for the family by the lake

Nestled in Port-Noir, in the municipality of Cologny, the Bain-Bleu Hammam & Spa is a large relaxation space facing Lake Geneva. It is usually frequented by adults, but the establishment reserves family slots designed for children to enjoy as well, accompanied by a parent. It's an opportunity for a sweet and warm moment, sheltered from the cold as well as the heatwave.

What your children will discover

Your children will discover hot water pools, water games, and bubbles, with an unobstructed view of the lake and the mountains. Depending on the areas open to families, one can move from one bath to another, splash around, and relax. The water, light, and tranquility of the place are enough to amaze the youngest, who experience a sensory adventure different from a traditional swimming pool.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is subdued, elegant, and relaxing. One moves from bath to bath, enjoys the terrace and the view, and takes their time. It's an outing that breaks the usual rhythm: here, we slow down, we relax together. The family slots are intentionally structured in terms of timing and age to maintain this serene atmosphere while welcoming children in good conditions.
