The Evian is well known among stressed, wealthy locals looking to unwind from the soul-sapping daily life of Buenos Aires. It’s more commercial and less technical than the Aqua Vita spa, which seems to make it more attractive to men. This spa has a long list of massages, so if it’s a rub down and a Finnish bath you are after, the Evian Agua Club Spa is the one for you.
