Spa

In the Mayan Riviera the exclusive resorts provide the ultimate holistic experience with massage services and specialized treatments to help alleviate stress. Most of the area’s spas offer outdoor therapies, detoxifying herbal remedies and several types of mud treatments based on ancient Mayan traditions. Another great option is a temazcal steam bath, an unforgettable sauna with red-hot volcanic rocks in the middle of an adobe structure. The rocks are periodically sprayed with a mixture of medicinal infusions. The herbal steam bath experience is seen as a re-encounter with Mother Earth.
