Renewal, Relaxation, Well-being: The Spas of Mayakoba

The blue Caribbean Sea, the breeze that insinuates itself through palm trees, the pure white beach ? Mayakoba?s natural setting breathes rejuvenation and serenity. The spas of Mayakoba bring those sought-after qualities even closer, with an unparalleled menu of choice. With six different spas to choose from, each based in a hotel that takes its guests? well-being seriously, guests will actually be able to spa-hop ? sampling a Mayan-inspired Tropical Rain Massage one day at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts? Willow Stream Spa, moving on to Banyan Tree?s award-winning and pampering Asian-inspired treatments the next day, followed by revitalizing body wraps or botanical baths at Viceroy Mayakoba, indigenous herbal wraps and facials at La Casa Que Canta, or Tai Chi overlooking the cenote at Laguna Kai, A Rosewood Resort. At Mayakoba, the world of renewal is yours.

Many of the 20 treatment rooms at Fairmont?s Willow Stream spa, including two treetop suites, have private balconies overlooking the forest. That connection with nature extends throughout Willow Stream, from the native outdoor gardens that embrace the men?s and women?s locker areas to the sea-mineral soaking pool, where necks and shoulders are soothed by gentle mini-waterfalls, and the streamlined fitness studio that offers lush views of the mangrove alongside top-notch equipment. Willow Stream spa experiences - inspired by the local culture and personalized to the lifestyles of each guest - are developed with Willow Stream?s ?find your energy? philosophy in mind. A sampling of treatment options includes a comprehensive golf program, a Mexican Stone massage, algae baths and a Marine Energy Facial.

At Laguna Kai, A Rosewood Resort, the spa?s healing power begins with its unique location ? on its own island, centered on a cenote, an evocative underground cavern. It features 15 treatment suites, platforms for yoga and Tai Chi, unique water-based reflexology paths, lounging pools for hydrotherapies, sundecks and lounging areas with memorable views of cenote and lagoons.

The intimate outdoor spa pavilions at Banyan Tree Spa reflects the Riviera Maya, but its world-renowned massages and other treatments are inspired by ancient Asian traditions. By applying Asia?s age-old beauty secrets that have been passed down from generation to generation, and using natural ingredients that have been around for centuries, Banyan Tree Spa combines total well-being with eco-consciousness. Banyan Tree?s approach to physical and spiritual health is both holistic and sensual, based on ?high-touch low-tech? concept that celebrates the human touch and makes use of aromatic oils and freshly prepared indigenous ingredients. All the therapists at Banyan Tree Spa are specially handpicked and have undergone over 400 hours of training at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy based in Phuket, Thailand.

Viceroy and La Casa Que Canta are still finalizing the plans for their spas. Expectations are high, since both hotels have earned reputations for distinctive, imaginative service that echoes the local character. The Estrella Spa at Viceroy Palm Springs features desert minerals, herbs and citrus fruits grown in Viceroy?s own courtyards in its treatments; the full-service destination spa at Viceroy Mayakoba will follow suit with signature techniques and treatments incorporating indigenous elements drawn from the Riviera Maya?s natural cornucopia. Famed for its exquisite use of Mexican arts and cuisine, La Casa Que Canta will concentrate on healing treatments and products inspired by the indigenous peoples of the region.
