Sanctuary for the Senses in Mexico

a Luxury Spa experience in Mayakoba

It might be located in Mexico’s tony area of Mayakoba, but in this case its Asian fusion all the way at the Banyan Tree Spa Mayakoba where Asian-inspired spa treatments are delivered in intimate outdoor spa pavilions. A sanctuary for the mind, body and soul, the award winning spa brings together a blend of unique Asian therapies such as massages and body treatments, distinctly inspired by the traditional Asian healing disciplines that are now being introduced into the West for the first time.

The spa’s main attraction is the exclusive Rainforest Hydrotherapy Center offering a number of wellness treats designed to revitalize the senses. For example, there is the Rainforest in Mayakoba, hauled as adding a new dimension to holistic rejuvenation consisting of both hot and cold thermal cabins designed for one person or a couple. Another Rainforest option, walk through The Rainforest Trail with eight different hydrothermal therapy experiences to choose from including Rain Walk, Aroma Steam Chamber, Finnish Sauna, Rasul, Brine Cavern, Ice Fountain, Experience Showers and Vitality Pool.

Other signature treatments include the Royal Banyan Herbal Pouch Massage. Using East-meets-West techniques an herbal pouch dipped in warm Sesame Oil relieves muscle tension and helps with poor blood circulation.

The Master Therapist Experience is perfect for the spa junkie who has done it all. A 90-minute treatment, the experience is said to help restore lost energy while also rejuvenating the mind.

Trained at the Banyan Tree Spa Academies in Bintan in Indonesia, Phuket in Thailand and Lijiang in China, Mayakoba’s spa therapists offer the highest level of experience and knowledge to make your treatment time extraordinary.
