Mayan Mystery at Riviera Maya Spas
One of the largest spas on the Riviera Maya coastline south of Cancun, El Spa at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso is anchored by a huge, glass-roofed, indoor saltwater swimming pool. It's couples only in the Turkish and Roman baths, the "bubble beds" and therapy pools. From the chocolate wrap to the marine exfoliation, mud masks and milk baths, pure bliss is on the spa menu. The luxury 5-star golf resort is all-inclusive, couples only.
The rooftop at the 37,000 square foot Willow Stream branded spa at the Fairmont Mayakoba on Riviera Maya is a place to spend an afternoon or a moonlit evening on the rooftop—in the saltwater lap pool, the Jacuzzis and on the lounge chairs. Among dozens of traditional and exotic treatment choices are the Cha Chac Rain Ritual in the room of Chac, the Mayan rain god. A healing body mask of cornmeal, clay and oats is applied, followed by exfoliation, burning of copal incense, a warm rainwater rinse and a massage with sage oil.
