Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort

Carr. Transpeninsular Km. 19.5, Tourist Corridor, Cabo Real, 23400 San José del Cabo, B.C.S., Mexico

Las Ventanas al Paraíso is a celebrity-loved oasis that is unlike any other, featuring several pools, premium restaurants and, of course, an immersive spa. From an elemental journey that connects you to earth, air, fire and water, to holistic body rituals inspired by nature, you’ll find yourself wanting to book more than one treatment during your stay. However, even if you don’t make time for a massage, all guests are able to use the spa facilities at their leisure. Embark on a cold plunge before taking a dip in the outdoor hot tub, or sweat out last night’s tequila and mezcal tasting in the sauna. 

Viceroy Los Cabos

P.º Malecon San Jose Lote 8, Zona Hotelera, 23405 San José del Cabo, B.C.S., México

Viceroy Los Cabos is another celebrity favorite hotel. This serene resort features ocean views from virtually every angle. The Spa at Viceroy Los Cabos boasts 11,000 square feet of space, allowing guests to explore everything from restorative body treatments, to osteopathic therapy sessions, to sound healings. Viceroy Los Cabos also offers a range of unique wellness packages such as the Strength of Mind package, which includes a private meditation session, guided sound healings and a uniquely designed culinary menu that is intended to improve focus and mental clarity. 

Nizuc Resort & Spa

Blvd. Kukulcan, Punta Nizuc – Cancún 03-Km 21.26, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico

The white sand beaches are met with crystal clear water, providing the perfect setting for a wellness escape in Mexico. Best of all, Nizuc Resort & Spa is home to the first Espa-branded spa in the entire Mexican Caribbean, ensuring that guests receive the most attentive service available. The Mindful treatments kick off with breathing and visualization exercises in order to get you in the proper mindset before laying down for a facial or massage. Therapeutic treatments like the Sarani Luna Shanti offer a more in-depth experience with a foot bathing ceremony, hand massages and meditation. 

Rosewood Mayakoba 

Ctra. Federal Cancún-Playa del Carmen Km 298, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Tucked away behind lush greenery, guests will find the signature Rosewood Sense Spa. Inspired by Mayan philosophy, the Kuxtal Garden allows you to find harmony with nature before melting into bliss on your treatment table. The Lost Remedies program gives spa-goers the chance to experience traditional Mayan herbal remedies and purification rituals. Of course, a classic aromatherapy massage always manages to entice the mind, body and spirit.
