Are you in the mood for a massage?

Start your vacation with a massage to ease aching muscles and eradicate all that tension that has been taking its toll. Choose your favorite relaxing massage or try a different one. The Alea collection includes sports, deep tissue and reflexology massages or you can tap into the ancient healing knowledge of First Nations tribes with a Hot Stone massage, try Lomi-Lomi, a rhythmic Hawaiian technique of strokes and stretching that mimics the pull of the ocean waves, or the Samunprai massage with its warm aromatic herbal poultices.

Pencil an aromatherapy massage into your vacation schedule, it is a deliciously fragrant way to enjoy a morning and will improve your general health, help you sleep and impart a deep feeling of wellbeing. The purest oils and essences extracted from plants, herbs, flowers and trees are used and each essential oil blend has different healing properties.

The perfect morning in paradise begins with a massage on the ocean view terrace gazing out at sparkling turquoise waters, it is the key to balance and relaxation.

The Moon and Stars Massage is a magical start to a Mexican Caribbean evening. The sound of the waves and views of the sea, the moon and stars lull you into a state of complete relaxation for a blissful moment of harmony on the terrace.

Unlock the benefits of massage therapy

One of the most important benefits of massage therapy is its ability to reduce stress levels. It helps to lower levels of cortisol (the primary stress hormone) in the body while simultaneously increasing the production of endorphins, which are natural mood regulators. This can leave you feeling relaxed, calm, and mentally refreshed.

Massage techniques, such as Swedish massage or aromatherapy massage, are designed to induce a state of deep relaxation. The gentle pressure and soothing strokes help to release muscle tension, ease anxiety, and calm the mind.

Massages also boost blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs while aiding the removal of metabolic waste products and toxins. Improved circulation invigorates the body.

Our skilled massage therapists can target specific areas of tension and work on tight muscles to reduce pain, release knots and improve flexibility.

By improving lymphatic circulation, massage therapy can help strengthen the body’s immune system, and its defenses against illness and infections.

After a massage that takes you to the height of relaxation and eases your muscles, it’s no surprise that your sleep quality may improve giving you a good’s night’s rest, so that you wake up to a new day in the Mexican Caribbean feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Massage therapy also strengthens the connection between mind and body, making you aware of the effects that tension has on you and helping you to handle stress and look after yourself.

The secret of soft, radiant skin

A moisturizing facial full of the goodness of pure herbal and fruit extracts will nurture dry, tired skin and boost your defenses with powerful antioxidants and vitamins. The Alea collection includes facials suitable for every skin type, age group and for hypersensitive or very dry skin.

Facials cleanse, exfoliate and nourish the skin, rejuvenating it, easing wrinkles and giving you a clear complexion.

Oily skin may benefit from a deep cleansing facial to eradicate impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores that cause spots.

Moisturizing facials with hydration masks or serums are the perfect tonic for dry, tired, skin, as they replenish moisture and antioxidants. Your skin will feel softer, plumper and revitalized.

Pure and natural

Choose a body wrap to eliminate toxins, exfoliate or moisturize your skin, deliver a much-needed tonic of minerals, nutrients and vitamins, stimulate your metabolism and boost energy.

Some body wraps are favorites for their fragrance. Packed with vitamins, fruit, plant, aloe vera, corn and wheat extracts, they boost the immune system, supply antioxidants and moisturize the skin. Others can combat cellulite or provide instant sun relief for sore, red skin.

Hydrotherapy to start your Spa day

Start your spa experience with the hydrotherapy circuit. Time in the steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room and the jacuzzi helps cleanse the body, relaxes muscles and improves energy levels.

Cutting-edge treatments and timeless natural healing

The Alea treatment collection includes facials and body wraps by Circadia and Babor, two of the world’s leading spa cosmetic companies, and exclusive Mexican experiences that harness the healing power of medicinal plants.
