Each of us is looking for something different on vacation. Someone like active rest near the water, and someone like to explore historical sights. However, it’s hard to find a person who doesn’t like relaxing in a massage or aromatherapy session. Not to mention that it is important enough to properly prepare the skin for the place of the tropical sun. To do this, it is necessary to carry out procedures and cleaning from time to time, for example, using special scrubs. Of course, such procedures must be trusted by professionals. This is where spas come in.

Oh, this unique atmosphere of calm and tranquility: subdued light, calm music, and the aroma of incense and oils. Here you immediately want to relax and detach from the surrounding hustle and bustle. You can rest assured that you have come to the right place.

Where would you like to start: a facial massage with fragrant oil, or a chocolate wrap? Perhaps a couples massage overlooking the ocean or a Roman sauna?

Royal Sands Resort and Spa

This complex positions itself in the exotic category of 4.5 stars, but offers all-inclusive meals and unusual options in its spa, for example, a traditional Mexican wellness treatment called «temazcal» which is a Mexican Indian’s steam bath that served as an element of religious rites.

The Indians in temazcal cleansed both the body and the soul. In modern Mexico, temazcal is created for the entertainment of tourists, they are commercialized and are not at all authentic. Many hotels have their own steam temazcal, calling them temazcal-spa. But, for tourists, the show is important. Temazcal is not a spell. Temazcal is a ceremony, a mysterious ritual. Therefore, the ceremony itself, which the shaman performs, will be very beautiful and impressive.

Before the start of the ceremony, which usually takes place in the evening, the participants perform the procedure of cleaning with smoke and resin from the tree kοpal. Often, a small circle of stones is laid next to the temazcal. Some objects associated with ancestors are placed there to create a spiritual connection. In the center of the temazcal, stones are brought, and heated on a fire, although the Indians heated them right in the temazcal. Temazcal warms up, people sit along the walls, and the shaman begins his ritual. Stones sway with infusions of herbs, and healing steam fills the room. Sometimes, herbs are burned right inside the room. By chanting, reading prayers, and physical impact on the body (massage), the shaman makes the guests relax, come into the peace of mind and feel connected to the outside world. Emphasizing the connection between the body, spirit, and nature, the shaman, as it were, stimulates spiritual rebirth.

Aromatherapy plays an important role and has a healing effect. Various aromatic herbs (basil, rosemary, different flowers) and resins are used. Each plant has its own symbolic meaning. The effect is strengthened by offering herbal tea. Thus, temazcal is also a therapeutic procedure. A traditional temazcal can last quite a long time. But not everyone tolerates high temperatures (about 120 degrees) and humidity well, so for tourists, the steam cleansing ceremony usually takes about 15 minutes or half an hour.

After the ceremony, it is recommended to wrap yourself in a sheet and lie down for a while, for example, on stones or in a hammock. If the temazcal is located near the cenote, immersion in its cool waters can also have a certain therapeutic effect.

We do not promise that everything in this hotel will be to a high degree, as above, and I am not sure that there will be a shaman, however, in the far reaches of the procedure, it will be as close as possible to unusual rituals.

If you don’t gravitate too much towards Indian mysticism, the hotel offers a wider form of relaxation: beach yoga, beauty salon, and spa treatments with a variety of sports and wellness massages, body wraps, etc.

Individual SPA centers:

If the presence of a SPA center is not important for you, but you are not recovering, you are overexcited from a lot of vivid impressions, and you need to relax a little, it is recommended to consider the complexes located in the resort inspection of Cancun.

Reminder!

It would be useful to recall that there are SPA centers in Cancun that only look like much, although in reality, the services of a mobile massage therapist are close to intimacy. As a rule, there are places where advertising media is used, for example, users with calling forms are found. So, if you pay to such a salon, do not be surprised that in addition to massage, you will also be offered erotic services.

Holistic SPA Cancun

Probably the cheapest option on our list. However, interest, at least, is due to pricing and location. This nondescript spa is conveniently located in the Hotel Zone and boasts a fairly convincing rating on Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp.

There is also a beauty salon where you can get make-up, manicures, and pedicures.
