the spa
The stylish spa at The Tides Riviera Maya is a real treat for the
senses. A wide range of tropical and therapeutic
treatments are available, including facials, wraps and
massages. A typical one hour facial includes a neck and
back massage, marine algae back treatment and hand
massage as well as the facial itself.
Traditional Mayan herbs and fresh local ingredients are used in many of the treatments, but the equipment is modern and highly professional.
The spa building includes separate male and female areas
featuring twin hot tubs and a special couples massage
room. In addition to specialist treatments, a
hairdressing service as well as manicures, pedicures and
waxing is also available.
The Tides Riviera Maya also boasts a Mayan Temazcalli (steam bath) located next to the ocean. The traditional event held here is a group experience and symbolic rite, celebrating the four elements of water, soil, air and fire.
A minimum of 4 people are required for the Temazcalli and advance reservations are required.
