Spas are sprouting up all over Mexico like beans in a field The cost of a week-long spa package at a Mexican beachfront resort is one-third to one-fourth the price of the same program in the U.S. Those at inland spas are even less.
Mexican spas run the gamut from traditional mineral spring spas to destination spas that are self-contained to European-style spas with facilities for men and women that are part of a large resort. Since the European-style spa is relatively new in Mexico, most offer new facilities and young energetic staffs.
“Irma Gonzales, her hands covered with aromatic oil, laid her fingers gently on my
forehead and began the long, slow transformation that would take me from the stress of 20th century life to the peacefulness of total relaxation. Little did I realize that in the next 45 minutes I’d surrender myself totally to her gentle but firm touch. She worked over my head and then seemed to pull the tension out of my shoulders, She moved on down to my feet, massaging them until I could feel my organs shifting around inside me body. As she rubbed and stroked my legs, massaging the oil into them until the friction created a warm glow, I drifted into a deep meditation that brought colors to my eyes–from bright orange and red to blue and purple. I became a prisoner of her decisive touch. Thus began my first-ever massage in a spa at the magic touch of a young Mexican woman”.
As interest in fitness sails to an all-time high and as a growing number of Americans view exercise and fitness as an integral part of their daily lives, travelers to Mexico are looking for spas and fitness centers both at the beach and beyond. Unlike spa resorts in the U.S., few of today’s Mexican resorts exist solely as destination spas, except for Ixtapan de la Sal in the State of Mexico and Rancho la Puerta in Baja California. Spa Las Quintas and Hotel and Spa Hacienda Cocoyoc, in the State of Morelos, are good examples of inland resort spas. Many resorts in Mexico owners are now looking at spas as an additional amenity, likening them to pools or golf. But a spa is much more and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Owners of both the Morelos’ spas have taken steps to make sure their spas go well beyond just a resort amenity.
