Spas

By SOLE SASTRE

Whether you're looking for a holistic curandera experience, a relaxing day of self-care, an invigorating class, a beautifying treatment or a rejuvenating procedure carried out by medical experts, you’ll find that and more at the many award-winning spas and treatment facilities throughout Los Cabos.

The recently rebranded Waldorf Astoria Spa takes a traditionally holistic approach to wellness. Guests can check their stress at the door — and leave it behind — thanks to organic treatments inspired by the lunar cycle, sea and authentic curanderismo, or Mexican folk healing techniques. The techniques may be deep rooted, but the facilities are diverse and inspired, including steam rooms, saunas, ice rooms, whirlpools and a salt water meditation pool. The resort’s fitness center further connects body and spirit through complimentary vinyasa yoga classes, sunrise hikes, circuit training, athletic stretching and aqua fitness programs. Level up your yoga getaway with private classes at a beach palapa or moonlight meditation and flow sessions that get you in tune with the lunar cycle.

Also honoring Mexican heritage, the treatments and services at Eforea Spa at Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort incorporate local ingredients and native rituals. A Living Wall of flowers, herbs and other plants provides guests with the

opportunity to actively participate in their wellness experience by inviting them to hand-pick ingredients for their treatments. While many spa spaces are best suited for solitary relaxation and reflection, Eforea is ideal for wedding parties, groups and even children, who are treated to the Cabo Kids experience with custom services, ice cream parties with manicures and pedicures, and parent-child packages.

Over at the JW Marriott Los Cabos’ Jasha Spa, guests can encounter and experience a pre-Hispanic Mexican atmosphere at a facility that spans more than 21,000 square feet. Taking cues from the natural healing ingredients grown in the surrounding botanical garden detoxifying, rejuvenating and energizing spa therapies are carried out in 12 treatment rooms. Jasha also boasts an outdoor garden and patio, vitality pools, an indoor pool and private Jacuzzis, as well as

a modern version of a temazcal, a traditional Mexican sweat lodge used by the Aztecs to promote healing, health and well-being.

Consider a space specifically tailored to complement your time of wellness. Currents at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is a sevenroom spa that offers stunning ocean views, on-property rock formations and an open-air layout. The space minimizes outside stimuli, so guests can focus on relaxation and the sights, sounds and scents of the beautiful local landscape. Best of all, the property is literally steps away from the crashing waves.

Spend a day at the spa to take full advantage of the facilities, which include hotand-cold plunge pools, a couples treatment room with rain showers and a private pool, and two ocean-view cabanas for al fresco treatments and stellar views.

Among the treatment options, consider the Relaxing Ritual Experience, which addresses the body as a whole through a therapeutic massage that optimizes energy levels, a lavender body scrub that stimulates circulation and a long foot soak. The ideal treatment involves spending a day surfing Monuments Beach followed by a well-deserved pampering session at the spa.

Merging ancient practices with progressive results-driven treatments, One&Only Spa is revered as a sanctuary of renewal. Beyond a fitness regime, wellness approaches at this legendary facility blend Mexico’s natural vibrancy, culture and spiritual traditions with the art of mindful living. Rev up your heart rate with resistance training at the cuttingedge fitness facility; partake in tailored programs that include one-on-one boxing, group cycling, TRX suspension training, yoga and Pilates; and then indulge in the freshest spa cuisine presented with customary fivestar flair at the Wellness Garden.

Exclusive retreats organized throughout the year are designed to restore, reconnect and rejuvenate with practical techniques that promote well being, reduce stress and guide participants toward living in the present.

Likewise, Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos is home to BlancSpa, one of the most expansive facilities of its kind in the region. With 25 treatment suites, nine indoor couples’ suites, 15 single suites and the Le Blanc D'Or Suite, as well as an extensive menu of services and treatments that include hydrotherapy and salon services, there’s no shortage of options.

From the moment you enter the exhalted space, the Milagro Spa at Vista Encantada was designed to invoke a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Each of the spa’s enclaves has been carefully designed for privacy and to create the kind of setting that’s perfect for guests to get a chance to truly unwind.

Exclusive services with natural ingredients are used for treatments tailor made to help soothe sore muscles and revitalize and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. Spa services and rituals can be booked with a skilled member of the team who is ready to pamper you and help relieve stress and worry. After a well-deserved session, head to The Rooftop terrace, where you will find an incredible pool, restaurant and bar, as well as comfortable cabanas and lounge chairs, and — of course — breathtaking views.

At Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa, you can stay, play, get married or do all of the above, and while there, you should check out the Amura Spa, where treatments include sumptuous rituals like the Candle and Fire Massage or Seashells of the Desert Massage. Simpler body treatments are also available as are a roster of other services like body wraps, a number of facials and salon services.
