Zentropia Spa & Wellness at Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres boasts an expansive hydrotherapy circuit where guests can enjoy a variety of heat and cold experiences before their chosen treatment or spa journey. Begin with the sauna, refresh with a sensorial shower and stimulate circulation with the hot jacuzzi and refreshing cold plunge pool. Enjoy the aromatic, eucalyptus-scented steam room before relaxing in the ambient halotherapy chamber with beautiful Himalayan salt brick walls, inhaling micronized salt particles to improve respiratory and skin health. A few minutes inside the unique snow cabin, where the temperature is maintained at 5 to 23°F (-15 to -5°C), brings down the temperature of the body before progressing to the pools, where invigorating jets massage the neck, back, legs and feet. An additional pool upstairs offers guests an impressive view over the water and access to the Healthy Habits bar where juices, smoothies, and healthy elixirs are served.
A variety of massages, body treatments and facial experiences are available at Zentropia; one interesting option is the Mexican Ritual. A massage that incorporates deep tissue techniques on the back with the placement of heated rice pouches, infused with pepper, star anise, cinnamon, rosemary, and mint to stimulate circulation and ease muscle tension. A more gentle technique is used for the arms and legs, and the treatment culminates in a stress-relieving scalp massage and reflexology on the feet. Mothers-to-be can enjoy the prenatal massage, Maternal Caress, a gentle treatment designed to relieve the discomfort of pregnancy, performed while lying on each side, finishing in the zero gravity position.
Zentropia is also home to a beauty salon for hair, nails, and makeup, a range of group fitness activities such as yoga, pilates, and zumba, plus a fully equipped gym and fitness center. In addition to the wellness services, Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres offers guests the chance to improve their tennis skills at the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, focusing on technical, strategic, and physical preparation, as well as mental training. With eight clay courts, one paddle tennis court, and a soccer field, there’s a host of activities on offer.
