Review by Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe
North of Cancun, facing the coast of Isla Mujeres, sits the Finest Playa Mujeres Resort, which caters to couples and families. Part of the Excellence Group, Finest Resort features One Spa, offering a variety of spa services, couples rituals, hydrotherapy facilities and a beauty salon.
Allow plenty of time to experience the hydrotherapy ritual, guided by an attendant, to take advantage of the wide variety of facilities available. Starting with the sauna to warm up the body, you will then be revitalized by an ice-bucket shower experience before proceeding to the steam room. Within the steam room, exfoliate using a salt scrub followed by an ice application and another shock of ice water over the head. The sensorial showers alternate heat and cold and then mimic tropical rain and mist showers. Move on the hot pool and cold plunge pool to stimulate circulation and then walk the pebbled Kneipp walk to activate reflexology points in the feet. Complete the experience in the hydrotherapy pool with stimulating jets, leg massage and bubble beds. After enjoying these facilities relax on a thermal lounger while receiving a short scalp, neck and shoulder massage.
Try booking a couple’s ritual such as ‘In Loving Gratitude’ to reconnect and appreciate your partner. Commencing with a symbolic hand washing with honey, this ritual then incorporates rose petals, amaranth, flax, rice and oats in a ceremonial gesture of trust, love and forgiveness. The massage treatment combines rhythmic, choreographed Lomi Lomi style techniques to harmonize and balance the energy flow of the body with a sensual blend of aromas and essential oils incorporated throughout the experience. Enjoy a selection of custom fine teas and sweet treats from the comfort of a relaxing, swinging lounge bed after your experience.
