Review by Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe
The spa at Fiesta Americana Grand in Cabo San Lucas at the southern tip of the Baja of Mexico is one of the most unique spas in all of Mexico and the only wine spa in the country. The word somma means sum, essence, conclusion, summit, top or peak. No matter what definition you choose to describe Somma Wine Spa, it is the sum of all its definitions. Its identity is best defined as wine therapy.
Using wines from the Mediterranean and the Guadalupe Valley of the Baja of Mexico and other natural ingredients, Somma Wine Spa has developed the latest therapies combining innovative wine-based ingredients with rare essences of oils and plant extracts. Let your mind fantasize as you decide from champagne massages to chocolate wraps, to coffee rituals. No matter the treatment, your day at the spa will be unforgettable. From the moment you step into the sophisticated Somma sanctuary, you will feel yourself submerged in a natural space, ready to renew your body, relax your mind and rejuvenate your spirit. Guests are invited to arrive early to take advantage of the gym and hydrotherapy facilities available without charge. A beverage of water, tea or red or white wine is offered accompanied with sugar-coated grapes and perhaps a bit of cheese in between each treatment to be enjoyed while relaxing in the lounge or terrace.
A popular choice among couples is a full day of treatments especially designed for duos, starting with the signature Le Vin massage, perhaps a coco sugar scrub that smells good enough to eat, and other unique sensations to enjoy in celestial bliss in the exclusive VIP cabin. Another romantic choice might be a Barefoot Dinner where the wine spa is brought to a table on the beach. This unique experience includes a reflexology treatment after squishing grapes mixed with essential oils with your feet, then dining near a fire pit on the chef’s choices for the palate.
For mommies-to-be, the Baby on Board Massage improves oxygenation and blood circulation, paying particular attention to the legs and lower back to give relief to tired muscles.
The ultimate in body wraps is a detoxifying treatment using a clay powder of champagne extract with powerful firming effects that define muscle tone and anti-free radical effects that increase skin hydration.
A full beauty salon completes your day at the spa with facials, nail care, and professional hair styling. Somma welcomes wedding parties and small groups to enjoy their wine spa and wine tasting events.
