Honey production takes around six to eight months and is carefully extracted from the hives by our spa shaman, who is in charge of maintaining and protecting the hives.

Spa Review: Viceroy Riviera Maya Resort, Mexico

Viceroy Riviera Maya offers a boutique luxury experience just north of Playa del Carmen, nestled in the tropical forest the 41 private villas comprise palapa roofs, private pools and indoor/outdoor shower experiences. Around the resort, Viceroy has eliminated plastic water bottles instead, serving carafes of filtered drinking water and reducing plastic waste so often seen around resorts.

Before entering the jungle-based, Wayak Spa at Viceroy Riviera Maya, guests are invited to participate in a Mayan ritual of cleansing the mind and spirit. Instruments beat gently around a small clearing in the lush foliage, close your eyes while sacred copal smoke is ‘smudged’ over the body from head to toe. You are encouraged to let go of thoughts no longer serving you, worries that may be on your mind and to make space for peace and balance.
