Experience a series of holistic treatments patterned after those that the Mayas practiced centuries ago, all with the aim of enhancing your physical and spiritual well-being.
After a short walk from the pier, you will arrive at a special VIP area where you will indulge in a Mayan holistic experience. The intention is to release your positive energy and cleanse your spirit through traditional treatments that have been used for centuries.
A Mayan spiritual guide, known as a xaman, will lead you through the ceremonial process of purification within the VIP area. Your series of treatments may begin with a soothing Mayan bath in warm mineral-rich water. A temazcal session in a steam room usually follows. Mayas traditionally used these sorts of sessions to purify their inner spirits while a shaman chanted over herbal vapors emanating from steaming hot rocks.
Other treatments offered within the Mayan wellness palapa include a cleansing clay ritual and a coconut milk bath that will soften your skin. You will also receive a relaxing massage in a hammock that should release even the last vestiges of stress.
After the treatments, you will enjoy a healthy lunch at your leisure and a selection of refreshing drinks such as Mayan hibiscus water, a slightly tart garnet-colored beverage.
You will then have the opportunity to snorkel in the shallow waters of Akua Bay. The reefs here are teeming with brightly colored tropical fish and graceful stingrays, so it should be quite the underwater show.
