Where to Stay:

Mexico Retreats

The Ocean Spa Hotel
Cancun

Just as its name suggests, this beautiful hotel is right by the ocean, and is home to the world-class Ya’ax Ché Spa. The Ya’ax Ché is the Mayan tree of life, and the spa here reflects the Mayan belief that our minds and bodies are connected to everything around us.

At Ya’ax Ché you can spoil yourself with body and facial treatments, Swiss shower and Jacuzzi, and a beauty salon.

If you don’t fancy perspiring in the sauna and steam bath, you can choose to break a sweat in one of the numerous activities instead, making it one of the most complete Mexico Retreats. From tennis and windsurfing, to yoga and aqua aerobics.

Sunset Marina Resort & Yacht Club
Cancun

On the shore of the Nichupte Lagoon, this Mediterranean-style resort makes the ideal Mexico retreat for the whole family.

If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of your luxurious bedroom suite, enjoy a sailing tour or a game of volleyball. Then, send the little ones off to a fun-filled afternoon at the Kids’ Club while you indulge in a trip to the Sunset Spa. Afterwards, soak up some vitamin D sprawled across a soft daybed.

This adults-only haven in Tulum was inspired by the Golden age of Mexican cinema, ideal for a romantic retreat or a solo getaway.

Amongst other things, the luxury signature spa provides soothing hot stone or crystal therapy, chocolate mud wraps, coffee body exfoliation, and a deep sleep chamomile herb bath.

When you’ve been thoroughly pampered, you can return to your suite, which boasts an outdoor shower, plunge pool, and an Instagram-worthy hanging basket chair.
