Choosing a Spa Experience in Mexico

Spas, and the benefits they contribute to our well-being, have become so popular in recent years that hotels and resorts across Mexico are investing millions of dollars upgrading their facilities and building new spa centers inside their existing facilities.

It wasn’t so long ago that spa body treatments, massages, facials, and a range of alternative therapies were only provided at a destination spa.

Today, many of the top-flight hotels and resorts in Mexico are becoming Resort Spas, offering comprehensive spa facilities for guests to enjoy, most often in a purpose-built center, slightly separated from the hotel’s other facilities, giving spa clients additional privacy an edge of exclusivity.

Our updated Guide to Spas in Mexico provides a great source of information which explains the different types of spa and their services and shows you how to choose the spa that is right for you.

If you are searching for a highly focused spa experience, or seek very specialist treatments or therapies, then you’ll need to visit a Destination Spa.  Destination spas are hotels, but the facilities on offer are solely ’spa-focused’.   The principal advantages of a Destination spa are the wider range of specialist services and therapies on offer, an environment conducive to getting the most from those therapies, and the very best ones will have outstanding staff with in-depth knowledge and experience.

Destination spas focus solely on spa treatments, so if you’re traveling with a partner or family who prefer to take part in other activities on their vacation, a Resort Spa will be a better choice.

Resort spas have been raising their game significantly in recent years, and today provide an ever-increasing number of spa services and treatments.   The increase in service offerings is also being matched with the installation of first-class facilities to deliver them.

The Mexperience Spas Collection is sub-classified into two main groups: Destination Spas and Resort Spas.  If you are looking for inspiration, the entire Collection may be browsed on one page.

Some of the properties in our Mexico Boutique Hotels Collection also offer spas, so if you want to combine a boutique hotel experience with spa services—and enjoy the best of both experiences—you may find a list of these here.
