Cancun, Mexico; February 6, 2008 - Water surrounds and envelopes guests at Spa Aqua.  Located within the Aqua Cancun hotel, Spa Aqua offers multi-sensory treatments firmly rooted in Mayan culture as well as relaxation techniques perfected in Sweden, Australia, Polynesia, Morocco and India.

Based on traditional local and global healing therapies, Spa Aqua treatments elevate the traditional spa experience to a new level of healing for the mind, body and soul.  In addition to unique therapies administered in specialized pools, Spa Aqua features a variety of diverse inside and seaside treatment rooms, creating a multitude of experiences for couples and individuals alike.

Worldly Treatments Unite at Spa Aqua
By fusing ancient Mayan massage and relaxation techniques with global influences, Spa Aqua is able to offer an array of unique new treatments.  Performed by highly trained native-born therapists, Spa Aqua treatments utilize the finest imported spa products and natural ingredients.  Spa Aqua’s distinctive approach transports guests to the peak of emotional harmony and balance.

Spa Aqua specializes in Watsu treatments — Japanese Shiatsu massages while floating in water. Warm water surrounds the body during this treatment, relaxing the mind and body while also blocking out extraneous sounds. As relaxation sets in, the peaceful rhythm of one’s own beating heart is all that is left to hear.

Another signature Spa Aqua treatment is Le Siesté.   During this treatment, the body is submerged in water that remains a constant 97° F.  At this temperature, the body reaches its maximum potential to allow the vitamin, seaweed and mineral salt infused water to treat every pore.

Spa Aqua offers Mayan and hot stone massages as well as exclusive Mexican treatments.  These exceptional treatments include chocolate or avocado body wraps, coffee exfoliations and the Mayan Temazcal, also known as the traditional Mexican Sweat Bath.

Aromatherapy is an integral part of the Spa Aqua experience. It begins by immersing guests into a state of relaxation upon entering the spa as essences of mint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lavender waft through the space.

The spirit of Spa Aqua’s barefoot luxury extends throughout the facility, imbuing the space with soul- nurturing intimacy.
