Kinan Spa

The Kinan Spa is widely considered one of the best in the region, and they certainly take wellness very seriously here. Mayan for “energy” or “spirit,” Kinan has been carefully designed, with treatment rooms facing east to west, supposedly to promote better energy flow. The menu is comprehensive and globe-trotting, offering everything from lomi lomi massage to Thai massage, reiki and Mayan herbal poultice wraps. If you’re looking for something unique to the region, though, don’t miss the Temazcal experience: similar to a Hawaiian sweat lodge, this deeply spiritual ancient ritual is performed at dusk by a shaman in a special domed structure. Heated rocks are doused with herb-infused water to create an aromatic, healing steam, then aloe vera is applied to nourish the skin, all while chanting and incantations are sung. Lastly, participants run out into the ocean as the sun is setting.
