SE Spa at Grand Velas Riviera Maya Resort Debuts Mayan Jade Facial Spa Treatment
The award-winning SE Spa at Grand Velas Riviera Maya Resort recently added the Mayan Jade Facial to its menu of locally-inspired spa offerings. The 80-minute anti-aging treatment uses a jade roller to enhance the massage experience. In local culture, jade is carved into deity masks and ritual artifacts by native tribes, who believe that it blesses anything it touches. In some instances, jade is cast into wells as an offering to the water spirits for fresh and plentiful water.

The treatment incorporates active ingredients that target lines and wrinkles, immediately reducing expression lines and signs of aging. The jade facial rollers helps the skin absorb the serum, as well as tighten, smooth, and sculpt the skin’s surface.
Other benefits include relieved facial tension, sinus pressure, and headaches, improved skin elasticity, and reduced puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. Jade rollers benefit the skin by increasing lymphatic drainage, helping to remove toxins from the face while also encouraging circulation, leaving the skin with a natural, glowing appearance.
Prior to the treatment, guests can enjoy the spa’s renowned Hydrotherapy Journey—a 7-step water journey that includes a eucalyptus-scented steam room with chromotherapy, polar pool, aromatherapy sensory shower, sauna, Jacuzzi and multi-sensory pool. The central pool features several hydro elements such as powerful massaging faucets for the neck and back, as well as carved-stone chaises with jets set just underneath the surface of the water on which guests recline.
The 80-minute treatment costs $342. For more information and to make a reservation, visit the resort’s website, call 1-888-407-4869, and follow them on Instagram: @grandvelasmaya
