Insider’s Tip: The spa encourages guests to check in 30 minutes prior to their appointment to indulge in the "pasaje de Agua," a water therapy experience which incorporates hot and cold plunges, steam, and rest for purification of the body. Guests can book an evening Starlight Spa experience for exclusive after-hours access to the spa, allowing them to indulge in the contemporary space and reach full relaxation with personalized treatments. Another insider tip is that guests who book their spa treatment in advance receive 10% off!
Bonus: Complimentary aguas frescas!
Snacks Served: We serve aguas frescas, indigenous fresh fruit beverages.
Splurge Treatment: I would recommend a specialty session with Master Therapist Connie Ruiz, who has over 20 years of certified massage therapy experience. Sessions with Connie begin with a personal consultation and assessment of treatment outcomes, to which she will customize your therapy and provide recommendations.
Unique Treatment: The most unique treatment would be the Circadian Rhythm Sleep Massage—designed for those who have trouble sleeping—from tension, travel or sickness. The team will use techniques such as aromatherapy and relaxing strokes to nod guests to a peaceful zen state.
Insider’s Favorite: Auberge Attunement consists of a blend of massage therapies with warm herbal compresses infused with muscle soothing essential oils that are applied to key pressure points to help relieve pain and inflammation. Once the body is warmed, a series of assisted stretches, deep tissue massage techniques and warm cool stones work synergistically to ease tight muscle and improve flexibility.
Featured Products: The spa features organic Esperanza-specific bath products which will transport your senses back to Baja. The blend consists of tart Mexican limes; vanilla imported from one of the first Malagasy-owned master distillers in Madagascar; a twist of litsea cubeba; and a hint of coconut massoia.
In addition, OSEA, Tara, Lola Apothecary, Laurel, and Saint Jane products are featured.
