Spa Profile: The Spa at Las Ventanas

The entrance to The Spa at Las Ventanas at Las Ventanas Al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Situated along the desert coastline of Los Cabos, Mexico, Las Ventanas Al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort lies between two capes, San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, which Los Cabos is named after. Since its opening in 1997, the resort has set new standards for luxury and service worldwide, and is renowned for its stunning architecture and artistry.

From Mexican motifs and artwork, stunning infinity pools with pool butlers and Baja California Sur’s first-ever lazy river to 84 expansive villas and suites, the accommodations reflect the vibrant colors and spirit of Los Cabos. Each villa has a private infinity-edge pool and offers beautiful views of the Sea of Cortez; the property is also home to the Ty Warner Mansion—an exclusive 28,000-square-foot beachfront mansion located right on the water’s edge.

The Spa at Las Ventanas takes a holistic approach to wellness, offering a full range of treatments and therapies inspired by the power of the Four Elements and ancient healers of Baja. The spa’s menu taps into the powers of earth, air, fire, and water to offer an incredible assortment of spa journeys for guests to enjoy during their time spent at the lush garden oasis. In addition to indoor-outdoor treatment rooms and a stunning solarium, amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a salon, and an array of specialty menus specifically designed for juniors, wedding parties, and expectant mothers.

We chatted with Eduardo Pinet, Spa Director at The Spa at Las Ventanas, who provided special insider tips and spa bonuses, recommended treatments to try, and more.

The Spa at Las Ventanas is tucked away inside a secret garden oasis with outdoor treatment cabanas and relaxation areas.

Why You’ll Love It: Set in a serene garden, guests love the wide array of treatments offered at The Spa at Las Ventanas. Our unique treatments are guided by holistic wellness and are inspired by the ancient healers of Baja, tapping the powers of earth, air, fire, and water for ultimate restoration and rejuvenation. We have also recently partnered with Orveda, the clean skincare brand, to offer three new exclusive treatments for our guests, as well as their products in our retail store. The extensive and highly customizable treatment menu caters to all of our guests’ needs, from spiritual purification to relaxation.

Guests also enjoy access to amenities that include various pools and the spa whirlpool.

Key Features: Beyond the innovative treatments, guests are also offered five-star amenities throughout their experience. The Spa is outfitted with indoor-outdoor treatment rooms, private terraces, and duet suites for couples and eight pools, each with its own distinct ambience. Additionally, guests are able to book appointments at the state-of-the-art salon equipped with zero gravity chairs, a technologically advanced shampoo lounge, and an air-shiatsu massage system, making it the ideal destination to relax and let our expert team take care of all your nail, hair, and beauty needs.

Guests can also take advantage of the 2,900-square-foot fitness center outfitted with Peloton bikes and Technogym equipment. Individuals and groups can also schedule one-on-one sessions with on-staff personal trainers, and yoga and Pilates instructors during their stay. 

The outdoor spa relaxation solarium.

Snacks Served: We offer guests fresh fruit, kombucha, juice, citrus, as well as rosemary and hibiscus-infused water. Some of our treatments also feature signature cocktails specifically chosen to match spa-goers’ treatments.

Bonus: We like to surprise our guests who may be celebrating their birthday on their visit and provide them with a unique birthday amenity during their time at the spa. 

Guests can relax in the outdoor solarium before and after their services.

Insider’s Tip: If you’re in need of an extra perk, we recommend opting for a cleansing with our in-house healer or taking part in the Restorative Twilight Ceremony—an energy cleansing ritual inspired by the Mayans. 

A haven for the senses, The Spa at Las Ventanas takes a holistic approach to wellness and offers various spa journeys, relaxing and healing therapies, and more.

Unique Treatment: Our most unique offerings are the Holistic Twilight Ceremony and Spiritual Chilam. These powerful experiences were designed to draw on the spiritual energy of the surrounding Los Cabos natural landscape. The Holistic Twilight Ceremony takes place at dusk for 30 minutes, during which a Mayan energy cleansing ritual is performed, utilizing harmonic prayers and sage incense to inspire guests with positive energy balance. The ceremony can be combined with massage therapy for a complete cleansing journey. The Spiritual Chilam is an experience drawing upon the ancestral holistic traditions of the shamans of Baja that focuses on purifying the spirit and soul via the fusion of meditation and a stone massage.             

The Spa at Las Ventanas' innovative Four Elements menu, inspired by the ancient healers of Baja, taps the powers of earth, air, fire and water for ultimate restoration and rejuvenation.

Splurge Treatment: One of our most luxurious treatments is inspired directly by our surroundings in the desert. The Nopal Detox Desert Wrap is the perfect choice for guests seeking to detoxify and indulge in total rejuvenation using the natural vitamin C and amino acids to reduce cellulite and fluid retention. The blissful two-hour treatment begins with a full-body exfoliation, followed by a full-body blended Nopal mask, ending with a relaxing full-body massage. To conclude the experience, guests will be offered a Nopal-pineapple smoothie promoting internal cleansing.

The spa’s Elemental Journeys have been crafted to provide a memorable experience and a unique interpretation of local and spa cultures, combining a selection of services featured throughout their menu.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment would have to be Glow Is the New Lift by Orveda. This incredible treatment combines creams and deep tissue contouring to provide incredible dual glow and lift effects, leaving the eye zone and face plump and luminous.   

The spa also has a state-of-the-art salon equipped with zero gravity chairs, a technologically advanced shampoo lounge, and an air-shiatsu massage system.

Featured Products: Our spa features an impressive retail store with a wide variety of products, from top-notch skincare brands. We are thrilled to have recently partnered with Orveda, a luxury clean skincare brand that aligns perfectly with The Spa at Las Ventanas’ holistic approach to wellness. Many of Orveda’s products work from within to eliminate the need for makeup and help our guests showcase their natural beauty.
