The St. Regis Spa is a scenic sanctuary that captures the beauty of Punta Mita.

Why You’ll Love It/Key Features: Guests can enjoy our five individual treatment rooms, three couple’s rooms (two of which feature Jacuzzis), along with a special apothecary room dedicated to ancient tradition rituals. The St. Regis Spa features a beautiful pavilion where guests can enjoy al fresco manicures, pedicures, and sound bath treatments. 

In collaboration with a local shaman, the recent renovations include the addition of a Temazcal—an indigenous Mayan sweat lodge—to introduce an immersive, authentic, and transformative experience deeply rooted in traditional healing practices to the destination.

We have an immersive Hydrotherapy area where we perform a water ceremony prior to massages including a steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, plunge pool, and relaxation area. Our amazing and private luxury suite offers an intimate setting for small celebrations.

The spa has different relaxation areas where guests can lounge before and after their treatments.

Insider’s Tip: Arrive 30 minutes earlier than your appointment. This will give you time to relax, enjoy the facilities like saunas or Jacuzzis, and mentally prepare for your treatment. Don’t hesitate to communicate with your therapist about any preferences or needs you may have—they are there to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Hydration is key: drinking water or herbal tea after your treatment helps flush out toxins released during the session. Avoid alcohol before and after your spa experience to maximize the benefits of your treatment.

Guests can also relax outdoors under an open-air thatched roof pavilion.

Bonus: Customization. At the St. Regis Spa, we tailor each treatment and recognize that each guest, face, and body is unique. Each treatment is customized to meet individual needs and to deliver the benefits each guest seeks.

Guests can indulge in seasonal tea, healthy snacks, and a guided water ceremony during their visit. We also offer complimentary sound bath sessions twice a week for our guests.

Splurge Treatment: Our Citrus Supreme Vitamin C treatment is a source of youth. During this 150-minute indulgence, immerse your skin in the antioxidant power of a vitamin C treatment. This nutrient-rich facial and body treatment restores the vitality of sun-damaged skin and helps minimize the signs of premature aging. It’s the perfect option to recover firmness, improves luminosity, combat dark spots, and improves elasticity.

Insider’s Favorite: The Vibra Healing Tibetan Massage is a 90-minute experience that brings you into a deep state of serenity. The ancient Tibetan bowls create vibrations that travel through your body, relaxing your brain waves and significantly reducing stress, insomnia, and anxiety while a full-body massage enhances your physical and mental well-being.

For an elevated spa experience, guests can reserve the spa's luxurious suite that includes a heated pool, outdoor shower, private lounge, and treatment cabin.

Most Unique Treatment: The ‘Hisi’ Awakening Ritual is a 120-minute journey that uplifts your soul and reawakens your body and spirit. Hisi, from the native Cora language, means “dream healer.”

This indulgent whole-body experience begins with an organic desert salt body polish turquoise sage smoothing exfoliation leaving your skin healthy, refined, and soft as silk. Your body is then harmonized with a sublime massage with organic arnica and turquoise sage lotion, and concludes with a pure cucumber and aloe vera facial mask to speed skin repair and regeneration.

This full-body treatment will enhance your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and leave you refreshed and awakened.

The Temazcal experience elevates Huichol tradition with transformative healing of the body and spirit.
