The concept of alchemy, which symbolize transformation through the flow of energy and balance of elements, is a guiding metaphor for the spa’s philosophy, and the treatment menu utilizes native ingredients and incorporates ancient practices, restoring the mind, body, and spirit by harnessing the intuitive power of nature.

Insider’s Favorite: As spa director, I find myself continually returning to our Deep Tissue Massage. This foundational therapy effectively relieves tension and restores physical balance, offering the reset our bodies often need. It’s a powerful reminder that simplicity, when expertly delivered, can be profoundly healing..

Unique Treatment: Our Temazcal experience is a deeply meaningful offering that transcends traditional spa treatments. Rooted in pre-Hispanic tradition, this ceremony whose name comes from the Nahuatl word for “house of heat” guides guests through an emotional and spiritual journey.

Through breath, heat, and intention, it cultivates clarity, renewal, and connection to self and nature. It is both a cultural and therapeutic experience unlike any other.
