Velas Resorts in Mexico is redefining wellness with an exciting lineup of new services across its all-inclusive properties, blending ancient traditions with modern innovations. At Grand Velas Riviera Maya, guests can unlock their full potential SE Spa’s biohacking menu, inspired by global trends in optimizing health and performance. Highlights include a sensory deprivation tank to promote restful sleep, an infrared sauna and polar plunge to boost circulation and recovery, and pressotherapy boots to reduce swelling and enhance energy. Guests can also enjoy specialized treatments with an infrared hair comb and LED facial mask for scalp and skin health, as well as a FIR therapy mat, crafted from jade and tourmaline, to improve circulation and muscle recovery. Tailored biohacking packages focus on rejuvenation, relaxation, and holistic wellness, and a new CBD-enhanced treatment, developed in partnership with Cause+Medic, provides targeted recovery support, ideal for athletes.
At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, guests can harmonize mind and body with chakra healing sessions that restore energy balance. Inspired by ancestral Mexican practices, these sessions begin with a Copal Cleansing Ceremony, a ritual that relies on aromatic tree resin to clear negative energy, followed by a series of guided practices including ice baths to stimulate the nervous system, sound healing and meditation to align the chakras, and mindfulness exercises to promote inner peace. To conclude the session, guests are presented with fresh fruits and herbal tea. Individual Reiki sessions with personalized sound baths are also available for guests seeking a more private experience. Priced at $1,050 for up to 10 participants or $365 per individual, these offerings are available upon request and can be tailored to guest preferences.
Meanwhile, Grand Velas Los Cabos offers an indulgent Head Spa Experience ($170) for unparalleled relaxation. Beginning with a welcome ritual featuring rosemary and mint, the treatment involves a deep cleansing of the hair using MoroccanOil products, followed by a custom hair mask. While the mask absorbs, a relaxing scalp massage using Japanese shiatsu techniques is performed to relieve tension and balance energy. The treatment concludes with the application of collagen eye patches to reduce wrinkles and a professional blow-dry for a polished finish.
Unique offerings like a holistic labyrinth meditation at Casa Velas invite guests to connect with nature. The new Wellness Wednesdays encourage guests to embrace relaxation and mindfulness through a curated series of activities set in the serene surroundings of the Botanical Garden. Participants embark on a two-hour journey of wellness that includes yoga to harmonize body and mind, guided meditation through the labyrinth for inner balance, and a tea-blending workshop. The latter blends creativity with the calming art of herbal infusion, where participants create their own teas using freshly picked herbs and spices from the onsite botanical garden. These thoughtfully designed experiences provide a rejuvenating midweek escape, fostering holistic wellbeing for guests to embrace in the new year.
