Viceroy Riviera Maya

The daunting task of finding some of the Caribbean’s most unique spas falls on our shoulders. Thankfully, they are kneaded and well-oiled for the task at hand.

This season, one of our favorites is the Wayak Spa. This beauty is in the Viceroy Riviera Maya, so you know it’s going to be fabulous!

Our decision-making process in selecting just the right Spa Uncommon for our readers includes a lengthy list of criteria. Most commonly for our uncommon features, we look for the spa’s setting. We look for unique treatments that incorporate local/native ingredients, and several other factors. The feeling of tranquility that washes over us upon entering the very best of these spa experiences are what motivate us to share them with you.

Wayak Spa at Viceroy Riviera Maya immerses guests in authentic, indigenous rituals and experiences of rejuvenation and well-being. Here’s one that caught our attention because, who doesn’t want to know they’re on the right path to love?

TThe Xaman-Ek (Love Ritual) is an 80 Minute experience that you will definitely fall in love with. The Mayans believed that the southern star guided the footsteps of those on to the path to love, understanding, harmony and abundance. In this treatment, you’ll want to allow yourself to be pampered side by side with someone you care about. It begins with a foot ritual, followed by a relaxing massage with unique essences of love to balance the chakras. Immerse yourself in their healing herbal bath, a tub made from a black Zapote tree. With all of this stimulation, you can let the therapists create the magic, as they leave you meditating the Mayan words that will be written in your hearts forever. This couple’s experience is sure to enrich the love between the two of you. On your second visit to the spa, you guys can try the 90 minute couples treatment and go for the Mayan ceremony.
