Coconut oil’s nourishing, skin restorative properties are well known — and operating under the premise fresher is better, why not enjoy a coconut massage on a tropical beach? At Las Alamandas in Costalegre, Mexico, the 80-minute CocoTherapy ($180) begins with a tip-to-toe exfoliating session, followed by a rich coconut body mask. The treatment wraps up with a soothing coconut oil full-body massage. Where to enjoy it? In the oceanfront spa pavilion, while you’re surrounded by cool sea breezes.

Located between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo on the Costalegre Coast on a 1,500-acre nature reserve, the luxury eco-boutique property consists of 16 tranquil suites with a private estate ambiance. Winner of the 2014 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence, the resort offers discreet, personalized service, a private landing strip, cricket, bocce ball, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, kayaks, lawn chess, mountain bikes, a wide selection of water sports, and a children’s club. Dining choices for exquisite contemporary gourmet Mexican cuisine include La Palapa Beach Club, Estrella Azul Rooftop Bar and Oceanside Oasis Restaurant, where the impressive wine list can be perused by romantic candlelight to the sound of waves washing ashore.
