Located on a private beach along Mexico’s lovely Riviera Maya coast, Barceló Maya Beach Resort completed its $80 million renovation, including a $6 million expansion to the U-Spa Wellness and Fitness Center. New features include a swish new design, a hydrotherapy circuit with immersion pools, an aromatherapy shower circuit with herb, wood and citrus-scented options; and a new spa area dedicated to children. The new offerings are in addition to the spa’s romantic couples’ suite and popular dual flotation tank therapy room, with its 180-degree dome of artificial stars reflecting Mayan astronomy. Along with relaxing flotation tank therapy sessions, treatment choices now include a Propolis Mask that’s the perfect antidote to too much beach-inspired sunshine. This skin-rejuvenating facial with Pevonia products includes bee propolis that helps reduce sensitivity. The 50-minute After Sun Body Wrap cold therapy includes intense moisturization and a phyto-aromatic mist applied to the entire body. There’s also a 50-minute Tropical Body Wrap with Papaya and Pineapple that utilizes a rich, nourishing cream made of butter, Vitamin A, vanilla, crème fraîche and extracts of papaya, pomegranate and pineapple. Visiting couples can enjoy a starlit beach massage that includes a bottle of sparkling wine.
