Wellness is high on the “wow” factors list at Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya, part of a private compound just south of Cancun. The new wellness excursions include health-focused itineraries for your burned-out clients with spa treatments inspired by the local Mayan culture, personalized sessions with the on-site Mayan shaman and silent yoga on the beach facing the Caribbean Sea.

Your clients can indulge in the Mayan-inspired treatments at the resort’s Naum Wellness and Spa center in a jungle setting with ocean views. They can even create their own wellness ritual to ensure optimal wellness, each tied to an intention: rest, clarity, strength or connection. Rejuvenating rituals using local ingredients are available this year for the first time.

Soothing the Soul at Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya

Rituals and massages include masks and treatments using the local Melipona honey from the stingless bees native to the Yucatan peninsula, herbs for detox, cacao, coffee and other fruits, vegetables and plants.

The spirituality of the Mayan culture is also available to help your clients relax, recover and reconnect in the person of Andaz Mayakoba’s resident shaman, Fernanda Montiel. This is where personalization reaches its peak. Montiel consults with your client and taps into ancient knowledge to create a unique mind-body-spiritual experience for them to connect deeply with their surroundings. Shaman experiences include Spiritual and Shamanic sessions or a Mayan Meditation.

Of course, wellness includes communing with the great outdoors, and at Andaz Mayakoba, that means all kinds of watery pursuits, including eco-cruising, wave-running, scuba diving and snorkeling. On land, your clients can try their hand at silent yoga, where each person gets noise-canceling headphones to focus on the moves and themselves fully.

Food is nourishment for the soul at Andaz Mayakoba, so clients can prepare to indulge in the best of Mexico at the resort’s award-winning Sotavento and Casa Amate restaurants, not to mention the fully vegan menu at VB.
