5 Ways to Rejuvenate by Moonlight at Renowned Los Cabos Spas

By Zahra Al-Kateb

Beautifully situated along the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos boasts some of the most luxurious spas in the world. Inspired by the destination’s picturesque and romantic atmosphere, several Los Cabos spas are offering signature treatments for couples to enjoy under moonlight.

One of Los Cabos’ most sought after resorts, Las Ventanas al Parai­so, A Rosewood Resort, offers the ultimate moonlight experience with the Sea & Stars Pure Wellness treatment.  This evening treatment provides couples with a 90-minute massage followed by a romantic bath for two, where guests can choose from an array of bath salts, and indulge in chocolate covered strawberries and champagne.  With the option to have the treatment on the guest’s rooftop terrace, this is an ideal precursor to the resort’s “Sleeping with the Stars” experience, which transforms the rooftop into a luxurious bedroom.

The all-suite Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa boasts one of the most unique spa treatments within Los Cabos, the Full Moon Temazcal. This unparalleled experience is an indigenous steam bath that uses aromatic herbs traditional to Mexican and Central American cultures. The Full Moon Temazcal is only offered on evenings when there is a full moon, as the moon is considered to provide more healing energy in this phase.  The treatment brings together the four cardinal elements – earth, fire, wind and water to cleanse the body and soul.  Benefits include aiding in relaxation, hydrating and moisturizing hair and skin, fighting insomnia and arthritis, releasing negative energy and reducing muscle tension and stress.

The award-winning One&Only Palmilla offers couples looking to relax and unwind during evening hours, a vast variety of treatment options.  The Couples Experience allows guests to enjoy a 120-180 minute spa treatment of their choice, under the moonlight either on a guestroom terrace or in one of the resort’s beautiful beachfront palapas.

Set within the cliffs directly adjacent to Los Cabos’ iconic arch which marks the spot where the Sea of Cortes and the Pacific Ocean merge, the Sea Spa at Land’s End located at Grand Solmar Lands End provides one of the most breathtaking spa settings imaginable.  Grand Solmar’s Moonlight to Remember experience, inspired by Yin and Yang philosophy, is designed to address all of the senses from the Sea Spa’s dramatic open-air cabanas. The treatment begins with 80-minutes of therapeutic bodywork, followed by a 3-course romantic dinner accompanied by a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne, served on the cabana terrace.

Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort is home to Eforea Spa, which offers couples a wide array of innovative and holistic spa treatments.  The Desert Moon Healing Therapy uses purification tools such as quartz and crystals to induce a state of deep relaxation while immersing guests in soothing energy derived from the desert, moon and stars. Offered only on evenings featuring a full moon, guests can expect to experience positive effects of this healing massage such as deep relaxation and a calm state of mind.
