Relax

SE Spa

You’ll feel renewed the moment you enter the SE Spa — awarded as the Top Luxury Spa Resort in Baja California Sur by LUXlife magazine — which incorporates the desert landscape and local healing elements found in nature. Experience restorative rituals that combine natural ingredients with tradition. Lose yourself in the seven-step Water Journey, which includes time in the ice room, steam room and sensation pool. Grand Velas Los Cabos’ Spa Atelier instills the concepts of wellness and a healthy lifestyle from within. In this tranquil space within the spa facilities, guests can take part in relaxing workshops ranging from aromatherapy to natural skincare and making fresh flower mandalas petal by petal. The Atelier also encourages nutrition in its cooking lessons: Guests can make superfood energy bites, among other seasonal offerings.

Signature treatments: Discover the true flavor and aroma of Mexico by enjoying an invigorating massage. The Four-Hand Tequila & Nopal massage blends ancestral stretching techniques with traditional Mexican rebozos (which provide physical well being and helps relax muscle tension), and a tequila massage with soothing properties. The ritual ends with a moisturizing nopal mask on your hands and feet. Choose from three different types of herbal compresses with the Healing Samunprai treatment and enjoy the benefits of Thai herbal wisdom. This treatment uses heat to release the properties of the herbs that are inside the compresses. This technique reduces fatigue and anxiety, and improves blood and lymphatic flow.
