JW Marriott Cusco
Frequently I get asked about spa treatments that are unique to the location one is visiting. Take a look at these amazing luxury spas that use local products in their spa treatments.
Wine-Infused Treatment at Il Salviatino / Florence
La Spa, located at the 5-star villa Il Salviatino, offers a three-hour “Tuscany Pleasure” treatment for multi-sensory satisfaction for face and body. The luxury treatment includes a body scrub with wine gel made from locally sourced Tuscan wine and then followed by a gentle wrap and a relaxing massage. A purifying cleansing facial will complete the treatment with a delicate peel using the wine gel, followed by a massage using a hyaluronic acid cream resulting in soft, perfumed skin. The price for this magical treatment is $375/ €300.
Go Mayan Goddess at JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa / Mexico
Situated on one of Cancun’s brightest beaches, JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa’s 35,000 square foot spa offers a variety of Mayan-inspired treatments, from ancient-inspired body wraps, cleanings and massages to traditional mayan body polishes and xtabentun facials (a traditional Yucatan recipe). A 50-minute Xocoatl massage uses an authentic Mexican cacao mix that leaves skin feeling silky and smooth (146). Spa-goers can also opt for a full chocolate body treatment that begins with a cocoa scrub, followed by a chocolate mask from head-to-toe (50 minutes, $130).
