JW Marriott Los Cabos

With summer spa vacation planning in full swing, Paradise by Marriott — a collection of nine beachfront resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico — is sharing insider recommendations on top treatments to book at their properties… which all have impressive spas offering indigenous and traditional treatments, alongside wellness programs.

Think: a visit to JW Los Cabo’s Temazcal (a Mexican sweat lodge)… or a Rebirth Water Therapy at the Puerto Vallarta Marriott… or a Balinese Body Polish at the Aruba Marriott (with Balinese Boreh!).  All of them sound out of this world – check these impressive spas out!

Paradise by Marriott – Summer Spa Vacations

JW Los Cabos – Jasha Spa (don’t miss the ancient pre-Hispanic Temazcal – it’s a Mexican sweat lodge!)

Puerto Vallarta Marriott – Ohtli Spa (the Rebirth Therapy uses the healing powers of water)

CasaMagna Cancun – Cancun Spa (book the Shiatsu Ma to relieve emotion tension)

JW Cancun – Mayan-inspired Spa (the Mayan Herbal Exfoliation does a body good with native herbs, oats & oils)

Aruba Marriott – Mandala Spa (The Mandara Balinese Body Polish does wonders with a choice of coffee, lime & ginger.. plus Balinese Boreh) (Lovely spa in a lovely location!)

Curacao Marriott Beach Resort – Spa & Health Club (can’t go wrong with a massage on the beach!)

Frenchman’s Reef Marriott – Lazule Sea Spa & Salon (book one of the three poolside cabanas with stunning views)

Grand Cayman Marriott – La Mer Spa (get back to the basics with the Beach Glow – a simple yet effective head-to-toe sea salt body scrub)

St. Kitts Marriott – Emerald Mist Spa (the Bamboo Massages uses warm bamboo stalks to work out ALL kinks) (I have had this treatment and it is divine!)

It’s a shame that I have only been to two of these amazing spas – I just added all of them to my “Goblet List”!
