SPA DAYS A little "me" time can be the key to meetings productivity. Whether in the spa or on the golf course, personal time for relaxation sits at the heart of every incentive. And Mexico aims to please. The country is the No. 1 golf destination for U.S. players outside the continental United States, featuring hundreds of championship courses designed by the greatest players. The spas are among the best in the world, winning accolades from Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, Travelers Choice and many others. SPA SAVVY Mexican Caribbean Serenity Named "Best Spa in the World" by Virtuoso, groups of all sizes find bliss at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya, the region's largest spa at nearly 90,000-sf and 40 treatment suites. Treatments are inspired by world cultures and range from Mayan jade facials to Hindu Abyanga massages. The signature Riviera Maya Water Journey features waterfalls, water bubble beds, a clay room and other heavenly experiences. All this, coupled with the Life Fitness Center; yoga, Pilates and other classes and a beauty salon, makes it excellent for large programs. The Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach Cancun Gem Spa is another favorite for large, high-end groups. Textured woods 38 SPA DAYS 38-39_2014_Spa_and_Golf.indd 38 and black granite define its 40,000-sf and 26 treatment rooms, including two spa master suites that are equipped with hydro massage tubs and chromo therapy, VIP treatment rooms, Shiatsu and Thai massage rooms and the enormous Sensations pool overlooking Nichupte Lagoon. Unique gemstone therapies, Latin America's only 10-step hydrotherapy ritual, full service beauty salon and fitness center add to the pleasure. The Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun is also adept at pampering large groups, serving 34 guests an hour in 39 treatment rooms. Six spa suites overlooking the golf course lake are included in this mix. Balneotherapy and a multi-sensory facial are among its signature indulgences. The 10-room Kinan Spa at the Maroma Resort & Spa by Orient Express was named in 2013 as the No. 1 spa in Mexico and the Caribbean by Conde Nast Traveler. Pennsylvania-based, Harleysville Insurance bought out the luxury 74-room property for 140 incentive winners in 2012. "The spa was enchanting and quickly sold out," said Barbara Gaugler, the company's senior meeting and event planner. The spa incorporates Mayan healing practices including homegrown herbs and plants into every aspect. Each treatment room is directionally aligned for maximum energy flow. The Mayan Temazcal steam ceremony is performed by a shaman. | 2014 www.visitmexico.com 12/5/13 2:26 PM  http://www.visitmexico.com
