SPA EL COCAY

The unique, El Cocay Spa takes its inspiration from the firefly. According to Maya legend, el cocay, or the firefly, saw a spark of light that illuminated its path to the green healing stone. A beloved healer, who cured through the powers of thought, word and touch, had lost the precious stone.

The beachfront, 13,000 square-foot El Cocay Spa restores the ancient traditions, rejuvenating guests through a balance of mind, body and spirit. Here, guests take in calming views of the Caribbean Sea, while indulging in traditional healing remedies and massage techniques based on Maya legends.

Specially trained therapists select herbs, fruits, seeds, flowers and other natural ingredients for oils and lotions that foster a lingering sense of peace and wellbeing.

Among El Cocay’s one-of-a-kind treatments are the revitalizing Ba’ate’el Eagle Warrior Massage and the Ts’aak Therapeutic Massage. For total rejuvenation, guests also opt for the 80-minute, four-hand Kukulkan Body Massage in a private, beachfront Palapa hut.

No Maya spa would be complete without the traditional Temazcal, the ancient steam treatment to purify body and spirit under the guidance of a Chamán. This specially trained professional combines therapeutic, steamed waters with warm stones and a blend of aromas, herbs and teas to soothe and renew.
