The Spa at Esperanza

Long considered one of the benchmark spas in all of Latin America, The Spa at Esperanza is particularly noted for its romantic couples' treatments, but also boasts signature therapies like the Pasaje de Agua, a water based experience that combines a warm-spring soaking pool, steam caves and a cool waterfall rinse. For couples, however, there are three primary "rituals": Rites of Passage, Couple's Clay Bake, and Romancing the Stone. The latter is the must-try for first-time visitors, and begins with an outdoor soak in your own private pool, refreshed by seasonal aguas frescas. This relaxing interlude is followed by sensual, mood-enhancing body oils from Lola's Apothecary prepped and put to use during intensive hot stone massages. The finale to this pampering shared experience is an "Auberge Head to Toe", featuring rejuvenating foot exfoliations and seaweed or hot oil based hair and scalp treatments.
