Ceiba del Mar is also the perfect getaway for spa-goers. The Spa at Ceiba del Mar is a holistically focused facility offering Mayan-inspired spa therapies and its own natural and organic product lines. The spa includes a purifying hydrotherapy circuit with sauna, plunge pools, indoor heated Jacuzzi and steam room, as well as six spacious treatment rooms and a couple’s suite with private lounge and Jacuzzi terrace. Mayan-inspired spa treatments include:

• Top‘Nikte Massage with an aromatherapy body wrap.

• Ook T’on Revitalization with a sea salt exfoliation to the legs and feet followed by a reflexology massage and a volcanic clay masque.

• Balsamic Mayan Massage with custom essential oils blended to restore vitality and applied in a specific raindrop style sequence along the spine activating the healing powers of the central nervous system. 

The spa also offers guests the chance to experience an authentic Temazcal Ceremony, an ancient Mayan cleansing rite that takes place at sunset inside a terra-cotta sweat lodge on Ceiba’s beach.  This unique ritual begins with a seaside chant, an ancestral sounding of the conch shell, an offering of flowers, and concludes with the reading of hot volcanic stones, which together with an infusion of steam-inducing aromatic herbs, is used to cleanse and purify the mind, body and spirit.

For those looking to explore the area near the resort, off-site activities can be arranged such as a snorkeling visit to the National Reef Park in Puerto Morelos, which is the second largest coral reef in the world, or a trip to the Crococun (crocodile reserve) with hundreds of crocodiles, as well as dozens of white-tailed deer, spider monkeys, snakes, spiders, and birds. And if you are looking for something really adventurous, Ceiba del Mar can arrange an Extreme Canopy Adventure in Selvatica, which is considered to have some of Mexico’s fastest, highest and longest zip lines.

Ceiba del Mar’s Labor Day savings, which go through the end of September, offer guests an affordable way to enjoy one of Mexico’s most luxurious seaside resorts. Room rates start at $129 plus 19% taxes and a 5% service charge based on double occupancy.
