Sublime Samana has introduced the “Mangrove Dew” treatment to its existing menu of spa services offered at the Coconut Whispers Spa. The new addition comes days after being recognized as one of the best spas by Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe, a publication specialized in highlighting the best spas in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.
The new detail-oriented, spa mega-treatment is divided into three sections to accomplish the overall goal of spiritual relaxation, stress reduction and the betterment of blood circulation.
First, guests are headed into the Temazcal to allow the heat to open the pores of the entire body. The Temazcal is an ancient, dome-shaped sweat lodge used by various indigenous groups for purification purposes. The philosophy behind the treatment is the return to the womb to be spiritually separated from the outside world and reconnected with the inner self.
Next, guests are covered in a warm mud treatment, which is left on the body to strengthen and revitalize the elasticity of the skin. While waiting for the mud treatment to dry, guests receive a corporal massage focused on the head, hands and soles of the feet. Once the mud treatment dries, guests are rinsed off.
Finally, guests are submerged into an organically prepared coconut milk bath and are left alone to relax. Pre-Hispanic cultures considered these baths revitalizing and necessary to protect the body and soul from negative energies. The coconut milk is rich in vitamins C, E, K, B, and is prepared in-house.
The duration of the treatment is 120 minutes, including additional time allowed for guests to remain in the lounge area. The Mangrove Dew treatment can be booked individually or as a couple for USD$150 per person.
The uniqueness of Coconut Whispers Spa relies on the effective use of every part of the coconut from using the outer shell to create exfoliators to grinding the coconut meat for facials and using the extracted milk for the bath. To complete the full coconut-themed experience of the spa, guests are given a refreshing drink straight from the young coconuts handpicked from the surrounding palm trees.
