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

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.
