Banyan Tree Spa Mayakoba, located at the Banyan Tree resort in the Riviera Maya near Playa del Carmen, Mexico, is an award-winning wellness sanctuary that masterfully weaves Asian healing traditions with the spirit of ancient Mesoamerican culture. Sixteen individual treatment villas poised above the resort's tranquil waterways house therapists trained at Banyan Tree Academies in Thailand and Indonesia, delivering Balinese and Thai massages, bespoke facials, and signature body rituals. The Temazcal, an ancient sweat lodge ceremony led by a shaman using volcanic stones and healing herbs, offers a profound cultural wellness experience, while the Rainforest hydrothermal circuit guides guests through Finnish saunas, aroma steam rooms, rain walks, and thermal contrast experiences. The spa is open daily and welcomes both resort guests and visitors by appointment, offering a serene escape surrounded by the lush cenote-fed lagoons and tropical landscapes of Mayakoba.
