Spa Grand Sirenis
Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya
Riviera Maya, Mexico
The Grand Sirenis Resort, located on the Riviera Maya
coastline of Mexico, is home to an expansive 30,138 ft 2
(2,800 m 2 ) spa and wellness facility. Spa Grand Sirenis boasts
impressive hydrotherapy facilities with an array of pools offering a
variety of different experiences, from water jets to massage the
shoulders and back to underwater jets for the legs and feet and
seated alcoves with jacuzzi-style bubbles in addition to bubble
beds. Walk through a grotto of thermal experiences, including
two saunas at different heat intensities and three steam rooms
fragranced with different aromas such as eucalyptus, passionfruit
and orange. Enjoy a variety of showers and an ice fountain to
refresh in between heat experiences and stimulate the soles of the
feet by walking through the pediluvium with smooth river stones
through alternating warm and cool water sprays.
The refreshing cold plunge pool with constant water movement
provides an intense way to cool down quickly, contrasted with
the warm jacuzzis on each side or the tiled thermal lounge chairs
infusing heat to relax the muscles. Spend up to two hours enjoying
the water circuit before any spa treatment and enjoy tea, flavored
waters or other refreshments from the café bar.
The ‘Fire - Energizing Element’ couples ritual commences with time
in the private steam room inside the spacious couples’ treatment
suite, before a full body exfoliation with bamboo extract and
jojoba beads and then a shared hydromassage bath experience
with lavender and rosemary salts. Continue with a cacao body
wrap and massage to relieve tension and relax the body. An array
of massages, body treatments and facials are also available,
including the Deluxe Black Diamond Facial, an energizing facial to
revitalize the skin, leaving it moisturized and glowing.
A more traditional experience is the Temazcal, a Mayan ritual of
rebirth inside a domed structure utilizing steam and medicinal
plants during a ceremony led by a Shaman indigenous to the
region. This intense heat experience purifies and cleanses the
body, inviting guests to release emotions, express gratitude to
Mother Earth and honor our ancestors.
Around the resort, guests can walk the many ‘senderos’, trails
through the jungle foliage to observe the immense variety of flora
and fauna in the region. Guests can also visit the fitness center to
exercise and take part in a variety of outdoor activities such as
archery and air rifle shooting in addition to water activities such as
snorkeling, diving and fishing.
