Okom Spa
The Reef 28
Playa del Carmen,
Mexico
The Reef 28 Resort is located just steps from
the lively and bustling Quinta Avenida in the
heart of Playa del Carmen on Calle 28 near
to the infamous Mamitas Beach. It Offers guests an
option of all-inclusive or European plan for those who
are looking for experiencing life in downtown ‘Playa’.
The Okom Spa provides guests with a tranquil respite
from the lively bars and restaurants of this popular
area. The hydrotherapy circuit welcomes men and
women together with a glass fronted sauna, an
eucalyptus-scented steam room, sensorial showers,
a cold plunge pool maintained at a refreshing 11
celsius degrees and a jacuzzi hydrotherapy pool
with an impressive array of therapy stations. Start by
relaxing on the bubble beds, before moving on to the
high-pressure jets positioned in an arc to focus on
the neck and back muscles. Continue with the leg
massage station to stimulate circulation in the lower
body, before relaxing under the water cascade or
sitting in the jacuzzi area.
The spa experience for couples takes place in the
‘Fire’ treatment room, in the warm glow of candlelight.
Starting with an exfoliation using crushed seeds to
remove any dead skin and invigorate the body, the
ritual then continues with a massage incorporating
Himalayan salt stones and ending with a feather-soft
light massage from head to toe, while the therapist
wears a soft glove. Finally, awaits a warm bubble
bath with rose petals in which you can enjoy a glass
of champagne with your partner.
The Okom Spa at Reef 28 also offers membership
for locals in Playa del Carmen with access to the 24-
hour gym, yoga classes and rooftop pool deck.
