Begin your journey at Naum Wellness & Spa with the 90-minute Sac Ki Ritual, a treatment that harmonizes the mind, body, and spirit using a three-part sequence inspired by Mayan beliefs. The ritual opens with a moment of reflection, allowing you to connect with your intentions before an invigorating full-body exfoliation.

“Sac Ki,” meaning “white henequen” in Mayan, is a revered fiber traditionally used to release impurities, revealing the skin’s natural glow. The ritual continues with a massage using sacred copal oil, derived from the resin of the copal tree, which has been used in Mayan rituals for centuries to purify and heal, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Conclude with a unique beverage ceremony, marking your journey toward renewed wellness and balance in Andaz Mayakoba’s lush surroundings.

Naum Spa is open seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Please book in advance by emailing naum.spa@andaz.com or by phone: +52 984 1491234.

Located between the lush Mayan jungle and mangroves, Banyan Tree Spa offers a sanctuary for the senses where ancient traditions meet modern luxury. The Rejuvenating Mayan Experience, a 150-minute ritual, is inspired by the connection between the body’s energy points and the 20 solar seals of Mayan cosmology, which represent energies tied to nature, time, and the cycles of life, serving as guides for harmony and spiritual alignment.

This transformative experience begins with a Prickly Pear Scrub, followed by an Anti-Oxidant Body Mask enriched with aloe vera, white clay, coconut, and grape to restore vitality. The ritual culminates with Agave Candle Massages, a soothing blend of warmth and hydration that melts away tension while rejuvenating the body and spirit. Every detail of this ritual is thoughtfully designed to awaken balance and energy, creating an unforgettable moment full of peace.
