RELAX AND

RECHARGE

From luxurious beachfront spas and holistic wellness centers to world-class treatments inspired by Baja’s natural beauty, Los Cabos offers an array of wellness experiences that cater to every need.

There’s an ancestral healing tradition on the Baja peninsula that dates back to the Mayan civilization. Today in Los Cabos, travelers can tap into this ancient wisdom at modern-day luxury resorts and spas. Known as curanderismo, Mexico’s folkloric healing traditions are carried out in temazcal sweat lodge ceremonies where herbs are steamed and songs are chanted in a purifying ritual presided over by a shaman.

From traditional ceremonies to newfangled interpretations, restorative hydrotherapy journeys, and results-oriented treatments, you’ll find a wealth of options when it comes to relaxing and recharging in luxurious Los Cabos spas. With rooftop yoga at sunset and beach boot camp at dawn, inspiring panoramas of the crashing sea add another element of relaxation to the transformative wellness experience.

FOLKLORIC WELLNESS TRADITIONS

Inside the Waldorf Astoria Spa, nestled inside the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal resort, the ancient Mayan tradition of curanderismo is alive and well.

There’s also a menu of sumptuous soak rituals designed to harness the ocean’s energy where spa-goers bathe with products like a hydrating seaweed treatment, hibiscus bath salts, and body polish and oil, all while sipping organic tea by candlelight in a black algae face mask. The Waldorf Astoria Spa is home to incredible amenities, including grottos with steam rooms, saunas, ice rooms, and whirlpools with a wealth of local herbal remedies on hand. There’s also a saltwater meditation pool accessible directly from private treatment rooms.

Its traditional healing ritual is a massage that begins with copal incense and herb- and flower-infused waters for a cleansing ritual and incorporates healing tools ranging from fresh bamboo to hot stones, indigenous medicines, and a traditional rebozo stretching shawl.

Before or after your treatment, indulge in the spa’s steam room, sauna, and hot and cold plunge pools. For deeper immersion, you can even embark on a healer-led journey, from cacao ceremonies to full moon meditations and breathwork.
