3 Spa Trends from Suppliers on VAX

These three trendy spa treatments are gaining traction amongst spa-goers. Luckily, the hotels and resorts you can book on VAX keep up with the times and offer these #trending spa and wellness experiences.

Eco-conscious treatments

The eco-friendly mindset has made its way to massages, facials and body treatments, which actually makes a lot of sense. As people are paying more attention to where their food and clothes come from, they’re now seeking eco-conscious treatments when they’re pampering themselves. Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Playa del Carmen has a luxurious and eco-friendly spa: Spa del Mar. Their spa treatments use regional ingredients like blue agave and aloe vera as well as seaweed to awaken the senses and promote ultimate relaxation.

Healthy lifestyle

The spa experience no longer ends when you leave the spa. Many spas are offering a more holistic experience that you can apply to your normal life. The Bahia Spa at Luxury Bahia Principe Samana offers the WE Wellness Experience, a three-pillared experience designed to help health-conscious travelers achieve a balanced vacation with wellness well-incorporated into it. The experience focuses on looking and feeling younger; living an anti-stress life; and incorporating athletic activities and sports nutrition into your life.

Rejuvenating facials

Facials are keystone spa offering, but what’s trending about them now is their restorative results. It’s not just a bunch of oil rubbed on your face. There are so many choices now. UNICO 20°87°, for example, has seven amazing signature facials to choose from. The most incredible-sounding one is Facial Inhibit, which they describe as an alternative to cosmetic micro-injections (ouch), using an ancient Japanese facial massage technique to alleviate muscular tension and minimize the appearance of expression lines (ahhh!).
