Nestled in the center of the resort, Waldorf Astoria Spa is a tranquil lagoon in which guests can rest, rejuvenate and tap into the natural healing culture of Baja, Mexico. Experiences are inspired by the moon and sea, or luna y mar, to deliver a distinctive approach to wellness that revolves around the phases of the moon. Take time in the wet area grottos with their steam rooms, saunas, ice rooms and whirlpools. Local herbal remedies are provided in the grotto to enhance your experience. After your treatment, relax in the spa’s salt-water meditation pool, which can be accessed directly from your private treatment room.
The four phases of the moon impact the body in very specific ways. Waldorf Astoria Spa’s signature treatments represent the varying energies of the lunar phases to align you with the rhythms of nature and enhance your wellbeing. The awakening new moon is for renewal and introspection. The nourishing waxing moon is for refocusing your energy and embodying your visions. The calming full moon is when one’s full potential is achieved, and the restoring waning moon offers the perfect time for cleansing.
The ocean is the source of life and has a powerful effect on mind, body, and spirit. Our aquatic treatments harness the energy and healing power of the sea to restore beauty, health, and spirit using ingredients such as hand-harvested 100% certified seaweed extracts from some of the cleanest waters on the planet.
Mexican folk healing is known as curanderismo. We honor the tradition through our spa guardian, who uses rituals, herbs, and healing to fortify the material, spiritual, and mental realms. We warmly invite you to begin your spa experience with our welcoming foot cleansing ritual which utilizes special herbs to purify and prepare you for your spa journey.
