Grand Velas Resorts in Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit and Los Cabos have recently announced a new spa concept, SE SPA, that will shower guests in Mexican culture while restoring total wellbeing. Meaning “one” in Aztec, the word SE was chosen by world renowned spa consultant Diana Mestre to symbolize the human journey to self discovery and renewal. Inspired by the changing patterns of the seasons, SE SPA centers around nature and the four seasons, incorporating subtle changes in flavors, aromas and other elements throughout the year for constantly evolving experiences. Each of the three award-winning spas will focus on a specific wellness path and totem, in honor of ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions.
The four seasonal themes are below
Renewal: February, March, April
Celebrating renewal and creation, the menu incorporates scents like lavender, jasmine and neroli (bitter orange)
Joy: May, June, July
Experience bold and cheery aromas like citrus, orange blossom, verbena and lime
Inspiration: August, September, October
Herbal tones highlight the autumn menu with scents like rosemary, eucalyptus and mint
Introspection: November, December, January
Deep, rich aromas like cedar, incense and cinnamon fill the winter menu
