The new Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya officially debuted their on-property Naum Spa. The 10,000-square-foot spa has six treatment cabins and two hydrotherapy areas along with a customized menu of services—many of which incorporate indigenous Mayan methods.
The treatments, coined "Naum Rituals," were developed based on Mayan traditions known as rituals, which are reflective of the body, mind and spirit. The spa's namesake, Naum, is the Mayan God of consciousness and mind.
Naum Rituals were created to pay homage to oneself and the Mayan Gods and to find a sense of harmony based on the guest's selected area of intention, whether it be Clarity (Tsoolik), Rest (He'lel), Strength (Muuk') or Connection (Molcintah). Each ritual is a three-part experience, beginning with a Mayan Time of Reflection, followed by the treatment itself, and concludes with a Mayan Celebration to help guests balanced and reconnect.
Guests have the ability to customize every aspect of the treatment. Upon arrival, therapists work with guests to identify their wellness intention, treatment focus and ingredients of choice, and from there, a Ritual is selected. Guests can also choose to take part in an interactive aromatherapy bar where they can design their own products and scents.
Rituals include:
- Naum Ritual of the Body, a three-part wellness experience with exfoliation, deep hydration and a nurturing massage or body balancing treatment
- Naum Ritual of the Face, a deep cleansing experience, personalized treatment plan and personalized protection for the individual’s skin type including a facial massage and treatment mask
- Naum Ritual of Massage, a customized spa experience with options such as hot stones, bespoke aromatherapy blends, Swedish or deep tissue massage
The spa will also offer additional services including hairstyling, waxing, skincare, nail care and cosmetic services; along with wellness options including yoga and meditation.
