Directions to Mayan Spa PM

The Ixchel Jungle Spa is a non-profit organisation, directed by owner, Sandra Dayton. It was created so that local Mayan women would be able to benefit from visiting tourists through their skilled massages.

Mayan women believe their hands are blessed with the gift of massage from the Gods. This is called the 'Don' or 'Healing Hands' and is traditionally used to heal aches and pains. From a young age, girls are taught how to massage to heal family members and mid wives use it too.
Ixchel Jungle Spa allows visitors to experience a real traditional Mayan massage for less than half than what they would pay at a top resort, where the money goes to directly to the masseuse and her family.

Come here for unique massages and equality for locals. Surrounded by lush jungle, this is the best place to relax in for a massage. Underneath a thatched roof palapa, take in the incense smells and the relaxing hum of the jungle outside where your massage will take place.
Choose from Full body massage, aloe vera banana leaf wrap, chocolate body wrap or Mayan deep massage wrap to name but a few options.

Open from Tuesday - Saturday all year round, with limited opening times on Sundays.

Address: Calle 2 , Calle Vallarta , Riviera Maya
