New Year, New You:

New Year, New You: Award-Winning Solmar Spa Collection Helps Travelers Rejuvenate With a Post-Holiday Detox Los Cabos, Mexico (January 22, 2015) - Solmar Hotels & Resorts, a five-property resort group located at the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, is ready to help travelers kick off the New Year refreshed and rejuvenated with its impressive Spa Collection and plethora of treatments, services and wellness offerings. The Solmar Spa collection offers travelers three amazing spa options - Playa Grande Spa, Grand Solmar Sea Spa and Solmar Spa Cabanas. For spa goers who are seeking to detox and recharge following one-too-many holiday indulgences, the resort group recommends the following: * Temazcal Ceremony & Pre-Hispanic Bath - The Temazcal Ceremony is the perfect experience for a group interested in surrounding themselves with the healing powers of the four elements - fire, earth, water and air. The 2-hour steam lodge treatment provides a balance of mind and body and brings about a spiritual awakening. It is an excellent way to heal emotions, release fears, let go of stress and reconnect with the people closest to you. For those who might be interested in this activity but on a smaller scale, the Pre-Hispanic Bath treatment is an abbreviated 30 minutes version. * Aromatherapy & Reflexology - Those seeking a more traditional spa experience to provide a sense of rejuvenation two great holistic options include the Pindasweda Herbal Massage which uses aromatherapy to awaken the senses and the Reflexology foot massage. The 80-minute herbal aromatic massage, Pindasweda, uses steamed herbs from a special healing garden applied in a kneading action to heal muscle tension and stiffness, while the body absorbs the heat and herbs to reduce aches and pains and increase the lymphatic drainage and condition of the skin. The reflexology foot massage, 30 minutes, energizes the body by using a massage technique that uses pressure points corresponding to specific body parts and improves circulation and releases blocked energy throughout the entire body. * Couples Retreat - Couples looking for amorous start to 2015 or a special Valentine's Day treat, the 50 or 80 minute Romantic Wellness for Two allows couples to transform their suite into a spa sanctuary while enjoying a couples massage followed by a romantic bath while sipping champagne and indulging in chocolate covered strawberries. Additionally, the one-to-one massage class is a nice treatment for couples to enjoy that not only provides them with a great massage but the skills to continue massaging one another long after their visit to Solmar, providing relaxation for years to come. These are just a sampling of the many offerings available through the Solmar Spa Collection.

TURTLES AT PLAYA GRANDE

Every Year Playa Grande witnesses this beautiful and magnificent event.

Enjoy these photos and visit Playa Grande for this memorable experience.

Sea water pool

The Playa Grande Spa is the pioneer of the thalassotherapy of Mexico including in the relaxing hydrotherapy circuit a Sea water Jacuzzi bringing the water directly from the Pacific Ocean known for being the world´s richest water.

 

Benefits of the sea water:

• The salt contained in the sea water helps remove toxins from the skin and acts as a natural exfoliator – it removes dead cells and encourages the production of the new ones.
• Sea water replenishes our skin with minerals. Magnesium in particular improves its hydration, as well as its overall appearance.
• One of the most important sea water health benefits lies in its ability to heal damaged and irritated skin.
• Sea water can reduce inflammation and help cure many skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema.
• It has great antiseptic properties, very useful in healing minor wounds, cuts, rashes and abrasions - salt and potassium chloride seem to be majorly responsible for these beneficial, mending effects.
• Improves skin texture, increases its elasticity and alleviates and heals many skin discomforts.
