The Best Spas And Wellness Centres In Guatemala

Everyone likes to pamper themselves on occasion, and a spa day is a great way to do so. Here are some of the best places to relax and unwind in Guatemala.

La Reunion

Spa

This golf course and spa resort is set in spectacular surroundings about 30 minutes from Antigua. Play a round on the slopes of the volcano and then retire to the spa for a massage, or book an in-room treatment. It’s the perfect combination of facilities, and the service is topnotch.

Le Petit Spa

Spa

If you’re in Guatemala City, the best spa to visit is Le Petit Spa. It’s in Zone 10, close to Oakland Mall and most of the business hotels, and you can get a huge number of treatments, from simple massages to ultrasound sessions designed to reduce body fat.

San Marcos Holistic Cottage

Over on the shores of Lake Atitlan, the small village of San Marcos has become known as a popular spot for wellness retreats. There is a distinct hippy feel to the village, and the Holistic Cottage is a top choice for relaxation. You can get reiki, kinesiology and creative energy work as well as massages, or study any of these disciplines with instructors.

Shen

Head to Antigua Guatemala to visit this renowned spa and massage centre. Reflexology is a focus, and there are other massages on offer as well as body peels and caffeine therapy. Shen is a day facility, so you’ll have to book accommodation elsewhere in Antigua.

Spa Intercontinental Guatemala

Spa

The luxury Intercontinental Hotel in Guatemala City is found in the heart of Zone 10, and boasts a spa as well as its many other amenities. Here you can enjoy hydrotherapy, massages, sauna and steam baths. It’s not as specialised as some others on this list, but it’s a great luxury option.

Healing Hands

Spa

Run by a US-trained and licensed physiotherapist, Healing Hands is a top choice for anyone looking for massage therapy, physical therapy and spa therapy in Antigua. Check out the website to find out more about the different packages that are available.
