"Ocean views and a secluded beach are the backdrop for this resort, where the spa features seven treatment rooms, sauna, whirlpool, and outdoor hydrotherapy pool. Treatments influenced by the ancient Huichol culture, the indigenous people of the region, include the temazcal experience, a purification ritual that begins with a cleansing by a shaman before each guest enters the temazcal, a dome-shaped stone structure. An herbal steam, chanting, and meditation are followed by a relaxing swim in the secluded spa pool." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
