Ya’ax Che Spa | Well-Being the Mayan Way
The name Ya’ax Che means La Ceiba, the Mayan tree of life. This tree can be found in the center of the world – its roots penetrate the infra-world, its trunk rests on the Earth, and its highest branches hold up the sky. Its branches represent five points of reference: the East is the sun; the North is the feminine; the South is the masculine; the West is the negative; and the center represents the human being.
Ya’ax Che Spas are located inside each of our hotels, offering guests the opportunity to experience wellness and relaxation in a traditional atmosphere. Designed to reestablish balance with nature of the mind, body, and spirit, our treatments combine ancestral Mayan wisdom with advanced body health techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
The philosophy of YA’AX CHE SPA is based on the Mayan belief that as human beings, we are connected to everything that surrounds us: the universe, our fellow men, and nature. Ya’ax Che Spa will help you rediscover this balance in the center of your universe.
Spa treatments are enriched by applying elements of nature with indigenous ingredients, such as lemon grass, lime, jasmine, aloe, cacao, sesame, ecological honey from the tropical jungle and flowers, to name a few, and the use of sacred sounds, herbal baths, quartz and other stones. The ancient knowledge of these rituals is combined with modern principles in treatments to renew energy and balance the physical, mental, and spiritual self.
Plan your winter vacation with Yucatan Holidays, and indulge yourself in one-of-a-kind spa treatments in Cancun or the Riviera Maya. The experience of luxury wellness is up to you.
Mexican Temazcal: A Pleasure at Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort
Linda Barnard, The Star’s online newspaper movie editor, had the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable purification experience. This “lover of saunas” with nine other people from different countries were indulged at Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort with the temazcal, a steam bath “combining the relaxing heat with an Aztec-Mayan ritual.” Being guided by a local shaman ─ “a healer, mystic and guide and a respected position among cultures around the world” ─ Linda and her companions spent a purifying evening with the “chance to become one with the universe inside.” After the temazcal session, they dipped into the chilly water of a cenote to finish with some tea and platters of fresh fruit. Don’t you wish to pamper yourself this way? Read the complete story of Linda Barnard in The Toronto Star’s website.
