TEMAZCAL:
A unique source of spiritual and physical healing. Herb-infused water is poured over heated volcanic rocks to extract toxins from the body and enhance energy flow from within. The Maya Temazcal is similar to a North American Indian sweat lodge where heated volcanic rocks are doused with herb infused water to create aromatic and healing steam. Offered at dusk, this ritualistic treatment weaves together ancient traditions, chants and meditation. The body is nourished during the treatment, using fruit and enriched mineral mud. After the sun sets, guests are taken to the sea for a cool cleansing plunge. This experience leaves an overall feeling of cleanliness, calm and inner peace.

KINAN SPA:
Kinan is the Mayan word for the healing energy of the sun. Similar to the Asian concept of Chi, Kinan is also used to refer to an individual’s energy. The mission is to help you transform and unlock your inner energy and spirit. Kinan Spa is a healing sanctuary that offers a full range of services in unique environments ranging from ultimate luxury couple suites to open-air massage palapas. Do yoga on the roof top palapa and experience the 360 degree view of Maroma’s dual ecosystems.

Handcrafted by the same family of Mayan stonemasons that have been lovingly creating Maroma for over three decades, the 7000 square foot Kinan Spa was designed based on Maya sacred geometry. These principles of astrological alignment, ratios and energy channels give Kinan Spa its spiritual essence.

Each building, treatment room and waterfall has been aligned to the stars to ensure positive energy flow so the body, mind and spirit are in harmony. The treatment rooms point directly east to west representing the balance of the day and night. The massage beds are placed so guests’ heads are at the west looking towards the east - representing new beginnings; and the relaxation room is pointing north - representing earth and grounding.

Many of the treatments offered at Kinan are based on ancient Mayan healing. Some of the services will not be found any where else in this world.
