Tucked away in a coconut grove on Akumal’s most tranquil stretch of shoreline sits Budha Gardens, a Day Spa that matches the natural splendor of its surroundings by employing only the finest natural products and an expert staff. Imagine the deeply relaxing strokes of the masseuse penetrating your muscles with the rhythm of the waves that roll onto the beach just feet away. But massaging is only the beginning of the offerings at Budha Gardens, where the natural beauty of the Caribbean is carefully accentuated with incense and music that compliment the sounds and smells of beach. The spa offers you the opportunity to pamper every part of your body from your head, with rejuvenating facials, to your toes, with a masterful pedicure.
Massage
The knowledge of the Budha Gardens staff is as deep as it is diverse. The masseuses combine Swedish techniques with Thai Stretches, acupressure, and reflexology for a massage that is both relaxing and therapeutic, putting the mind at ease while ridding the body of tension and impurities. Massages are available in lengths of 30, 60, and 90 minutes, and the staff’s mastery of their art allows them to tailor a session specifically to your body and its needs.
Facial
The radiant sunshine of Riviera Maya days can be hard on the delicate skin of your face, but the Japanese style facial at Budha Gardens will leave your skin purified and hydrated. Gentle cleansers and natural moisturizing creams are applied with soothing strokes to release the tension from the skin. Enjoy a foot and cranial massage to relax your entire body while a Mayan Clay mask sets, firming the skin of your face and drawing out impurities.
Pedicure / Manicure
For a barefoot walk along the white sand beach that borders Budha Gardens, your feet should be at their best. While they soak and soften in a warm Jacuzzi footbath filled with fresh flowers, you enjoy a view of the turquoise water. While your feet are gently massaged, moisturizing and exfoliating salt scrub is applied. The nails and nail beds are groomed to perfection before a Pumice stick leaves the skin baby soft. For some local color, choose from a selection of Caribbean colored nail polishes that provide the finishing touch of your foot treatment experience.
Reflexology
The hands and feet contain nerve endings that correspond to every part in the body, nerve endings that can be stimulated through massage to improve circulation and the function of specific organs. From the condition of your feet and hands, the therapist can determine what parts of your body require special attention in the form of a deeply relaxing foot and hand massage.
Body Scrubs
Invigorating and exfoliating body treatments to replenish your skin are offered in a beautifully designed exterior garden. The staff will help you choose a natural scrub, such as Mango-Ginger Sugar or Bamboo Walnut, to compliment your skin type. For those who overindulged in sunshine, a Cooling Cucumber wrap with lavender oil delivers intense relief and re-hydration. For anyone who has participated in another kind of overindulgence, the Mayan Clay Wrap is designed to remove toxins and impurities from the body, leaving your fresh and rejuvenated, even after a long night. Each wrap and scrub is accompanied by a mini-facial, head massage, and a shampoo/conditioning treatment for head to toe rejuvenation.
