The Ambiance

The Spa at Las Ventanas offers a relaxed, pampered, garden ambiance of flowers, herbs and plants, with the soothing sounds of the surf of the Sea of Cortez. In a free-flowing layout, both men and women enjoy separate areas to change, receive treatments and then relax post-treatment.

The Facilities

The eight treatment rooms feature sliding cedar doors that may be opened onto a private garden and stereo systems with headphones so guests can immerse themselves in sound therapy listening to their favorite music. Treatment rooms also feature Environmental Therapy:  the clay tile floors have actual footprints of roosters, ducks, foxes, Cimarron goats and Chihuahuas. The animals were brought in to walk across the wet tiles to create the prints.  Guests enjoy a patio lounge area with plush chaise lounges, state-of-the art hydrotherapy tubs, and separate courtyards for men and women offering sauna, steam, whirlpool and cold plunge.

Pavilion on the Sand:  Guests can also enjoy salt glow, loofah, sun-lover therapies and other treatments literally at the water's edge with the 12' X 8' pavilion on the sand.  The pavilion is made of a cool, sheer-weave fabric offering excellent ventilation and ocean views yet complete privacy because guests can see out out but people can't see in. With the pavilion, the therapeutic ambiance and sounds of the sea are more intensely incorporated into the spa experience. Cooling misters can be kept on throughout the treatment or turned on as desired.  At night, guests can enjoy seaside massages by torch light.
