Pamper Yourself in Puerto Vallarta

Relax under a woven thatched roof furnished with décor that reflects a fusion Polynesian flavor, surrounded by a lagoon pool filled with Japanese Koi fish that swim among the lushly landscaped water gardens. All this and more awaits you at the full-service holistic Spa Grand at the Playa del Sol Grand resort situated on Flamingo Beach. Each of the three treatment rooms has a view of the serene lagoon and sounds of rushing water.

Two more spas exist at the Playa del Sol properties all in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. Centrally located on Los Muertos beach, the flagship Playa del Sol boasts the new Spa del Sol. Costa Sur property lies in a secluded portion of the bay about five minutes south of Puerto Vallarta and the old Romantic Zone with the Spa Costa Cur. The Spa Grand is the newest of these properties.

The mission at all three Playa del Sol Spas is to improve the physical and emotional well-being of each client in an atmosphere of total tranquility and harmony.

Unique massage treatments include four-handed "heaven and earth" massage and prenatal massage that concentrates on problem aspects of pregnancy (water retention, poor circulation, inflamed legs and lower back pain) and a bride's bath which deeply hydrates the body and includes exfoliation and a body mask.

Enjoy the therapeutic and relaxing benefits from their signature treatment, Land & Sea, performed right on the beach with the soothing sounds of the ocean and the soft sea breeze. Volcanic mud, the minerals of the ocean and a relaxing massage round out the experience. Other specialties include the "soft touches" treatment that uses a base of lavender or peach paraffin to create a soothing effect for irritated or sun burnt skin. The tired leg treatment helps blood circulation and relaxation with the application of volcanic mud that eliminates retension of liquids. {place pool photo here}
