Chocolates, Anyone?

Tulum’s Maya spa adds new therapies
using the cocoa bean from southern Mexico’s Theobroma tree

Maya Spa, EcoTulum's holistic healing center, offers a zero calorie way to indulge in the sinful seduction of chocolate with new therapies featuring the cacao bean. Tulum is located just one hour south of resort playground Cancun.

Chocolate's aphrodisiac properties have given it a sexy reputation, but the cacao bean has been used for centuries by ancient cultures for its healing properties. Now the Maya Spa has added chocolate-based therapy to their other traditional Mayan treatments to lift the spirits and give a feeling of total indulgence without the guilt.

Maya Spa's cacao bean exfoliation and cacao butter massage bring new meaning to the term “chocolate therapy” by tapping into the natural relaxing, hydrating, anti-stress and antioxidant powers of cacao beans from the Theobroma tree which grow in the southern jungles of Chiapas, Mexico.

Cacao beans contain phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins, which trigger the production of mood enhancing endorphins. These in turn stimulate the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter associated with happiness and feelings of positive well-being.

Maya Spa is known for its extensive holistic spa menu, featuring innovative therapies that address total body, mind and spirit wellness. The spa’s unique treatments include Mayan clay massages, healing massages, energy cleansings, crystal therapy, floatation chamber, and the ancient temezcal sweat lodge purification rite. These treatments harmonize traditional Mayan healing methods with modern Western spa services.
