SE Spa at Grand Velas Riviera Maya offers a unique Xkalim Mayan Gourd Massage. The treatment (80 min / $342 USD) begins with a traditional Mayan blessing honoring the elements – water, wind, fire, and earth. The therapist then uses different sizes of calabash gourds to massage every muscle, applying increased pressure to reflexology points and releasing all tension.

The gourds, one of the world’s first cultivated plants grown not primarily for food but for use as containers, collect everything that does not belong, renewing your energy. Before moving from the back, the therapist performs a traditional sweep of the body with alcohol on a bouquet of herb-of-grace (or common rue). The therapist continues with the gourd massage on the front of the arms and legs before massaging the face and head to activate one’s vital energy, called CHI.
