Beach vacations aren’t always about all-day activities and lively seaside fiestas. Sometimes, what you need is to re-centre, relax and reconnect with yourself. Here are our picks for the 5 best resorts offering a spa experience elevated by seaside locations.

1. Palmaïa, The House of Aïa (Playa Del Carmen, Mexico)

Choose a recharging beach holiday with a purpose when you stay at Palmaïa, The House of Aïa, Mexico’s premier, award-winning wellness and spa resort. Sacred rituals, holistic healing practices, and a predominantly plant-based cuisine promise a retreat for your mind, body and soul with a focus on sustainability.

Immerse yourself in mindful, sensorial, soul and body classes offered as part of the Architects of Life program, or pamper yourself at Atlantis – Spa in the Jungle. Plus, your beach-side spa wellness holiday comes shrouded in luxury—indulge in oceanfront suites and gourmet dining provided by chefs trained at Michelin starred restaurants. Palmaïa is the only place where Progressive Wellness becomes a lifestyle.

2. Sandals® Emerald Bay (Great Exuma, the Bahamas)

Take in the incomparable views of The Exumas from the luxurious Sandals Emerald Bay. Beyond its exquisite sophistication, this adults-only retreat invites you to put your wellness first at its Red Lane® Spa.

The spa even has its own skincare line to bring home some of those delicious Caribbean scents.
