About the role

The therapist who blends Mayan heritage with contemporary bodywork. Playa's spa guests — particularly the European market — are drawn to treatments with genuine cultural grounding. The therapist who delivers a hot stone massage using locally sourced volcanic stones, and explains that the Maya used heated stones in healing ceremonies long before the modern spa industry was invented, has given the treatment a dimension of meaning that distinguishes it from a standard hotel massage.
