The Alvadora Spa at Royal Palms Resort is a quaint, Mediterranean-style spa. It features an open-air design, and 8 beautiful treatment rooms with private outdoor gardens - and that's just the building. The treatments here range from soaks in a bath of grape seeds and herbs, to floating in the Watsu pool, Fango mud wraps, and vino therapy facials, which use grape leaf extract to moisturize parched skin. Spa guests can enjoy tai chi, yoga, meditation, and Pilates classes in the 24-hour fitness center, or indulge the signature Acqua Dolce Villa for two, where couples can enjoy water therapies, like the Watsu pool, for special in-water massages that you won't want to miss.
Nestled amongst exotic palms, citrus trees, unique cacti, and flowering shrubs, the Alvadora Spa at the Royal Palms boasts 119 beautiful casitas filled with European antiques and artifacts. The luxury doesn't end here though! Extend the decadent experience, and unwind with a Renaissance Massage with Footbath and a soothing cup of tea, or enjoy an Orange Blossom Body Buff which will uplift you with its sweet scent of neroli. Guests can choose from 60 or 90 minute facials, which include hand-and-arm massages with warm mitts and/or foot massage, warm booties, and other extras if you go for the longer treatment. Don't forget to try one of the exercise classes, offered here during high season, and be sure to check out the views from the Spa Terrace rooms. Great, hand-selected Mediterranean cuisine is available at T. Cook's for hungry spa goers to munch.
