Looking for a refreshing twist to a spa day? At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, the new Fire & Ice treatment uses enzymes from the carnivorous plant Drosera ramentacea—native to Madagascar, Botswana and South Africa—to create a sensorial mask that alternates cooling menthol with warming phases. The formulation combines plant spores with menthol and other carefully selected ingredients to create tingling and warming sensations on the skin that work in stages to stimulate circulation and promote nourishment.
The treatment begins with a calming ritual of essential oils applied to the body’s natural pressure points, followed by a full-body exfoliation to prepare the skin. Hot and cold therapies are then used in sequence to boost blood flow and invigorate tissue, while targeted actives help support skin health. The protocol features products from the Italian professional beauty brand Vagheggi, and concludes with a soothing massage that incorporates aromatic essential oils and heated volcanic diorite stones to relax muscles and seal in moisture.
To extend the wellness experience, guests can book one of the resort’s new 1,750-square-foot Wellness Suites. Each suite includes a personal Spa Concierge and an Alchimia Apothecary Aromatherapy Kit offering a curated selection of calming scents such as lavender, tangerine and myrrh. A built-in Vitamin C Sprinkler provides an on-demand mist infused with vitamin C essential oil to envelop the body in an antioxidant-rich atmosphere.
Wellness Suites are also equipped with fitness amenities for a balanced stay. The suite inventory includes a yoga mat, dumbbells, resistance bands and a Life Fitness Activate Series recumbent lifecycle exercise bike, allowing guests to continue their fitness routines in private. Each suite booking includes a personal training session plus a massage, ensuring a custom program that blends physical activity with restorative spa care.
The Fire & Ice treatment and Wellness Suites are designed for travelers seeking a sensory, results-oriented spa experience that combines botanical actives, thermal contrast therapies and personalized wellness services in a luxurious setting.
