Spa Makawé

The Makawe Spa invites guests to relax with a steam bath, plunge pool and six private exterior palm hut treatment rooms. The Hikuri ritual is the resort’s speciality. Guests may luxuriate in special sessions to pamper their skin after a day of sun, sea and sand.

As a haven amid the mountains, lulled by the ocean breeze blowing through the trees and framed by the deep blue that merges the sky with the sea, that is Makawé Spa.

Guests are peacefully transformed into a state of absolute calm at this Puerto Vallarta hotel. Recreating the soothing tranquility of a rainforest, the Makawé Spa offers complete relaxation within six secluded Asian-style indoor and outdoor palapa-style treatment areas, as well as a Zen-inspired steam room and plunge pool. Incorporating elements of nature’s precious gifts, treatments include the ancient rituals of Haramara and Hikuri Therapy and revitalizing remedies to repair the effects of the sun, sea and sand.
