Casa Velas (www.hotelcasavelas.com) in Puerto Vallarta has debuted a spa menu that embraces the restorative properties of precious stones. The menu comprises five jewel-themed treatment collections: onyx, jade, amethyst, ruby and diamond.
The Onyx Collection consists of treatments like the Cure Facial and new Body Beauty In-Fusion that help separate and release mental stress from the body and promote emotional well-being.
The Jade Collection represents perfection and nobility. For example, the Quiro-Golf Four Hands Massage must have perfect coordination between two therapists with golf balls to stimulate susceptibility so that feelings of nobility and wealth emerge.
A prenatal Tenderness Massage and Shia-Thai Oriental healing massage are part of the Amethyst Collection, which represents the connection between mind, body and soul that leads to humility.
A new Neuro-Aroma Candle Massage is one of the treatments in the Ruby Collection, which focuses in which treatments use fire to bring about passion, strength and rejuvenation.
Diamond is the magic stone that has inner beauty reflected in outer beauty. In the collection, a signature Casa Velas Herb Ritual sharpens one's senses through a spiral healing technique based on herb aromatic compresses, such as orange peel, cloves, bay leaf, and horsetail, which results in the removal of dead skin cells, releasing toxins and ensuring deep relaxation.
The menu complements two wellness suites that were unveiled in 2015. The suites are duplexes, each with a personal Wellness Concierge to provide counsel on a wide variety of spa treatments. In-suite amenities include a yoga mat, dumbbells, resistance bands, an exercise bike, a private plunge pool and a Jacuzzi.
Wellness Suite rates start at $386 per person per night based on double occupancy.
