Wild at heart, gentle at soul: The magic of the new Jungle Kids’ Spa

Imagine a sanctuary where the vibrant pulse of the Mayan jungle meets the serene whisper of world-class wellness—designed exclusively for the world’s most imaginative travelers. At Grand Velas Riviera Maya, the definition of family pampering has evolved with the debut of the Jungle Kids’ Spa, a whimsical refuge where children ages 5 to 12 can embark on their very own journey of self-care.

An immersive natural sanctuary

Step inside, and the outside world fades into a lush palette of emerald greens and deep sapphire blues. This isn’t just a spa; it’s an indoor ecosystem designed to soothe young spirits. Murals depicting the vibrant flora of the Yucatan Peninsula adorn the walls, while ambient nature sounds transport guests deep into a peaceful forest. From the moment they are greeted by Pancho, the resort’s playful monkey mascot, children understand that this is a place where relaxation and play coexist in perfect harmony.

Curated rituals for little explorers

The treatment menu at the Jungle Kids’ Spa is as thoughtful as it is fun, featuring services tailored specifically to the delicate needs of younger skin and active bodies.

• The wellness journey: Young guests can choose from the Sweet Dreams Massage, focusing on the head and back, or the Chill Out Foot Massage, which pairs pressure point therapy with scented scrubs.
• Fresh faces: Specialized facials like the Purely Degunked (for deep cleansing) and the Hydration Cascade ensure a glow as bright as the Caribbean sun.
• A touch of sparkle: The experience continues at the styling stations, where Berry Good manicures and the signature Fairy Dust Wash & Style turn pampering into a playful transformation.

Treats, celebrations, and SPARTIES

Wellness at Grand Velas Riviera Maya is a holistic experience that includes the palate. After their treatments, children can enjoy “guilt-free” treats, including colorful, nutrient-dense drinks and healthy cupcakes.

For those traveling with a “squad,” the spa introduces SPARTY experiences. Whether celebrating a birthday or a milestone, these group experiences—featuring facials and massages—allow friends to bond over a shared day of luxury, creating memories that last far beyond the vacation.

Every young guest receives a FarmHouse Fresh product kit to take home, allowing the wellness journey to continue in their own bathroom. But there is a deeper lesson here, these eco-friendly products are part of a mission that supports animal rescues. Through this partnership, children learn that self-care is not just about feeling good—it’s about doing good, fostering a sense of compassion and environmental responsibility from a young age.

A new era of family wellness

Grand Velas Riviera Maya continues to lead the way in luxury family travel by proving that wellness isn’t just for adults. The Jungle Kids’ Spa is more than a salon; it is a gateway to creativity, education, and tranquility.

In this magical jungle refuge, the next generation of travelers is discovering that taking care of oneself is the greatest adventure of all.
