Spas in Guatemala

If you’re traveling in Guatemala and want to treat yourself, there are lots of spas where you can do so.

One of the best choices in Guatemala City is Le Petit Spa in zone 10, near Oakland Mall. There is a huge range of treatments available, including ultrasound sessions that promise to reduce body fat. It’s also worth checking out the spa at the InterContinental Guatemala hotel in zone 10, which also has sauna and steam baths alongside massages.

Outside the city near Pacaya Volcano is Santa Teresita Hotel and Spa, which has thermal baths with waters from the volcano. It’s a great place to stop off on the way back to the airport.

Over in Lake Atitlan is San Marcos Holistic Cottage, which offers reiki, massages and kinesiology alongside more new age treatments such as creative energy work.

If you’re in Antigua, Guatemala, Shen is a spa that focuses on reflexology. Another top spot is Healing Hands, run by a U.S.-trained physiotherapist.

Outside Antigua is the famous La Reunion golf course and spa complex. A favorite with wealthy Guatemalans from the capital, this luxurious resort offers a full range of spa treatments to help you relax after a round of golf.
