Mayan Secret Spa
Mayan Secret Spa, located in the Claris Hotel & Spa, specifically in C/ de Pau Claris 150, was awarded by the World Luxury Spa Awards as Best Spa in a Historic Luxury Hotel in the World from 2018 to 2021 and 2022, and has been awarded with the Best Thematic Design in the World.
The spa is known for its Mayan aromas, rituals and treatments passed down from one generation to the next. Manuel De la Garza, originally from Mexico, puts his unique stamp on this marvellous space, making it an exclusive Spa.
Access to the Spa is allowed only to clients who book a treatment and all kinds of treatments are performed: facials, Mayan-style massages and body treatments, among many others.
The space has a pre-Hispanic sauna of handcrafted construction in which volcanic stones combine with the heat by adding water with a touch of aromatic medicinal herbs, thus producing steam. In addition, choosing between massages, rituals and packs you will have free access to the temazcal sauna and the shower of sensations with chromotherapy to finish off the experience. No wonder it is, for many, the best spa in Barcelona.
