The sense of privacy and peace that permeates each of its stylishly appointed rooms invites guests to leave the stress of everyday life behind.

The spa’s professional team, which includes a surgeon, offers an extensive range of therapies based on each patient’s individual needs. The unique Madero massage, for example, offers a new physical sensation like no other.
