The lowdown Mayan-inspired wellness in a tropical paradise.

Best for Wellness buffs seeking the ultimate restorativ­e escape. At this luxury enclave of 40 deluxe casitas tucked in 750 acres of tropical jungle, ancient Mayan culture and mysticism are woven into every aspect of Chablé Resort & Spa. Each standalone villa has its own pool, open-air shower and outdoor living room with pure cotton hammocks. The interiors are crafted from warm wood and stone with the original 19th-century hacienda walls left untouched, adding a sense of place and history. The real star of the show is its spa with an epic offering of Mayan-inspired treatments including a three-hour Signature Ritual session, which draws on elements of traditiona­l Mayan ceremony to offer a healing journey from purifying and de-stressing to heart-opening and rhythmic exploratio­n. What makes it extra-special? The spa has its very own cenote – a well full of sacred natural caves. In addition to the spa’s nine treatment rooms, there’s a salt cabin and floatarium. When you’re ready to kick back in the evening, pay a visit to the expansive cellar with the world’s largest private tequila collection. So if you don’t know your blanco from your añejo, you will by the end of your stay!
