On the heels of its grand opening last summer, The Villa Group’s Desert Spa has introduced a series of packages for 2008. The largest and most elaborate facility in the entire state of Baja California and the Cabo San Lucas destination, the 31,000 sq. ft. facility is the newest addition to The Villa Group’s roster of world-class amenities at its private enclave of suite-style resorts in Cabo. In addition to Villa del Arco, the Desert Spa also accommodates guests at Villa La Estancia and Villa del Palmar in an exclusive setting that fronts El Médano Beach.
Boasting a stunning array of treatments and specialties, the three-level spa is certain to please the most discriminating of clientele. “The Desert Spa has been designed to offer the ultimate experience through its tasteful design, upscale menu of treatments, state-of-the-art services and tranquil atmosphere,” noted Ricardo Orozco, Corporate Director for The Villa Group in Cabo San Lucas. “We have received very favorable response from our guests who have indulged in the treatments available at this elegant new facility.”
Designed in Mexican hacienda style, the Desert Spa insets into Los Cabos’ timeless merger of desert and sea by complementing its natural setting with earthy tones, ample natural light, and the scents and flavors of Baja. Showcasing Baja’s largest wet area, the spa’s hydrotherapy centers for men and women each include a spacious Jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, cold pressure showers, body temperature pool, steam room and sauna.
In addition, 17 treatment rooms, two exclusive VIP suites with private Jacuzzi and shower, a full-service beauty salon and extensive menu of exotic treatment services set the stage for the Desert Spa to serve as a haven for health, beauty, decompression and rejuvenation.
Using a line of desert-inspired products created exclusively for the Desert Spa, therapists wrap, bath and pamper guests with extracts of agave, lime, cactus, melon and vanilla. By blending fruit and herb extracts native to the Baja California area, the Desert Spa’s natural body products have been selectively developed specifically for the restorative and nutritive powers they possess as well as for the enjoyment of the guests.
“Our spa director, François Cimon-Kingsley, has given utmost attention to detail at every level to assure that the Desert Spa is among the top facilities in Cabo San Lucas,” Orozco added. “We feel that our guests will find the service and atmosphere will exceed their expectations.”
Those on the fast track to a healthier lifestyle can get into gear at Villa del Arco’s fitness center. The 4,500 sq. ft. fitness center features seven treadmills, four elliptical bikes, three stationary bikes, 10 strength training stations, a multi-purpose station, four free weight stations, a yoga/pilates studio with private classes, lockers and showers.
Fitness center use is complimentary for all Villa del Arco timeshare owners and guests staying on the all-inclusive plan. European plan hotel guests at Villa del Palmar, Villa La Estancia and Villa del Arco enjoy unlimited use of the fitness center for $10 a day.
Fitness center hours of operation are Monday to Saturday from 7:00am – 9:00pm and Sunday from 7:00am – 8:00pm. The Desert Spa is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00am – 9:00pm and from 8:00am – 8:00pm on Sunday.
