Grand Velas Riviera Maya Named Best of the Best Spa
Leading luxury travel network, Virtuoso®, along with its award-winning magazine VITUOSO LIFE, named Grand Velas Riviera Maya as the Best Spa within the prestigious ‘Best of the Best' Awards for 2010.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya was selected above other nominees as the very best in its category. At 89,000 square feet, The Spa at Grand Velas Riviera Maya is built amid the lush jungle that hugs the resort and boasts an organic style reflective of its Mexican surroundings. A cavernous lower level takes its inspiration from the region's underground water pools, or cenotes. A hand-hewn rock wall emerges from a winding chlorine-free pool that's outfitted with water-bubble beds, cascades and a gurgling volcanic geyser.

Other nominees in this category were Le Spa Metropole, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Vietnam; The Spa at La Reserve Ramatuelle, France; The Anantara Spa at Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea, Jordan; and To B. Wellbeing & Spa, Grand Hotel Quellenhoff & Spa Suites, Bad Ragaz, Switzerland.
