There's something magical about sharing a spa experience with your partner. At Sabila Spa, nestled within Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, couples discover more than just relaxation, they find a sanctuary where connection deepens and romance flourishes against the stunning backdrop of Baja California Sur.
Loreto isn't just another beach destination. This pristine coastal paradise, where the Sea of Cortez meets dramatic desert mountains, creates the perfect setting for couples seeking both adventure and tranquility. After days spent exploring the islands, kayaking turquoise waters, or simply soaking in the Mexican sun, there's no better way to unwind together than at Sabila Spa.
The spa's Romance treatments are specifically designed for couples who want to escape the everyday and rediscover what brought them together in the first place. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, or simply making time for each other, these experiences create lasting memories.
This signature 80-minute couples treatment begins the moment you step into Sabila Spa's serene atmosphere. The experience unfolds in carefully orchestrated stages, each designed to bring you closer together while melting away tension.
The Experience
Your journey starts with a full-body massage to relieve tension from head to toe. As skilled therapists work in harmony, you and your partner drift into relaxation side by side. The massage flows seamlessly into a soothing foot treatment, where warm compresses and expert techniques ease tired feet, particularly welcome after walking along Loreto's beautiful beaches.
The highlight comes with a private Jacuzzi session for two, set in a peaceful environment where you can simply be present with each other. This intimate moment allows the treatments to fully absorb while you enjoy quiet conversation or comfortable silence. The entire ritual is designed to last approximately 80 minutes, including the Jacuzzi time.
For couples seeking a more extensive spa journey, the 125-minute Ancestral Relaxation treatment offers a comprehensive wellness experience that cleanses, nourishes, and revitalizes both body and mind.
What to Expect
This holistic treatment draws inspiration from traditional healing practices, beginning with a rosemary and lemon balm body scrub that exfoliates and awakens the senses. The natural aromatherapy creates an immediate connection to Baja's botanical heritage.
Following the scrub, a purifying and toning herbal wrap envelops your body, allowing nutrient-rich ingredients to deeply penetrate while you relax. This is followed by a comprehensive massage incorporating herbal butter and warm herbal compresses—techniques that have been used for generations to promote healing and relaxation.
The experience continues with a mini firming facial featuring cucumber, refreshing the complexion and providing a moment of cooling relief. But the real treat comes at the end: a private hot tub soak for two, complete with a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries. It's romance and wellness perfectly intertwined.
What sets Sabila Spa apart isn't just the luxurious treatments, it's the setting and philosophy. The spa takes its name from the aloe vera plant (sábila in Spanish), known for its healing properties and abundance in the Baja region. This connection to local natural elements runs through every treatment.
The therapists at Sabila Spa understand that couples' spa experiences require a special touch. They coordinate timing perfectly, create a comfortable environment where both partners feel equally cared for, and respect the intimate nature of sharing these moments together.
Best Time to Book
Sabila Spa's couples treatments are popular, so book early, ideally when reserving your Villa del Palmar stay, or at least 2-4 weeks ahead during peak season. Mid-week appointments tend to be quieter and more serene.
What to Bring
The spa provides everything you need, including robes, slippers, and amenities. Simply arrive ready to relax. We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early to check in, change, and begin settling into the spa's tranquil atmosphere.
Enhancing Your Experience
Consider coordinating your spa visit with other romantic activities Loreto offers. An island tour on the Sea of Cortez, followed by a couples massage, creates an unforgettable day. Or start with a spa morning and finish with dinner at one of Villa del Palmar's restaurants.
Beyond the Treatment Room
The couples spa experience at Sabila extends beyond the scheduled treatments. Take time to enjoy the spa's relaxation areas together, sip herbal teas, or simply rest in the peaceful environment. Many couples find these unstructured moments just as valuable as the treatments themselves.
The resort's location at the Islands of Loreto provides the perfect backdrop for continued relaxation. After your spa experience, take a quiet walk along the beach, watch the sunset paint the mountains in golden light, or simply enjoy being together without the distractions of daily life.
Investing in Your Relationship
In today's busy world, couples often forget to prioritize quality time together. A spa experience isn't just about the physical benefits—though the improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and glowing skin are certainly welcome. It's about creating space for connection, removing distractions, and remembering why you chose each other.
The treatments at Sabila Spa facilitate this reconnection naturally. When you're both relaxed, present, and cared for, conversation flows more easily. Stress melts away. The simple act of sharing an experience focused entirely on wellness and pleasure reminds couples what it feels like to truly relax together.
Making Your Reservation
Sabila Spa's couples treatments are popular, especially during peak travel seasons and holidays like Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and major vacation periods. We strongly recommend booking your preferred treatment and time before you arrive at Villa del Palmar.
You can reserve your couples spa experience when booking your resort stay, or contact the spa directly to arrange your treatments. The staff are happy to answer questions about which experience might be best for you and your partner's needs.
A Gift That Keeps Giving
Many couples discover that the benefits of their Sabila Spa experience extend far beyond their time in Loreto. The relaxation techniques, the reminder to prioritize couple time, and the memory of complete tranquility together often inspire partners to maintain that sense of connection when they return home.
Whether you choose the intimate 80-minute Speciality for Him and Her or the comprehensive 125-minute Ancestral Relaxation for Two, you're giving yourselves more than a spa treatment. You're investing in your relationship, creating shared memories, and experiencing the healing power of truly relaxing together.
What should we wear to the spa? The spa provides plush robes and slippers for your comfort. For the treatments, you'll disrobe to your comfort level, and therapists are trained to ensure proper draping for privacy and warmth throughout the session. For the Jacuzzi portion, you can wear swimwear or enjoy it au naturel—it's your private space.
What if one partner wants a different pressure level during the massage? Each therapist works independently with their client, so you can each request your ideal pressure, from gentle and soothing to deep tissue. Don't hesitate to communicate during your treatment if you'd like any adjustments.
Is the Jacuzzi completely private? Yes, both couples treatments include time in a private Jacuzzi space designed specifically for two. It's your exclusive time together without interruption.
Should we book the 80-minute or 125-minute treatment? The 80-minute Speciality for Him and Her is perfect for couples who want a focused, rejuvenating experience that fits easily into a vacation day. The 125-minute Ancestral Relaxation for Two is ideal when you want a more comprehensive, transformative spa journey with additional body treatments and amenities. Consider your schedule, budget, and how much uninterrupted time you want together.
Can we add on additional services? Yes, Sabila Spa offers various enhancements and additional treatments. Speak with the spa staff about customizing your experience with add-ons like extended massage time, upgraded facials, or other specialty services.
What if we've never had a couples spa treatment before? First-timers are always welcome! The staff at Sabila Spa will guide you through the entire process, explaining what to expect and ensuring you feel comfortable every step of the way. Most couples find the experience easier and more enjoyable than they anticipated.
How far in advance should we book? During peak seasons (winter months, holidays, and school vacation periods), book at least 2-4 weeks in advance. During quieter times, a few days' notice is usually sufficient, though earlier booking ensures you get your preferred time slot.
What if one of us has a health condition or injury? Always inform the spa staff and your therapist about any health conditions, injuries, surgeries, or areas that need special attention. They can modify treatments to ensure both safety and comfort. Certain conditions may require clearance from a physician before receiving spa services.
What's included in the treatment price? Your treatment price includes the specified services (massage, body treatments, facials, etc.), use of spa facilities, robes and slippers, and for the Ancestral Relaxation treatment, the sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries.
