Babymoon at Las Ventanas

Those who like to celebrate such landmarks at a spa as birthdays, honeymoons, and anniversary escapes can now celebrate pregnancy and post-natal passages of life as well. Las Ventanas in Baja, Mexico, has created a brand new program, Babymoon. 

This four-night package includes round-trip airport transfers from the Cabo San Lucas Airport and a Silver Baby Spoon & Fork set by Tane, one of Mexico’s premier silversmiths. Moms-to-be first meet with the Spa Concierge, who creates a personalized spa experience for them based on their personal needs including, of course, aches and sensitivities. Expecting mothers next have an eighty-minute soothing “Mommy Beautiful Massage,” which includes a body gommage and a cooling anti-fatigue leg compress/foot treatment followed by a comforting massage. A silky hand beautifying spa manicure is next. And for moms who crave more, a private yoga instructor and personal trainer can create a specially-tailored individual pregnant-mom program. 

Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires (Lenox, MA), Centre for Well-Being at the Phoenician (Scottsdale, AZ), Spa Ojai (Ojai, CA), Miraval (Catalina, AZ), and El Monte Sagrado (Taos, NM) all offer prenatal services and packages.
