Java & Lilies

Integrating the soothing properties of water lilies and the powerful natural enzymes found in coffee, the Apuane Spa at the Four Seasons Punta Mita in Nayarit, Mexico, has launched new treatments designed for pre- and post-beach splendor. Coffee, which has been used for years as a topical treatment in Hawaii and Bali, is now being sourced for its buzz. The caffeine in the fifty-minute Mexican Green Coffee Slimming Wrap acts to draw excess fluids from tissue, helping to temporarily create a more toned appearance. After a day spent beneath the Mexican sun listening to the rhythmic splash of waves against the sandy shore, guests can indulge in a cooling Water Lily Body Wrap. Designed to provide relief to sensitive, over-exposed skin, the treatment begins with a cool-down period to help decrease overall body temperature. A chilled wrap follows, along with an application of rich gel to replenish and restore your skin's moisture content. Pure paradise. For more information visit www.fourseasons.com/puntamita
