It's a jungle out there....
Okay Los Angeles spa trekkers, here’s a trip of a lifetime to consider next time you feel like trying some exotic, outside the box rejuvenation. We’re talking an amazing sanctuary hidden deep in the jungles of Belize (a popular destination for many Angelenos, with plenty of flights available out of LAX available at www.expedia.com).
It''s Maruba Resort Jungle Spa, located in Maskall Village, a favorite retreat of Los Angeles celebrities, business people and even honeymooners who go to get, well, jungle-ized.
The ultra-unique, quasi-quirky spa and boutique hotel, nestled in the lush Belize rain forest, is truly like no other. The world's first jungle spa, it exudes an earthy, luxurious style.
"We like to say that Maruba was inspired by heaven," says Franziska Nicholson director of resort design events marketing sales and reservations. "We've gone out of our way to create an environment where our guests feel as if everyday problems have melted away from the moment they walk onto the grounds. Many describe it as a sense of peace, even euphoria."
Make that euphoria with an ethno twist. Not your everyday luxury spa, Maruba offers a one-of-a-kind blend of various Mayan, Creole, and African designs to complement the natural jungle setting, which is enhanced by exotic fauna and flora.
Besides the primordial jungle surroundings, all rooms and suites at Maruba are fully equipped with private baths, air conditioning, CD/DVD players, and other moderh touches. Each room reflects the unique design congruent with the hotel's "neo-primitive" jungle theme.
In addition to spa services, the resort hosts inviting swimming pools, a Japanese mineral bath, a restaurant, bar, meditation room, chess table, and an exercise room. Says Franziska, "Our Jungle Falls swimming pool provides cool relief in the daytime, and the Japanese tub will make evening star gazing an unforgettable experience."
In keeping with the theme, all treatments are done with natural products with the emphasis on ancient techniques that incorporate sustainable products from the proprietary Maruba Therapy® line and the surrounding jungle environment. "We specialize in a number of mud treatments using our all-natural Mood Muds®," says Franziska. The products in the Maruba Therapy ® line are also for sale, along with a variety of accessories and gift packages, so visitors can take a little bit of the jungle home with them. Like all commerical spas, Maruba markets products on property or the Internet at: www.Marubatherapy.com
More than just a luxurious pampering spot, Maruba offers other adventures such as , horseback riding and a special Medicinal Jungle Hikes, trips to Mayan ruins and wildlife sanctuaries, sport fishing excursions, photo safaris and jungle riverboat or canoe.
