“Leticia Ledesma, Le Blanc’s corporate treatment coordinator, implemented this new prehepatic ritual with copal cleansing and the taste of a local Mayan beverage. “More and more guests request cultural experiences, so we needed to create a new signature ritual,” said Mestre. The massage is complemented by an initial harmonization featuring copal aromas and the sound of a pre-Hispanic instrument, and ends with a traditional Mayan drink.

The ingredients are incorporated into the massage, allowing guests to customise and choose from a variety of oils, aromas, and techniques used to relax, revitalise and decompress the muscles. Balchè is a fermented drink, native to the Yucatan, that stems from the bark of a tree of the genus Lonchocarpus and honey. The spa also recently unveiled a new signature service: The Balchè Massage. The original sense of flow design was maintained, as well as all the special unexpected moments and rituals for the guests that are part of the Blanc Spa Experience.” The Gym equipment was changed to Technogym and Woodway treadmills. “For Blanc Spa, the efforts were concentrated on new floors, upgrading various equipment like massage beds and whirlpools, and adding thermal loungers, Digilocks and new lockers, a new spa boutique and lounge, and refreshing the general décor of the Spa. “Le Blanc Cancun opened more than 10 years ago, and with the birth of the new Spa Le Blanc Los Cabos, the hotel was in need of remodeling,” said Mestre. Mestre also worked on the spa’s renovation and new menu. Mestre has been the spa consultant for both Le Blanc Los Cabos and Le Blanc Cancun from the original spa concept and design, which includes 19 treatment rooms, an extensive hydrotherapy area, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna, herbal steam room, chromotherapy, sauna therapy and relaxation lounge.
