Personalization and Holistic Well-being

Our goal is to transform the idea of a treatment into a complete experience. At Presence Spa, the focus is on being present and living in the moment. That’s why the treatment rooms have meaningful names, such as “Happiness.” From the very first moment, visitors experience a complete journey: how they are received, guided, and treated. Every detail matters, from the lighting and aromatic candles to the relaxing music. Additionally, many of the spaces include tubs, allowing visitors to further unwind after a massage.

Connection with Nature

The connection with nature has been carefully prioritized in the design. The rooms are oriented to allow natural light and the soft sound of rain, creating a relaxing and serene atmosphere. Furthermore, the gardens and restaurant terraces offer a green and peaceful environment, enveloping visitors in an oasis of tranquility. This approach, blending the indoors with the outdoors, enriches the visitor experience. In the end, it promotes a sense of holistic well-being, helping to connect body and mind with natural elements.

"Today, many people lead busy and stressful lives. It is crucial to take a pause to disconnect and find well-being, even if only temporarily. Spaces like this spa allow for processing thoughts and emotions, providing a moment of relaxation and growth. Personally, meditation and massages are essential for my peace of mind. I invite you to enjoy this unique spa, the largest urban resort in Central America."
