Temazcal Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel 5*
Connection and Wellness in the Riviera Maya
The Blue Diamond Spa invites you to experience the temazcal, an ancient ritual that promotes physical and emotional renewal. Over approximately two hours, a group of up to 12 people is guided by a shaman, who leads participants on a journey of introspection and balance through chants, sounds, and purification techniques.
Temazcal
This pre-Hispanic steam bath is designed for those seeking well-being through the purification of body and mind. Its dome-shaped structure symbolizes the mother’s womb, while its interior connects with the earth, creating a space for retreat and renewal.

Facilities
Constructed from stone with a single entrance, the temazcal is an enclosed space where volcanic stones, known as "grandmother stones," are placed after being heated over an open flame. When these stones come into contact with water and aromatic herbs, they produce steam, intensifying the relaxation experience and enhancing sensory awareness.
Before the Ceremony
Prior to the ceremony, the shaman performs a copal smoke cleansing to prepare participants for the experience. During the ritual, guided by sacred songs and instrumental sounds, the temazcal door is opened four times to introduce new hot stones, maintaining the temperature and intensity of the experience.
After the Ceremony
Upon completing the ritual, participants feel a profound sense of renewal. The combination of heat and steam helps clear the airways, cleanse the skin, and relax the muscles. On an emotional level, the temazcal encourages introspection, allowing tensions to be released and restoring the balance between body and mind.
