7 Incredible Masseuses in Playa Del Carmen That Will Make You Feel like a Pampered Goddess.

What could scream “relaxing vacation in paradise” more than a massage?

Letting the world melt into an abyss of essential oils and masterful hands is anyone’s idea of relaxation. However, sometimes having a massage isn’t just a want, it’s a need.

Too much partying last night? Back not feeling so great after sleeping in a hotel bed? Yesterday’s snorkeling escapades got you feeling a little stiff?

All of these things can put a bit of a dent in your vacation, but can easily be fixed with a masterful massage.

Having said all of that, massages are a very personal thing. People know what they like and have very different needs from a masseuse and not all massage places are created equally.

If you’re looking for your perfect massage while in Playa del Carmen then you’re in luck. Playa has plenty of amazing Spas, Wellness Centres, Hotels and beach places to choose from.

Many massage places in Playa del Carmen also combine traditional Mayan or Aztec techniques into their massages, taking the whole experience to an entirely new level.

Inti Beach is one of the best places to kick back, relax and enjoy a fully immersive massage.

Best Massage 

Calle 14 & The Beach

This is where the locals go.

If you ask any expat where they get their massages done, Best Massage will be the answer.

The reason? The staff is friendly, the prices are low, the work is amazing, and to top it all off, your massage takes place right in front of the ocean.

This massage place can be a little hard to spot, as it’s a no frills palapa style structure sitting just on the edge of the beach, but it’s worth a quick search.

If you truly want the best of the best, ask for Lily or Vanessa, Best Massage’s two-star Masseuses, but be sure to learn the words ‘softer’ and ‘harder’ in Spanish, as these girls don’t speak any English.
