If you are looking for pampering with a capital P, then head to Mexico, to stay at one of the most affordable spas around. NY1’s Valarie D’Elia filed the following Travel with Val report.
Ixtapan Spa, Hotel and Golf Resort is located 65 miles southwest of Mexico City in the 75 degree year-round rapture of the surrounding Sierra Madre mountains.
At 5400 feet above sea level, this 220- room resort is heralded as one of the cheapest in the world, and you'll be able to figure that out once you do the math, with or without a tape measure.
What's great about this place is the sheer number of spa treatments they throw in. Take the weeklong trip for instance, and you will get 21 spa treatments, including massages and facials, averaging 50 minutes each. On a month-long stay, it's more than 100.
No matter how long you stay, your visit will also include all meals and most beverages, several pilates, yoga and fitness classes, as well as free golf and tennis lessons.
Week long, all-inclusive stays from now through March 27th are discounted by 15 percent – so a seven-night Spa Classic package is $999 per person, based on double occupancy. Single occupancy is $1,182.00.
If you have more time to burn, you can get 10 percent off monthly rates through March 27th, costing $3,340 based on double occupancy, $4,178 for single occupancy.
The monthly package includes round-trip airport transfers, which otherwise cost $340, for up to four people from Mexico City. Transfer from Toluca is $170. There is also a local bus from Mexico City airport.
There are a few extras you will pay for, including laundry, alcoholic drinks, soda, taxes and gratuities.
You can fly to Mexico City non-stop from New York, which is a two-hour transfer to the spa, or connect with an overnight in Houston and fly into Toluca, which is a 90-minute transfer.
