Most Mexico City itineraries are packed to the brim with museums, historical sites, taco tours, and market visits. And for good reason, Mexico City is home to some of the most incredible history and food that you won’t want to miss while you’re here.
But itineraries like this often leave me feeling ready for a vacation from my vacation at the end. The older I get, the more I want to intersperse intentional relaxation within my action-packed itineraries.
A New Kind of Spa Concept in Mexico City
There are plenty of ways to enjoy a bit of luxury in Mexico City. There are boutique hotels across Polanco and the Centro Historico with stunning spas offering all levels of service, however, those who are looking for something more unique may be intrigued by LAXLAB.
Founded in 2017 in Mexico City, LAXLAB is not your average spa, nor is it a single location. There are locations all around the city, with each individual therapist having the autonomy to create their own unique space.
While most spas can feel the same, Laxlab has rooms that are inspired by the moon, nature, and even the ancient civilizations that you were visiting earlier that day. They offer a combination of Swedish massage, deep tissue work, reflexology, and other bodywork traditions.
What Makes LAXLAB Stand Out?
When you book a treatment with LAXLAB, you are booking directly with a therapist in the city who has their own space. This means the services can be designed entirely around you and what you want, and you don’t have to sit in a waiting room.
Don’t want to travel to a LAXLAB studio? No problem, they can come to you. Therapists around the city can bring their massage tables to your hotel or Airbnb, making it an even more relaxing experience after a long day of exploring the city.
If you want an even more indulgent experience, select locations around Mexico City also offer private jacuzzis and private pools, which are yours to enjoy for the duration of your spa appointment.
Enjoy LAXLAB Services Around Mexico
While the company began in Mexico City, they have expanded to other areas in Mexico. So if you find yourself looking for a spa experience in Cancun, Guadalajara, Querétaro, or Los Cabos, you can enjoy their services there as well.
How to Add it to Your Mexico City Itinerary
Whether you are visiting the city for a quick 3-day trip or you are planning to explore the city for a week or longer, grabbing an hour of relaxation can completely reset your adventure.
If you are only here for a 3-day trip, I highly recommend adding it to the final day of your itinerary. Spend two days eating, walking, and exploring, and finish off your adventure with a rejuvenating massage.
On a longer trip of a week or more, I would add it to the middle of your trip. If you have a spa appointment halfway through your action-packed itinerary, you’ll feel totally rejuvenated and ready to keep going for the rest of the trip.
Of course, it’s entirely up to you when you want to add a little bit of luxury and relaxation to your Mexico City itinerary!
