RIVIERA MAYA:
Paraiso de la Bonita’s Holiday Detox Getaway
Turkeys aren’t the only ones stuffed during the holidays. After overindulging on Thanksgiving, and before making the round of Christmas and New Year’s parties, engorged revelers may need a 4 day/3 night Holiday Detox Getaway at the Anti-Aging Center at Paraiso de la Bonita in the Riviera Maya. In addition to a luxurious, art-filled suite with a view of the Caribbean Sea and a daily healthy breakfast, the Holiday Detox Getaway includes a medical evaluation and bioprofile, and five healing treatments designed to refresh the body, if not turn back the clock. Cutting edge treatments (without the knife) included in the getaway are chelation therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, detoxifying balneotherapy, and colonic hydrotherapy, balanced by the ancient healing ceremony of Temazcal, an herbal steam bath with guided imaging conducted by a shaman. Available through December 19th, the 4 day/3 night Holiday Detox Getaway starts at $6,085 for two people, inclusive of taxes. Call 1-866-751-9175 or visit www.paraisodelabonita.com for reservations.

On the menu are the Duchess’s favorite Italian specialties including Polenta Timballini Casserole, Pasta with Caribbean Reef Lobster and Yucatan Zucchini, and a Chocolate and Ricotta Pudding, all accompanied by fresh rustic breads baked on-site in a wood-fire brick oven. The meal is $90 per person, and served at 7 p.m. Rates start at $525 per night for suites. Two-story cottages, perfect for families, are $1,650 per night and may be enjoyed as a private beach house staffed by Esencia’s butlers, housekeepers and chefs de cuisine.
