Sense, A Rosewood Spa at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende Is Inspired by Mexico's Positive Energy, Healing Traditions, and Indigenous Ingredients

Rosewood San Miguel de Allende is located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

At Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, the artistic spirit of Colonial Mexico comes alive, expressing the rich heritage and cosmopolitan spirit of the famed art-centric city of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Mexico.

The colonial-style hotel has 67 rooms, suites, and private residences reminiscent of a fine hacienda with 16th-century Spanish and Mexican design elements. It offers multiple authentic and refined culinary experiences throughout the property include a garden restaurant and a rooftop dining space, in addition to a tequila bar. Guests enjoy a wide variety of experiences and events, both on and off property, ranging from cooking classes and art exhibits to live music and local festivals.

The Best Spas in Mexico

Wellness amenities include two swimming pools (a family pool and a bi-level pool with cabanas), two clay tennis courts, a fitness center with top-tier equipment that offers group and individual classes, and Sense, A Rosewood Spa, an oasis of relaxation inspired by San Miguel de Allende’s positive energy and Mexican healing traditions with indigenous ingredients.

We chatted with Omar Castillo, Director of Spa, who shared more information about the spa’s amenities, insider tips, treatments to try, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests are particularly captivated by how our spa integrates elements of the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, especially the profound traditions of the native Otomí community.

This indigenous culture has preserved a rich legacy of herbal healing and astrophysical knowledge for centuries. Every aspect of the spa experience—ranging from the quartz bed and astral bird charts to cacao ceremonies—is thoughtfully curated to reflect and honor this deep-rooted wisdom.

Guests can enjoy calming relaxation areas, as well as both a sauna and a steam room to unwind before or after treatments. Refreshments include a variety of herbal teas, chlorophyll-infused water, and an assortment of fresh fruit and dried snacks, all served in our tranquil lounge area.

Sense, A Rosewood Spa is inspired by the area’s recognized positive energy and offers unique cultural wellness experiences such as cacao ceremonies.

Insider Tip: To elevate your spa experience, we recommend arriving early to take full advantage of the facilities. Spending time in the sauna and steam room before your treatment helps relax your muscles and open your pores, allowing your body and skin to fully absorb the benefits of your treatment.

The spa features a curated selection of premium brands including Evidens de Beauté and Tata Harper.

Bonus: As a special gesture, in-house guests receive a complimentary gift from the spa. These thoughtful offerings may include soothing essential oils or beautifully handcrafted quartz bracelets—each a memorable keepsake to enhance their wellness journey.

Refreshments include a variety of herbal teas, chlorophyll-infused water, and more in the tranquil lounge area.

Snacks Served: At Sense, A Rosewood Spa, guests are treated to a selection of nourishing and refreshing snacks and beverages. Herbal teas are available to promote calm and hydration, while chlorophyll-infused water offers a revitalizing boost. Complementing these drinks is a thoughtful assortment of fresh fruit and dried snacks, all served in our serene lounge.

The spa integrates elements of the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage throughout its treatments and spaces.

Splurge Treatment: I highly recommend Sense of Connection—A Couple’s Journey (120 minutes) for couples visiting the spa who wish to deepen their bond and share a meaningful experience. This indulgent ritual begins with a full-body exfoliation, preparing the skin.

Guests are then enveloped in a nourishing mask and gently cocooned, promoting relaxation and restoration. A soothing massage follows, designed to relieve tension and encourage a deeper sense of unity. Throughout the treatment, a bespoke aromatherapy blend of lavender, patchouli, petitgrain, and orange is used, crafted to balance energies and cultivate emotional harmony.

The experience concludes with the ancient practice of moxibustion, focusing on the sacral chakra to realign emotions and reconnect both partners with their sensual and creative energies.

Guests can enjoy calming relaxation areas to relax and unwind before and after their treatments.

Insider’s Favorite: One of my favorite treatments at the spa is the Absolute Transformation by HydraFacial. This non-invasive treatment suits all skin types, extracting impurities comfortably and priming the skin for customized boosters. Guests can expect enhanced results with LED light therapy and potent antioxidants for protection and hydration, ensuring a rejuvenated glow.

The treatment features a luxurious 90-minute facial with detoxifying lymphatic drainage, personalized cleansing, and a tailored mask, and guests can even indulge in a sensory face, scalp, and arm massage for ultimate relaxation.

The spa’s treatment menu includes holistic massages, revitalizing facials, rituals, and more.

Most Unique Treatment: Our most unique treatment is Sensorial Immersion Earth—a transformative experience unlike any other. What sets this treatment apart is its deeply grounding and multi-sensory approach. Guests are invited to lie on a bed of rose quartz crystal, creating a rare and powerful energetic connection to the Earth’s natural frequency. This connection fosters an immediate sense of belonging and safety.

The experience is further enhanced by theta healing sound waves and the gentle vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, creating a deeply meditative atmosphere. A kinetic body and facial massage using aromatic herbal oils stimulates the senses, while color therapy works on a subconscious level to promote emotional balance.

The session concludes with tuning fork frequencies applied to cranial marma points, helping to synchronize the brain hemispheres and encourage the natural flow of energy throughout the body.

San Miguel offers a strong heritage on traditional treatments influenced by the Otomi natives.

Featured Products: We proudly feature a curated selection of premium brands, including Evidens de Beauté and Tata Harper.

The spa also offers stunning views of the city and its beautiful architecture.
