Feminine without being frilly, The Mokara Spa has a cool, fresh décor and a menu of treatments that spotlights natural products. Popular services include hot-stone massages, thermal mud wraps and anti-aging facials. The signature Mokara Massage, for example, is the answer for anyone in need of a recharge after a grueling day along the River Walk, thanks to an employment of various massage techniques and its use of specialty oils. Men are particularly pampered here, too, with a special menu that includes Swedish-style services and moisturizing facials.
Our Inspector's Highlights
