The all-inclusive and luxurious Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort Cancun Riviera Maya has something to suit every type of traveler, including wellness-minded guests looking to begin the New Year in better health.

The expansive full-service El Cocay Spa offers endless options for guests looking to offload unwelcome stress, relieve nagging aches and pains and restore both body and mind.

Choose from a wide array of rejuvenating and pampering spa treatments and ancient healing rituals such as hot-stone massages, herbal wraps, facials and Temazcal (a Mayan inspired steam bath experience), among others.

Other highlights include hydrotherapy facilities, a Zen garden and relaxing meditation areas, massage cabins, steam room and sauna, Yoga and Tai-Chi instruction, a hair and nail salon and a boutique offering native Maya handcrafts.

The El Cid Resorts property also boasts a 2,088-square-foot fitness center featuring the latest state-of-the-art equipment, TRX, functional training, spinning and Yoga classes.

Active guests will also enjoy the resort's pools and beach. The 3,675-square-foot main pool includes children areas while the 1,108-square-foot adults-only pool area offers a pair of reinvigorating jacuzzis. Guests can also look forward to a mesmerizing infinity pool that appears to merge with the sea and nearly 2,000 square feet of sandy beach.

Guests can break a sweat on the water as well as part of the all-inclusive plan at no additional cost. Available activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, windsurfing, beach volleyball and much more.

Travelers chasing the feeling of rejuvenation can book the Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort's loaded spa package including junior suite accommodations-with jacuzzi and a king-size bed with an ultra-comfort mattress and feather pillows to ensure enhanced sleep-a 50-minute therapeutic massage for two, aromatic facial for him and her, a 50-minute relaxing marine body scrub with salt sea and essential oils as well as a hydrotherapy session for two.
