Massage in Playa del Carmen: which one to choose for what you need

There's a massage place on every corner in Playa del Carmen, but they're not all for the same thing. Choosing well depends on what you want: to rest, reduce swelling, release knots, or support recovery after surgery. Here are the options we offer and who each one is for.

Relaxing massage

To unwind. Light to medium pressure, ideal after a long flight or several beach days. It lasts 1 hour and costs MXN $1,000.

Lymphatic drainage massage

To reduce swelling. Gentle, rhythmic movements that help drain fluid. Very helpful if your legs feel heavy from the heat or from long hours sitting on the plane. It lasts 1 hour and costs MXN $1,000.

Deep tissue massage

For knots and muscle tension. Firmer pressure on the back, neck and shoulders. Ideal if you carry tension from work, or after diving, paddleboarding or lots of walking. It lasts 1 hour and costs MXN $1,100.

Slimming massage

To shape your figure. A more intense technique focused on areas like the abdomen, waist and legs. It works best as part of a multi-session plan. It lasts 1 hour and costs MXN $1,200.

Post-surgical massage

For after cosmetic surgery such as liposuction or a tummy tuck. It helps reduce swelling and supports recovery. It should be done with your surgeon's approval. It lasts 1 hour and costs MXN $1,100.

• You came to rest: relaxing.
• You feel swollen or your legs feel heavy: lymphatic drainage.
• You have knots or sore muscles: deep tissue.
