Signature treatments explained

Thai massage

Thai massage uses assisted stretching, rhythmic compression, and gentle joint mobilization to help release tension and improve flexibility. It’s an energizing, restorative style that can support posture and mobility—ideal before an active day or as a reset mid-stay. At Papagayo, you can book Thai massage at Laman Spa & Wellness or at the resort’s spa.

Swedish massage

Swedish massage focuses on relaxation with long, flowing strokes, light-to-moderate pressure, and gentle kneading. It’s well-suited for easing general stress, supporting circulation, and helping you downshift into vacation mode. Swedish massage is part of the onsite spa menu at Papagayo Beach Hotel.

Deep-tissue massage

Deep-tissue massage applies slower, more focused pressure to address stubborn tension and muscle adhesions. It’s a strong choice if you’re carrying chronic tightness or want targeted work after travel. Deep-tissue massage is available at the full-service spa at Papagayo Beach Resort.

Sports massage

Sports massage targets specific muscle groups to aid warm-up, recovery, and mobility for active guests. Whether you’ve been diving, playing beach tennis, or exploring the island, sports massage can help you bounce back comfortably. It’s offered through the resort’s full-service spa, with sessions available in the spa or on the beach.

Beach massages

Few things compare to a massage steps from white sand and turquoise water. At Papagayo, massages are available right on Jan Thiel Beach, allowing you to pair therapeutic touch with ocean breezes and the sound of the surf. If you prefer climate control and quiet, the spas also offer treatment rooms indoors—so you can choose the setting that suits your mood.

Facials and nail care

Looking for a glow-up before sunset cocktails? The onsite spa at Papagayo Beach Hotel offers facials to refresh and manicure/pedicure services to polish your look. Pair a facial with a Swedish massage for a classic head-to-toe revival.
