Mukul Ancient Sanctuary, the “Secret” Spa, is perched high on the hillside and features such incredible vistas of the ocean, beaches and sky, that it seems to bring heaven and earth together. The wellness and healing practices of ancient Mesoamerica have inspired the treatments in our Ancient Sanctuary. Inspired by traditional Turkish and Moorish architecture, this spa casita features arched portals, high vaulted ceilings, a private grotto and accents of hand-painted ceramic tile and marble. Treatments follow a five-step detox and cleansing regiment including steam, massage, exfoliation, soaping and relaxation. KM 10, Carretera Tola-Las Salinas, Nicaragua, mukulresort.com
