Fifth Element Spa — Local services in Playa del Carmen

Words cannot do justice for the emotional, physical, and spiritual healing she brought to my partner and I. This was the best massage I’ve ever had and I woke up feeling new and energized. It’s clear Alma is a master of her craft. She took the time to get to know more about our lifestyle and specific pains before starting. If you’re in area for more than a day, I’d highly recommend booking a session with her.

Booking: she is best contacted through her chat using Google number listed. She responded within a half hour and accommodated even for that day until almost midnight.

Environment: Alma will come to your place of your choosing. She brings a table, head rest, silk coverings, candles, music setup, and incense. It felt peaceful and calming before she even put her hands on us.

Massage: once oriented to our pain and specificities, the full body massage was intuitive and purposeful. I work long hours in the hospital with lots of stress pain in my upper back, which she worked out with pressure without pain. She was so in tune with my body, she could tell the moment I tensed a bit or held my breath in fear of pain. It was a full body massage including all the way to the fingertips. Alma even took extra time for my partner with their knee pain and went over, without expecting anything more.

Professionalism: Alma was respectful of modesty and once she started there were no pauses or talking. Super responsive via Google text/chat even when we accidentally gave her the wrong address at first. She let us know when she was there and accommodating to our last minute schedule. This is a one woman show, and you’d never know with the scheduling, professionalism, quickness to respond, and flourishing business. I watched her work on my partner and it was mesmerizing. She knew her craft and was aware of bodies with her eyes closed. Her tactile responsiveness is incredible.

Payment: she prefers cash, pesos are best but she will accommodate USD; best to text her ahead of time. In my opinion, she severely undercharges for the experience and we made sure she was tipped graciously so she knows.

She even stayed after to help us stretch and return to reality slowly. I slept so well that night. If I could find this quality of massage in the US, I know my health would greatly improve. Her energy, joy and pride in her craft was contagious. I hope that I get the pleasure to be her client again; I may have to come...

Whew. Where do I even begin? This massage was life-changing. I’m still trying to find the right words, but truthfully, nothing fully captures the experience.

I booked a 90-minute holistic Swedish massage, but Alma went beyond the scheduled time, fully committed to the session. I was staying at Sergio & Rodrigo's Cenote Airbnb on 5th Ave. - along with my husband for my 5 years Sans- Booze celebration (true story lol).

My husband found Alma on Google, and completed the reservation and everything without me knowing. Y'all this was a "spiritual surprise."

From the start, it was clear this was more than just bodywork—it was a full-body reset. The soundscape, layered with affirmations, guided me through waves of release. At multiple points, I felt tears slip down my face—not from pain, but from letting go, from feeling held, from the sheer depth of it all.

Every knot, every bit of tension I’d been carrying—gone. This was my first massage in years, and my body desperately needed it. Alma showed up with everything, prepared, professional, and completely in tune with what I needed.

If you’re in Playa del Carmen and want more than just a massage—something restorative, grounding, and deeply felt—book with Alma. No hesitation. I’ll be...
