The ULTIMATE Retreat at the Ultimate Spa - The Agavita Spa at Lajitas, The Ultimate Hideout in Lajitas, Texas

Oct 24, 2004 - The only destination resort in Texas Lajitas, The Ultimate Hideout, announces the opening of their new spa center, Agavita Spa. Offering the ULTIMATE in luxurious spa pampering, the Agavita Spa is situated atop a hill overlooking the Ambush golf course and the mountains of Mexico. The setting is inspirational and the indigenous ingredients in each treatment extract the healing properties of the desert to restore balance and beauty to body and soul. Named after the native Agave succulent, whose leaves form a tight rosette spiraling from the nutrient-rich center—or heart—of the plant, the essence of the flower is said to promote one’s inner self and manifest inner beauty and strength in daily life. Agavita Spa embodies the principles of this nourishing desert plant.

The Agavita Spa’s inspiring menu indulges body and soul with a wide range of unique signature services and body care treatments. Lajitas’ highly trained staff provides private and personal services including therapeutic massage, custom body treatments, facials, and custom manicures and pedicures. Guests can renew themselves with Agavita custom body treatments: the Desert Aroma Massage ($160), a gentle exfoliating body polish utilizing a dry brush followed with an Agave aroma oil massage. Margarita Body Polish ($65), is designed to remove lifeless skin cells and hydrate the skin while the Agave Skin Soother ($110), is a Chihuahuan Desert-inspired body wrap that hydrates, nourishes and restores moisture with the essences of lavender and rose hip. The Rio Grande Mud Wrap ($110), a combination of a therapeutic mud with detoxifying properties maintains warmth and sets the mask, while a scalp massage offers serenity. A calming shower with a cactus fiber mitt is the finale to this incredible, indigenous treatment.

Agavita Spa also offers a variety of aromatic facials ($105-$210); soothing and calming foot soaks ($25); and an extensive range of other services including manicures, pedicures and hair styling at the Agavita Salon.
