A spa day in the right context is one of the most lasting gifts for Mother’s Day. Not because it is expensive or because it is a trend, but because it produces a type of physical wellbeing that the body remembers for days and that no object can replicate.
The problem is that most spas in Medellín have a fragmented concept: the massage is in one place, the jacuzzi in another, the possibility of eating well afterward nowhere near either. B Wellness at Binn Hotel resolves that from the building’s design.
What B Wellness is and how it works
B Wellness is Binn Hotel’s wellbeing space, located in the same building as La Makha and Etro Rooftop. It has a professional gym, a Turkish bath, a covered jacuzzi and massages with local-ingredient aromatherapy.
Access to the Turkish bath and jacuzzi is included for all hotel guests at no additional cost. Personalized massages are quoted separately and coordinated through the concierge team. The gym has treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, free weights, cables and functional training equipment, all at a professional level.
For Mother’s Day, advance coordination allows booking a specific massage for Mom with Colombian-ingredient aromatherapy (locally sourced oils, Andean herbal teas) at the most convenient time for the group. The concierge can prepare that detail as part of the day’s experience without anyone having to manage anything in the moment.
The wellbeing sequence for Mother’s Day
The sequence that produces the greatest recovery and wellbeing combines the three elements of B Wellness in a specific order.
- Turkish bath first. The moist heat activates peripheral circulation, relaxes the musculature and prepares the body for the massage. 20 minutes of Turkish bath before the massage multiplies the effect of the treatment because the muscle tissue is already in a state of vasodilation when the therapist begins to work.
- Aromatherapy massage. The Colombian-ingredient oils have aromatic profiles different from standard imported oils: copoazú oil has specific moisturizing properties from the Amazonian pulp, the Andean herb oils (highland mint, lemon verbena) have flavor and aroma profiles that correspond to the microclimates where they are cultivated.
- Jacuzzi as the close. Hydrotherapy at a controlled temperature after the massage prevents sudden cooling and maintains the state of muscular relaxation. Before sleep, it also produces a drop in internal body temperature that improves sleep quality. For an escape that includes a night at the hotel, that evening jacuzzi is the bridge between the celebration and rest.
The B Wellness concept at Binn Hotel has more detail on how the wellbeing spaces integrate with the rest of the hotel ecosystem.
The spa as a gift: how to coordinate it
Gifting a spa day at B Wellness for Mother’s Day has two possible formats.
- Stay with spa included. The most complete option: access to the Turkish bath and jacuzzi is included in all accommodation rates. The gift includes the night in the room plus automatic access to B Wellness. Massages are added as an additional detail coordinated with the concierge.
- Spa without a stay. For groups who are not spending the night, the team can coordinate access to massage and aromatherapy treatments as a standalone experience. The concierge provides information on availability and prices when contacted directly.
In both cases, indicating at booking that it is Mother’s Day allows the team to prepare additional details: welcome teas at B Wellness, specific ambient music, flowers in the space before Mom arrives.
The full day: from B Wellness to Etro Rooftop
One of the advantages of doing the spa at B Wellness is that the experience does not end there. The continuity within the same building allows the wellbeing day to have a natural extension at La Makha or at Etro Rooftop.
The most frequent sequence for a Mother’s Day with spa as the centerpiece: arrival and check-in, B Wellness session (Turkish bath, massage, jacuzzi), lunch or dinner at La Makha, a drink at sunset at Etro Rooftop with views of the Valle de Aburrá. Gourmet breakfast included the following morning if there is a stay.
Without leaving the building. Without finding a taxi. Without anyone having to coordinate anything between one space and the next.
