I’m fairly desperate to go to Mexico and stay at The Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya, if only for its gorgeous spa.

The treatments are inspired by traditional Mayan practices and even include a pick-your-own scrub from the herb garden, a tummy rub and a claustrophobic and spooky Temazcal Ceremony where you share a pitch black sauna with a chanting shaman.

The poolside spa cafe is said to be incredible, offering delicious snacks, healthy juices and interesting teas like pear-tree green and rose.

I would even risk swine flu for a few days here.
