Aguahara water massage in Puerto Escondido: One-on-one healing

Weightlessness in water releases what stretching on land cannot.

Aguahara is a one-on-one water therapy session in Puerto Escondido combining massage, gentle stretching and cradling movements in a warm outdoor pool. You float supported while the therapist guides your body through a series of movements designed to release tension and rebalance you physically and emotionally. The session lasts 90 minutes and is tailored to your needs. Pool entry is included.

The experience

You meet at an outdoor pool in a secluded spot and start by talking through what you need from the session. Then you enter the warm water and the therapist continuously supports and holds you while moving, stretching and massaging your body through a series of gentle, flowing motions. The water does most of the work: your body reaches a state of weightlessness that frees the muscles and joints in ways dry-land stretching cannot match. Tensions melt, blockages release, and the mind quiets as you simply close your eyes and let the movements carry you.

Aguahara draws from ancient Oriental water therapies and works at multiple levels at once. The warmth and support of the water combined with the guided movements help rebalance you not just physically but emotionally, creating space for deeper relaxation and a sense of inner harmony. Each session is unique and shaped entirely around what your body and mind need on that particular day. If you're uncomfortable in water, the therapist can work with that too: the weightlessness and support often help people find ease they don't expect.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is Aguahara and how is it different from a regular massage?

Aguahara is a one-on-one water therapy that combines massage, stretching and cradling movements while you float supported in warm water. The weightlessness of the water lets your muscles and joints move freely in ways a land-based massage cannot achieve, and the continuous support from the therapist creates a deeply relaxing, almost meditative state.

Do I need to be a strong swimmer to do this?

No. You are continuously held and supported by the therapist throughout the session, so swimming ability is not required. If you're uncomfortable in water, the therapist can work with that as part of the healing process itself.

How long is the session and what's included?

The session lasts 90 minutes and includes entrance to the pool. You'll spend time talking through your needs at the start, then move into the water for the guided therapy work.

What should I bring or wear?

Bring a swimsuit and a towel. The pool is outdoors in a beautiful secluded setting, so you may want to bring a cover-up and sunscreen for before and after the session.

Is this suitable for someone with injuries or chronic pain?

Aguahara is recommended for all fitness levels and the session is tailored to your individual needs. The weightlessness and support can be especially helpful for people managing injuries or chronic tension, though you should mention any specific concerns when you meet the therapist.
