Rating8.1Adults OnlyThe Renova Spa at Riu Dunamar is a compact facility with two treatment rooms. What's free: sauna, steam rooms (gender-separated), and the jacuzzi/whirlpool bath — all 18+. The gym is also included. Paid treatments include the usual massage menu plus body wraps and beauty services. Given the small size, book treatments on arrival day if you want a specific time. Beach massages in the two wooden gazebos on the pier are the most distinctive option.

Fully equipped fitness center, open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sports shoes required. Adequate cardio and weights selection for a resort gym. Not a standout facility, but functional.
Group fitness classes scheduled throughout the day — aqua aerobics, yoga sessions, light cardio. Free and walk-in. Check the daily schedule posted at the activity desk.
Included in the rate. Located within the spa/changing area. Adults only. One of the few truly quiet spots on a busy resort property.
Hot and cold whirlpool options, located near the spa changing rooms and on a small terrace. Included for guests 18+. More useful for post-activity recovery than as a standalone experience.
Separate steam rooms for men and women, within the changing facilities. Included, adults only. A 15-minute session here before the jacuzzi is the most efficient use of the complimentary wellness facilities.
Standard Swedish-style relaxation massage. The most commonly booked treatment at Riu spas. Extra charge. The beach gazebo option (see Beach Massages) gives this more of a point of difference.
Targets muscle tension and chronic tightness. Extra charge. Worth booking if active water sports or long travel days are part of your trip.
Hawaiian-style massage using long forearm strokes. Extra charge. Less common at mass-market spa menus — a reasonable choice if you've had the standard massage before.
Foot-focused pressure point treatment. Extra charge. A good standalone option if you don't want a full-body treatment.
Japanese pressure-point and stretch technique. Extra charge. One of the more specialized offerings on the menu.
The spa's signature treatment combining multiple techniques. Extra charge. A practical choice if you want variety in a single session rather than committing to one style.
The standout option on the menu: treatments conducted in two wooden gazebos on the pier over the Caribbean Sea. Available for singles or couples. Extra charge. The setting makes this significantly more memorable than the standard treatment rooms. Book on arrival day — availability is limited to two stations.
Standard facial treatments for various skin types. Extra charge. Useful if sun exposure over multiple days has left skin feeling depleted.
Full-body scrub treatment. Extra charge. A practical mid-trip or end-of-trip treatment after beach and pool exposure.
Mud or mineral wraps for detox and hydration. Extra charge. A more involved treatment requiring 60–90 minutes.
Cut and styling services. Extra charge. Useful for special occasions — the resort has a Pacha disco on-site where the more dressed-up evening crowd lands.
Makeup application and beauty services. Extra charge.
Manicure and pedicure services. Extra charge.
Standard waxing treatments. Extra charge.
