case study: Fairmont Spa Mayakoba
Fairmont Spa Mayakoba's partnership with Knesko exemplifies how shared philosophy and intentionality can elevate guest experiences. When planning the spa's 2023 reopening, the team discovered Knesko and were immediately drawn to the brand's dedication to quality and care. Wellness & Recreation Director Jessica Lonngi was captivated by the passion and vision that Founder Lejla Cas embeds into every product, creating an alignment with Fairmont Spa Mayakoba's own ethos. Going beyond treatments and products, Knesko helps the spa deliver genuine care, connection, and results for guests.
Knesko products and treatments are woven throughout the spa experience. Signature offerings include the Gold Peptide Deluxe Manicure and Pedicure, the spa's most requested beauty treatments, and the Gold Alchemy Body Ritual. This body treatment combines Knesko's Gold Repair line with restorative sound baths and luxurious body serums, creating a multi-sensory experience that rejuvenates body and mind. Guests consistently describe leaving feeling renewed, relaxed, and in tune with their inner balance. With the addition of Lejla's guided meditations, the spa ensures a holistic wellness experience that deepens the effects of every treatment.
The partnership reached a milestone with Knesko's first-ever retreat hosted at Fairmont Spa Mayakoba. The three-day experience celebrated self-care for mind, body, and spirit, incorporating Reiki, meditation, and treatments inspired by Mayan astronomy and the lunar cycle. A standout moment was a bespoke facial that fused the spa's traditional use of jade with Knesko's Green Jade Calm Face Mask, honouring both cultural heritage and modern luxury skincare.
What truly distinguishes this collaboration is the relationship between the teams. From product education sessions to retreat planning, Knesko's responsiveness and genuine investment in the spa's success have made them more than a vendor—they're a trusted partner in creating exceptional guest experiences. Fairmont Spa Mayakoba continues to expand its collaboration with Knesko, elevating its luxury treatments and creating transformative wellness journeys for every guest.

Perched high above the city skyline, the Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia embodies the art of holistic luxury. The spa’s philosophy centers on balance—where wellbeing, beauty, and modern sophistication harmoniously converge. This commitment to nurturing both body and soul is what makes Knesko, a brand that fuses spirituality with science, an ideal resource partner.

Within the treatment rooms, Knesko’s masks and body collections are seamlessly integrated into massages and rituals. In the retail boutique, guests can extend their self-care journey at home with the same transformative products used in the spa. A standout success has been the Gold Repair Body Collection, which inspired a seasonal “Golden Hour Massage.” Featuring the Body Serum, Body Cream, and Gold Repair Eye Mask, the experience quickly became a favorite—accounting for 12% of summer massage revenue. Guests consistently praise the luminous results and enveloping sense of luxury, while therapists appreciate the formulas’ smooth texture and professional performance.

Testimonial
"Knesko has been a valued long-time partner. We recently launched the Knesko Meditation Suite, and were truly astonished by how this practice seamlessly combined deep personalisation with profound intention, transforming a simple spa visit into something unforgettable.
"The response of our guests has been overwhelming—people said it was exactly what their soul needed, with some moved to tears.
"This suite is more than a spa treatment; it’s an innovative and deeply personal ritual that creates a meaningful, lasting impact for every guest.”
– Alexis Haley, director of spa and recreation, The Ritz Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara California
"Knesko has been a great partnership for us. The addition of body products and hand and feet masks to the Gold Repair Collection is an exciting milestone. We are thrilled to elevate our nail services with the products, so they have the same luxury feel found in the treatment room.
"We have also integrated these products into massage and enhancements, as well as exploring a full body signature treatment with the Knesko protocols."
– Jennifer Holzworth, senior corporate director of spa operations, Montage International
"Woodhouse has embraced Knesko because of its exceptional versatility and seamless integration across our service offerings.
"The mask enhancements elevate nearly every treatment – whether facials, massages, body treatments or even nail services. It’s particularly valuable as a massage enhancement, where add-on opportunities are typically more limited.
"Additionally, Knesko’s beautifully packaged retail products allow every guest at Woodhouse to take the experience home, enhancing their self-care routine while driving strong revenue opportunities for our franchise owners.
– Ariel Clay, chief operating officer, Woodhouse Spas
