A Three-Day Journey of Beauty, Healing, and Elevated Self-Care Led by Luxury Skincare and Wellness Experts
KNESKO, the globally renowned luxury skincare and wellness brand, is proud to announce its first-ever destination retreat in collaboration with Fairmont, hosted at the prestigious Fairmont property in Mexico from October 24–26, 2025.
This exclusive three-day experience—“Beauty & Energy Alignment: A Journey Within”—is a luxury immersion into self-care, holistic beauty, and spiritual rejuvenation.
Designed for those seeking deeper connection, clarity, and radiant transformation, the retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience the healing power of KNESKO’s proprietary rituals in an intimate, high-touch setting.
This immersive retreat blends elevated wellness with energetic beauty.
Over three soul-nourishing days, you'll move your body, quiet your mind, and restore your nervous system through curated rituals, guided meditations, chakra-activating mask sessions, and deeply supportive conversations.
Every detail—from the crystal-infused KNESKO masks to the ocean breeze and nourishing meals—has been designed to help you feel radiant from the inside out.
Expect heart-opening connection, high-vibe luxury, and the space to remember your own magic.
KNESKO has always believed that beauty is more than skin deep, said Lejla Cas, Founder and CEO of KNESKO.
Every element of our Beauty & Energy Alignment retreat has been thoughtfully designed to offer a full-spectrum experience of beauty, energy, and inner alignment.
Here’s what’s included in your transformative three-day journey:
✨ Three days, two nights in ocean‑view luxury accommodations at the incredible 5‑star Fairmont Mayakoba
✨ Curated wellness cuisine—three nourishing meals daily plus elixir breaks
✨ Waxing moon signature treatment: an exclusive 60-minute KNESKO massage and body treatment designed specifically for retreat attendees
✨ KNESKO Mask to calm and balance
✨ A grounding ritual kit curated exclusively for this retreat and orkshops led by Lejla Cas and the Yogando team.
✨ Guided Reiki, meditation, and sound‑healing sessions under the Caribbean sky
✨ A Temazcal ceremony, a traditional purification ritual to release, renew, and reconnect.
✨ Embodied movement and beach bonfire dance to activate your chakras, and close the evening in radiant joy.

✨ Exclusive gift set featuring KNESKO’s full chakra collection
Modern life fragments our attention and drains our energetic reserves. KNESKO’s proprietary gemstone‑infused rituals are renowned for restoring balance in a single facial, but a sustained, multi‑sensory immersion magnifies those results exponentially.
Over three transformative days you will: Reconnect with your higher self through daily guided meditations and Reiki‑charged sound baths under the stars, personally led by founder Lejla Cas.
Rejuvenate your complexion with KNESKO’s signature gemstone-infused, high-vibrational facials.
Realign mind‑body‑spirit through mindful movement, chakra balancing, and intuitive workshops that translate subtle energetic shifts into everyday confidence.
The luxury Fairmont Mayakoba resort is situated within 240 acres of tropical forest intersected by crystal clear waterways and surrounded by a pristine Caribbean shoreline, 40 miles south of Cancun near Playa del Carmen.
Known as the “Venice of the Caribbean”, the majority of the rooms and suites at the AAA 5 Diamond resort feature private entrances, spa style bathrooms and views over the tropical forest, gardens or the Caribbean Sea.
Guests can take advantage of several on-property activities such as exploring nature trails, scenic boat tours or a variety of watersports, and dining at one of four restaurants with menus created by celebrity chef Richard Sandoval.
The property is also home to the 37,000-square-foot Willow Stream spa offering a variety of treatments incorporating indigenous ingredients and ancient native traditions, as well as Mayan-inspired signature experiences.
Fairmont Mayakoba is located at 98 Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Just over 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport, let soft-sand beaches and the captivating Mayan ruins welcome you to our resort.
