Your cares begin to melt away as soon as you enter the rustic, garden-surrounded property of this day-spa aerie overlooking Banderas Bay. Familiar and unpretentious, Terra Noble is more accessible pricewise than some of the area's more elegant spas. After-treatment teas are served on an outdoor patio with a great sea view. Two-hour temazcal sweat lodge rituals cleanse on three levels: physically, mentally, and spiritually. Or recharge with clay and painting classes, and Tarot readings. Body Treatments: Reflexology; massage; several wraps and scrubs; temazcal sweat lodge; yoga/meditation. Beauty Treatments: Facials; manicure; pedicure. Packages: A few economical packages such as the Stress Recovery (a sea-salt body scrub, a massage, and a facial), for $145. Prices: Body treatments $50-$65; manicure/pedicure $25-$30.
