Holidays, in general, can tremendously benefit your mental well-being, but combining them with treatments and therapies to soothe the body, too, definitely amplifies this further. Our daily routine can often be stressful and physically affect our health without realising it. A little escape is perfect for reconnecting and rekindling a sense of balance. Mind, body, and soul can become aligned through specialist treatments that harness the powers of thermal water and extract the essence of pure ingredients. The body is relieved of tension that has accumulated gradually, day by day. At the same time, inner calm is achieved through zen-like surroundings, as the mind relaxes when taking in sublime vistas that are too magnificent to fathom. Here are four spectacular Greek hotels with spas with all the criteria to make your wellness levels soar.

Thermal Springs Spa in Evia

Built on a natural spring site in Edipsos, Evia, Thermae Sylla Spa Wellness Hotel is a specialist in providing therapies powered by the bountiful benefits of thermal water. First, a Spa and then a hotel; this place has a wide range of therapies, including medical spa treatments to rectify various ailments and even rehabilitate from certain conditions. Apart from massages and beautifying sessions, you can try mud baths, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, anti-stress, and detoxification programmes, including weight loss. Simply soaking in the natural thermal pools is revitalising on its own. Since mythological times, people have exalted the healing properties of the water at Edipsos. Coupled with excellent, luxurious rooms that exude a past sense of grandeur, guests can further enhance their wellness efforts by combining personalised nutrition plans for even more outstanding results.

Andronis Concept Wellness Resort in Santorini

Situated on Santorini's Imerovigli, the Andronis Concept Wellness Resort promises 5-star levels of wellness. Their Kallos Spa, the ancient Greek word for beauty, is the largest spa centre on Santorini island and a haven of luxurious massages, body rituals, and private yoga sessions. Massages are meticulously chosen, with one including a specifically designed pregnancy massage that promises to alleviate the heavy, languid feeling of being with a child. The spa facilities are exemplary, exuding an unmistakable instant zen feeling. Kallos Spa is open to hotel guests and external visitors by appointment, so everyone who visits Santorini can experience a satiating wellness journey into absolute tranquillity. Imerovigli is a lesser-known location in Santorini, which is inherently quieter. At the same time, the luxurious suites and villas are the ideal accommodation choice for a stay that is the epitome of island chic. You can include this option if you have an Athens island-hopping itinerary.

Sublime, authentic stone Spa in Mani

Mani is a place that is like nowhere else in Greece. A place that has, in its majority, withstood the winds of change, becoming a paragon of Greek timelessness. Mani is a perfect destination for those seeking a retreat-like holiday in the Peloponnese, to a location that embraces you with its wilderness, resilience, and rugged charm. Traditional, stone-built houses characterise the entire region of inner Mani, and Petra & Fos Boutique and Spa Hotel is no exception. In Inner Mani's Itilo, overlooking a breathtaking gulf, this hotel cultivates an unprecedented awe that is almost overwhelming. The Ioni Spa of Petra & Fos is underground, conveying a mystical feeling that will captivate visitors, further building upon the serenity of the hotel. Made entirely of stone, Ioni Spa uses pure, natural products and treats guests personally, giving them an individual approach to pampering. Luxury here consists of something other than abundant elements. Instead, it is the simplicity of authenticity that wins guests over.

Cretan Spa indulgence in Elounda

Tucked away in one of Crete's most charming locations is a boutique villa complex that offers its guests, both adults and families, tranquillity, privacy and impeccable services. You rarely come across independent villa accommodation with hotel facilities. Having received multiple hospitality awards, Elounda Gulf Villas & Suites guarantees to elevate wellness through its Elixir Spa and its personalised attitude to treating guests. The Spa is set amidst the most picturesque surroundings, while this property also offers wonderful Spa pool villas in Crete, treating guests within their private space to the ultimate relaxing experience. Enhancing wellness levels, they provide personalised services like private dining and childcare at their kid's club, creating quality time to enjoy between the pampering treatments.
