Six Senses Spa

The first Six Senses Spa� in Europe situated within the porto elounda DE LUXE RESORT provides a truly relaxing and revitalizing experience, through many forms of holistic healings to balance the senses. Its range of signature treatments focuses on health, beauty, pampering, stress reduction and recuperation using pure, natural and environmentally friendly products. The luxuriously appointed spa spreads over 2,200 m�.

The Six Senses Spa at Porto Elounda is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking spas in Greece, following the local architectural traditions with a touch of the latest trends and some very impressive contemporary art. Located in the western coves of Mirabello bay, it overlooks the resort's golf course and the distant mountains.

The reception area is a magical environment of water, stone, glass, wood and breathtaking murals that introduce an unforgettable spa experience as guests are greeted by the expert Six Senses staff and escorted to the spa's focal point, the Tepidarium.

Receiving its name from the Roman baths, the Tepidarium is a tremendous space that excites all the senses with water being the main motive force: flowing through a cascade, bubbling in the hydrotherapy swimming pool, glistening in the overhead glass pond, and dominating the view out of the enormous glass fa�ade.

The hydropool is filled with a host of water features - jets, cascades, bubble-beds and air-massage. Having both an indoor and an outdoor section, it is a unique experience to swim around it while admiring the distant seascapes and as the skin's pores admit beneficial seawater ions.

After the bath experience, the body is ready to immerse into the Thermal Suite. Besides the traditional Finnish sauna with dry heat, there is also the Saunarium with its more subtle heat and humidity and the Caldarium, the traditional Roman steam room.

The Ottoman Hammam experience at the Porto Elounda Spa is a whole ritual whose rejuvenating properties have been used for centuries. It starts with footbaths and continues with a cleansing whole-body shower onto the main hot room where the skin softens in anticipation of a thorough body scrub. After the exfoliation comes a gentle massage with natural oils and thence the hammam's relaxation area.

One of the unique features of the Six Senses Spa at Porto Elounda is the Therapy Suite, essentially a small private spa within the spa. Available for a few hours or for the whole day, it offers a private steam room, sauna, small hydropool, outdoor bubble-tub, and two treatment rooms with indoor and outdoor relaxation areas.

All private treatment rooms in the spa are located on an independent level with a large Therapy Suite like the one on the reception level below, two Oriental Treatment rooms with floor mattresses, two Couple Treatment rooms with an outdoor bubble-tub, and two Thalassotherapy Suites. A set of four treatment rooms can be joined to create another suite: The Dry Float room for all kinds of wraps, the Cleopatra Bath for immersion in therapeutic concoctions of milk and honey, two wonderful massage rooms large enough for couples, as well as an outdoor bubble-tub.

Porto Elounda De Luxe is a world-class, five-star resort with outstanding leisure and family facilities at your disposal all year round.
