Akrotiri: 2-Hrs Face & Body Ritual with Day pool access

When visiting Santorini, many travelers focus on the stunning views, picturesque villages, and incredible sunsets. But sometimes, what you need most is a break to unwind and recharge — and that’s exactly what this 2-hour Aromatherapy Face & Body Ritual offers. Located in the peaceful village of Akrotiri, this experience is all about indulging in luxurious wellness treatments while enjoying private spa facilities and day pool access.

For $270 per person, you’re treated to more than just a massage — you’re stepping into a sanctuary designed to help you let go of stress, revitalize your skin, and rediscover tranquility. Two things we love about this experience are the personalized aromatherapy oils tailored to your mood and the chance to relax in a serene environment with private suites. A third highlight is the access to a beautiful outdoor pool, turning a spa visit into a mini-holiday.

The one consideration worth noting is that this tour isn’t suitable for pregnant women or travelers with active cancer, which is fairly common for wellness treatments. Also, if you’re hoping for a full-hour massage or more extensive treatments, be aware that this is a shorter, curated ritual focusing on relaxation and skin renewal. This experience fits best for couples, honeymooners, wellness seekers, or solo travelers who want a peaceful escape during their Santorini trip.

Our journey begins at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites in Akrotiri, where you check in and are welcomed into this peaceful retreat. The spa facilities are modern, immaculately maintained, and designed to promote calm from the moment you arrive. You’ll be shown to your private suite, where the treatment unfolds in a tranquil setting that encourages complete relaxation.

The core of this experience is a full-body aromatherapy massage that lasts approximately 20 minutes, complemented by a hydrating facial (50 minutes) and a body scrub & wrap (another 50 minutes). The treatments are guided by skilled therapists — as one reviewer noted, Theo was “so kind,” explaining each step and ensuring comfort. This kind of personalized care is what sets this spa apart, especially for first-timers or those new to wellness treatments.

The aromatherapy oils are chosen based on your needs, whether you seek deep relaxation, stress relief, or just a pick-me-up. This customization is one of the big reasons many guests rave about the experience, with comments like “relaxing” and “you’ll never find another facial like this.” The massage techniques are soothing and aimed at melting away tension and improving circulation.

Post-treatment, you’re encouraged to linger and enjoy access to the outdoor pool. The pool is set in a peaceful environment, allowing you to take in the views of Santorini’s landscape while relaxing in the sun — a bonus that turns your spa day into a mini holiday. Some guests even mention that this added element elevates the experience from a simple treatment to a luxury escape.

Duration & Schedule: The entire ritual lasts about 2 hours, including a 10-minute buffer for changing, showering, and consultation. You’ll start with check-in and end back at the same meeting point, making logistics straightforward.

Inclusions & Exclusions: For the price, you get a hydrating facial, a body scrub & wrap, a gentle aromatherapy massage, and pool access. Transport to and from the spa is not included, so plan accordingly.

Booking & Flexibility: You can reserve now and pay later, which is helpful when planning your trip. Cancellations are free if made at least 24 hours in advance, adding flexibility to your schedule.

Special Requests & Staff: If you prefer a male or female therapist, you should specify this when booking, as additional charges may apply. The spa staff are accommodating, and the first available therapist will usually be assigned to you.

Accessibility & Suitability: Not suitable for children under 16, pregnant women, or those with active cancer. For pregnant guests, only the Rejuvance Face Massage is offered, so if you’re expecting, it’s best to communicate your needs beforehand.

The personalized aromatherapy is a real highlight — selecting oils tailored to your mood makes each treatment feel special. The private suites create a sense of intimacy and quiet, perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking peace.

Guests consistently praise the professionalism and kindness of the staff, with one reviewer calling Theo “a talented masseuse and an absolute MUST.” Many appreciate the stunning views from the pool, which turn what could be a simple spa day into a memorable experience. The combination of treatments and facilities offers excellent value for those looking to indulge while in Santorini.

While some note that the treatment quality varies slightly depending on the therapist, the overall feedback is very positive, especially emphasizing the relaxing environment and expert guidance. The spa’s location in Akrotiri provides a peaceful contrast to the busier towns, making it ideal for those wanting a break from sightseeing.

If you’re a couple celebrating a special occasion, this is an intimate and luxurious option. It’s equally well-suited for solo wellness travelers who want a pause from exploring. Those who enjoy personalized treatments and serene settings will find this experience particularly rewarding.

Because of the pool access, it’s also a good choice for anyone wanting to combine treatment with outdoor lounging. If you’re on a limited schedule, the 2-hour format makes it manageable, though not ideal for those seeking longer, more intensive treatments.

Travelers who value professional staff and beautiful surroundings will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with a new appreciation for Santorini’s quieter, more luxurious side.
