What to Expect from the Experience

The first thing to note is how well-organized the process is. When you arrive at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites in Akrotiri, check-in is straightforward, and your experience begins with a bit of anticipation — a chance to unwind in a calming environment that feels worlds away from busy streets.

The Spa Environment

The spa exudes serenity. Soft lighting, candles flickering gently, and the scent of aromatherapy oils set the tone. Relaxing music plays softly in the background, creating an atmosphere that encourages you to let go of daily stresses. The private treatment rooms are designed for comfort and intimacy, ensuring your experience feels personalized and peaceful.

The Treatment: Skin Rejuvenation and Relaxation

The core of your 2-hour experience involves a signature Aromatherapy Face and Body treatment. It begins with a gentle wash that clears away makeup and grime, followed by a toner that prepares your skin for further pampering.

You’ll then enjoy a hydrating facial, which includes a reviving serum with six hydrating minerals and a moisturizing treatment that nourishes your skin deeply. The facial incorporates age-defying elements, notably Frankincense oil, which is known for its skin-healing properties.

Meanwhile, the body portion involves a body scrub and wrap, designed to exfoliate and hydrate. Expect a fine scrub featuring Dead Sea salts and natural oils, followed by a nourishing butter infused with anti-aging Dunaliella Seaweed and sugar. This process gently removes toxins and stimulates skin renewal, leaving your skin feeling fresh and radiant.
