What You Can Expect from This Experience

This package is designed to be a one-stop relaxation shop. After your hotel checkout, you’ll be picked up and taken directly to the Zen Spa at the Akrotiri location. The first highlight? The couples’ massage. You and your partner will enjoy this side-by-side treatment, performed by professional massage therapists, using calming scents of natural and therapeutic essential oils. Many reviewers, like Holly, have raved about how lovely the therapists are and how “the couples massage was awesome” — making it a perfect way to reconnect and relax.

Following the massage, you’ll have day access to the outdoor pool at the Presidential Suites. This isn’t just a quick dip — you’ll have sunbeds, umbrellas, fresh towels, and changing rooms at your disposal. We loved the way this turns your experience into a full leisurely afternoon, not just a quick spa visit. You can lounge, soak up the sun, and enjoy the beautiful views of Santorini’s landscape, all while sipping on two glasses of wine, beer, or juice and nibbling on a fresh fruit platter.

When hunger strikes, the 4-course dinner at the suite’s bar/restaurant awaits. Designed to complement your day of relaxation, the menu features Greek or chicken salads, shrimp skewers or tomato fritters, swordfish or chicken fillet, and churros for dessert. We appreciate the thoughtful selection, balancing local flavors with universally loved dishes. It’s worth noting that drinks during dinner aren’t included, so you might want to budget for a few extra euros if you want wine or a soft drink with your meal.

The entire experience lasts around an hour for the massage, but with pool and dining, you’re likely to spend several leisurely hours enjoying every element. The package offers flexibility — you can reserve now, pay later, and cancel with full refund up to 24 hours in advance, which is handy if your plans shift unexpectedly.

The Value of This Experience

At $734 for up to two people, this isn’t a cheap outing, but it does include quite a lot. You’re getting a professional couples’ massage, pool access with amenities, two glasses of wine or juice, a fruit platter, and a luxurious four-course dinner — all in a scenic setting. When you break it down, the cost covers not just the services but the convenience of transportation and the premium location at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites.

Many travelers, like Holly, have found the experience to be “awesome” and “an amazing day,” emphasizing the friendly staff and the quality of the massage. The inclusion of knowledgeable guides and beautiful surroundings enhances the overall feeling of value, especially if you want to end your trip with a memorable, pampering experience.
