Review of Akrotiri: Couples Massage Dinner & Pool Access
Imagine spending your last day in Santorini unwinding in a tranquil setting, with soothing massage, refreshing pool time, and a delicious Greek dinner—all in one seamless experience. That’s exactly what the Akrotiri: Couples Massage Dinner & Pool Access offers. This package from Santorini Zen Spa promises a blend of relaxation, intimacy, and indulgence, making it appealing for couples wanting a special send-off or anyone craving a peaceful break amid their sightseeing adventures.
What we love about this experience is how well it balances luxury with practicality. The side-by-side couples massage with professional therapists isn’t just a pampering treat; it’s a chance to reconnect and decompress. Plus, the access to the outdoor pool with its stunning surroundings provides a perfect backdrop for reflection and quiet enjoyment. The inclusion of wine and a fruit platter adds a touch of Greek hospitality, and the four-course dinner rounds out the day with authentic flavors and a satisfying finish.
A potential consideration is the limited duration—just one hour for the massage—so if you’re looking for a full spa day, you’ll need to combine this with other activities. Also, the experience is tailored for those without active health concerns like active cancer or pregnancy, which might exclude some travelers. It’s best suited for couples, or anyone wanting a romantic, relaxing way to wrap up their Santorini visit.
This experience suits travelers who value authentic, intimate moments, and want a convenient way to relax without leaving the island’s charm. It’s ideal for couples celebrating a special occasion or simply those in need of a quiet escape before heading home.

What is Included in the Experience?
The Akrotiri Couples’ Massage Dinner & Pool Access package is designed to maximize your relaxation and pleasure. After you finish checking out from your hotel, you’ll be picked up and transported to the Zen Spa, where the experience begins. The highlight is the couples massage, performed side-by-side by two professional therapists. This isn’t a quick rub—expect a calming, therapeutic session that leverages natural essential oils to soothe tension and refresh your body.
Following the massage, you’ll have access to the outdoor pool at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites. This isn’t just a swimming pool; it’s a serene space with sunbeds, umbrellas, and fresh towels, perfect for lounging or simply soaking up the views of the surrounding landscape. It’s a generous day pass, giving you time to unwind after your treatment.
While relaxing poolside, you can enjoy two glasses of wine, beer, or juice, along with a fresh fruit platter. This small touch adds a sense of leisure and indulgence, making the entire experience feel pampering but authentic.
Once you’ve dried off and relaxed, your day concludes with a four-course dinner at the Presidential Suites’ restaurant. The menu offers a selection of Greek-inspired dishes, including a salad, appetizer, main course, and dessert. You can choose between traditional Greek salads or chicken, shrimp skewers or tomato fritters, swordfish or chicken fillet, and churros for dessert—each dish providing a taste of local flavors in a relaxing setting. Note that drinks during dinner are not included, so plan to order wine or other beverages separately if desired.
The Breakdown of Your Day
The experience begins with a convenient pickup from a designated spot near Akrotiri village, which is a helpful feature for travelers who don’t want to worry about transportation. Once at the spa, you’ll be guided through what to expect, including a brief consultation to tailor the massage to your preferences.
The massage itself lasts around 50 minutes, leaving time for undressing, showering, and redressing—about 10 minutes are allocated for these prep steps. Expect a calming, professional touch, regardless of whether you request a male or female therapist. The option to specify your preference during booking ensures a more personalized experience.
Post-massage, you’ll have access to the outdoor pool, where many reviewers mention the “stunning views” and “peaceful atmosphere.” Holly’s review highlights how “the couples massage was awesome,” and the overall day “was an amazing experience.” The pool is well-equipped, with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, so you can relax comfortably while enjoying the scenery.
The wine and fruit platter are perfect for unwinding further or simply enjoying a snack amid your downtime. This small added touch enhances the feeling of being spoiled in a luxurious yet unpretentious setting.
Finally, the dinner serves as a satisfying conclusion. The menu is well-balanced, featuring classic Greek flavors with a modern touch. Since drinks are not included, you might want to pair your meal with a glass of local wine or a soft drink, which you can purchase separately.
Logistics and Practicalities
The entire experience lasts approximately one hour for the massage, but the pool access and dinner extend your relaxation time. The package is designed as a full-day event, allowing you to reclaim your last hours in Santorini peacefully. Since pickup and drop-off are included, transportation logistics are simplified, ensuring you won’t have to navigate public transport or taxis.
The experience is private and group size is limited to your party, offering intimacy and personalized attention. It’s wheelchair accessible, which adds to its inclusivity. However, it’s not suitable for pregnant women or guests with active cancer, although they can opt for the Rejuvance Face massage, if available.
Pricing is not explicitly detailed here, but rather the focus is on the value for the experience—combining massage, pool access, wine, and dinner in one seamless package. For couples or travelers looking for a romantic, stress-free way to end their trip, this package offers a lot for what can be considered a fair price.
