Akrotiri: Singles’ Aromatherapy Massages

Introducing the Akrotiri: Singles’ Aromatherapy Massages Experience

If you’re craving a moment of pure relaxation during your Santorini trip, this aromatherapy massage offered by Santorini Zen Spa might just be the treat you’re looking for. It’s a straightforward yet sophisticated way to unwind, boost your mood, and perhaps even find a bit of inner calm amid the island’s scenic beauty.

What we really appreciate about this experience is the focus on personalized care—a private session inside a tranquil Zen suite—and the emphasis on aromatic materials that are proven to elevate spirits and relax muscles. And let’s be honest, in a place as beautiful as Santorini, why not indulge in a little self-care?

The possible downside? While the price of $119 for roughly an hour and a half isn’t unusual for high-quality spa treatments, it’s a bit of an investment, especially if you’re planning multiple excursions or are traveling on a budget. Still, for those seeking a peaceful break, this massage offers excellent value for relaxation and rejuvenation.

This experience is ideally suited for solo travelers looking for some “me time,” or anyone who appreciates the calming effects of aromatherapy. It’s also perfect if you want a private, soothing escape after busy sightseeing days. However, it’s worth noting that pregnant women and those with active cancer should consider other options, as this massage is not suitable for them.

What to Expect from This Aromatherapy Massage

From the moment you arrive at the Santorini Zen Spa, you’ll notice the peaceful atmosphere designed to prepare you for complete relaxation. Check-in takes place at the spa within the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites, located in the quiet village of Akrotiri—an ideal spot away from the tourist crowds. The treatment lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours, giving you ample time to unwind.

You’ll be shown into a private Zen suite, a serene space where ambient lighting and calming decor set the tone. The massage begins with a consultation, where your therapist will ask about any preferences or specific areas needing attention. You can select from massage styles such as deep tissue, foot, or relaxing, depending on what your body needs most.

The core of this experience is the use of high-quality plant and aromatic oils. Expect to breathe in pleasant botanical scents that are designed to lift spirits and reduce fatigue. Many reviews highlight how the aromas help soothe the nervous system, leaving clients feeling “super relaxed” and “very happy.” One reviewer even described their first massage as “super cool,” emphasizing a feeling of deep relaxation.

The therapist will work to ease tense muscles, wrap you in a calming atmosphere, and moisturize your skin with nourishing oils. This is particularly beneficial in Santorini, where sun exposure can lead to dry, irritated skin. The oils also help to protect your skin and reverse some effects of sunbathing.

After the massage, you’ll have some time to re-dress, shower if you wish, and enjoy a moment of calm before rejoining your day’s plans. Many find they leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and perhaps even with a new sense of mental clarity.

The Experience Itself: A Closer Look

The booking process is straightforward, with the option to reserve your spot and pay later, offering flexibility especially if your plans are still taking shape. The cost of $119 per person is reasonable given the focus on quality and privacy. It’s a solo experience, but the option to request a specific gender therapist might appeal to some clients. Be aware that requesting a male or female therapist could incur an extra €50 per hour.

The session begins with a 10-minute period allocated for undressing and preparation, which is standard in most massages. The private nature of the suite ensures you won’t feel exposed or hurried—this is one of the biggest perks, making it perfect for anyone who values discretion and tranquility.

The review from a first-time massage client highlights how relaxing and enjoyable the experience can be, describing it as “super cool,” with a strong note on how quickly clients can relax and enjoy the massage. The simplicity of the treatment, combined with the aromatic environment, seems to be a winning combination for many.

For those concerned about timing, check the availability for different starting times, as sessions typically last between an hour and a half. It’s best to plan this massage either as a recovery after sightseeing or as a calming start to a day’s adventures.

Why This Massage Offers Good Value

At $119, you’re paying for a high-quality, private, aromatherapy-focused massage that’s tailored to your needs. The added benefit of a peaceful, exclusive environment means you don’t have to share your relaxation with strangers—a notable plus when compared to more communal spa treatments.

The use of organic, aromatic oils that are proven to lift spirits adds an extra layer of value, especially for travelers seeking emotional and physical relief. Many reviews echo this sentiment, with guests mentioning how much they enjoyed the calming aromatics and the way muscles felt after the treatment.

In an island setting, where sunshine and outdoor activity can leave skin dry and muscles tense, this massage provides both hydration and relaxation—an excellent way to nourish your body and spirit, leaving you refreshed for the next phase of your trip.

Who Will Love This Experience?

This treatment is perfect for solo travelers who want a peaceful break from sightseeing, or those who need a moment of quiet reflection in a beautiful setting. If you love aromatherapy, you’ll really enjoy the scents used during the massage which are designed to lift your mood and promote relaxation.

It’s equally well-suited for anyone looking to soothe tense muscles after a day exploring the volcanic beaches or hiking around the island. Since the treatment is private, it’s a good option for travelers who prefer solitude or a more personalized experience.
