Best Spa Break in Greece: Canaves Spa at Canaves Oia Suites, Santorini

Santorini, Greece’s volcanic island famous for dramatic views and stunning sunsets, is home to Canaves Oia Suites – set in a fantastic location on the caldera’s edge in the heart of Oia town.

And it’s the perfect place to be for a spa break this spring.

The hotel is one of the island’s most sought-after properties, featuring a minimalist decor, bright and airy suites offering modern facilities and full views to the caldera and the Aegean Sea.

But the world-class Canaves Spa is what all the fuss is about.

The Spa

Once a 17th-century wine cave, Canaves Oia has been transformed into a luxury spa without losing its original charm. It’s undoubtedly a spellbinding hideaway reflecting the beauty and romance of Santorini, with signature treatments offered by an experienced team.

A fitness gym and yoga classes are also available at the hotel.

The Treatments

The spa’s treatment menu incorporates the famous Rasul, an oriental experience of “One Thousand and One Nights” with spectacular colours, towering minarets and a deceptively realistic starry sky. Choose from the detoxing Three Coloured Mud Ritual, the nourishing Bali Paradise Experience and the harmonising and balancing Passion for Elderflowers Ritual. Mists of steam, warmth and a fragrance of sweet herbs, float through the Rasul room as guests melt into ergonomic seats and enjoy their chosen treatment. The Rasul Experience is perfect for a couple’s getaway.

Although the Rasul is everything you need to ease into a state of bliss, a selection of facial treatments from the pioneering Swiss cellular cosmetics skincare brand Valmont is on hand to make you feel brand new. The focus on high-performance anti-aging treatments offers instant and long-lasting results of unparalleled quality.

For a top to toe pampering, book the exclusive Relax and Detach Treatment, which starts off with a Bali Paradise Experience, followed by a Full Body Massage using a rich oil blend infused with papaya, lemon and frangipani essences, and complete aftercare. The finishing Valmont Express Facial leaves your inner self beaming with radiance and energy.

Besides the Exclusive Signatures, Face and Body Combinations offer you the best of both worlds. The Absolute Spa Ritual gives you the choice of one of Valmont’s advanced Anti-ageing Facials coupled with a Deep Tissue Massage – an experience of pure relaxation and incredible results.

Once you feel rejuvenated and energised, indulge in one of the hand and foot therapies or even a beauty treatment. Feel revived and ready to spend the rest of your day, enhancing your tan and relaxing by Canaves Oia’s captivating infinity pool.
