affusion shower, with body scrubs, hydration treatments and aqua biking on the agenda for added oomph.
◗ ADDED PIZZAZZ Elsewhere, you’ll find plenty more unusual offerings. Classic Collection Holidays recommends the Anazoe Spa at The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, in Costa Navarino, where treatments are inspired by ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and follow practices inscribed on clay tablets found at the nearby Palace of Nestor. The treatments – which include light therapies, heat treatments in ice grotto rooms and other more offbeat options – are tailored to clients’ needs via everything down to the sound, with ancient Greek melodies accompanying olive-oil massages. Over on Mykonos, Kensho Boutique
Hotel & Suites has a spa known as the ‘Cave’ with rock-boulder walls, a colourful light-up pool and tropical rain bed, plus high-tech sun beds that let users customise the sound, heat and

colour. And in Crete, Daios Cove’s new spa features a thermal suite featuring a Finnish sauna, ‘Ninvea’ reaction showers and a cryotherapy chamber, plus beach cabanas for those looking for a Thai massage by the sea. If it’s more yoga your clients are into,
direct them to the island of Skiathos, where the Skiathos Princess resort offers dedicated ‘Yogafest’ weeks, with freshly picked herbs and reflexology treatments greeting clients at its harmony-giving spa. But it’s the award-winning Hébe Spa
at Columbia Beach Resort in Pissouri Bay, Cyprus, that really stands out, according to Kuoni. It offers body scrubs, wraps and other goodies as well as a plunge pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and more. It’s also the only spa on the island to boast an Elemis Biotec machine – used for super- charged facials that reboot cellular performance, apparently. Combine that with a splash from Aphrodite’s Baths and everlasting youth is all but guaranteed.
