3. Wellness Inspired by Ancient Beauty at New Design Spa

CAYO Exclusive Resort & Spa, Crete 

CAYO Exclusive Resort & SPA, which opened for its first full season this week, is Crete’s most stylish new hotel. Perched on its own private swathe of seafront overlooking the charming Elounda Bay, CAYO offers unparalleled access to the island’s tapestry of beaches, historic treasures and hilltop villages – the very landscape that inspired the treatments offered at CAYO’s Armonia Spa. This state-of-the-art relaxation hub takes inspiration from the spiritual, cultural and natural Cretan environment, helping guests disconnect from everyday life and achieve balance between body, mind and spirit.

Ancient Greek women had Aphrodite as their beauty idol (the Goddess of love and beauty) and they cultivated an obsession with wellbeing. The most common products used as basis for their beauty treatments are still used today; salt is used as a natural exfoliant, honey as a healing agent and olive oil as a moisturizer. CAYO Armonia Spa takes these age-old ingredients and applies them using modern, innovative techniques, using them to new potentials. Signature treatments include the Full Body Salt and Olive Oil Scrub, hydrating Aloe Vera Body Mask and Luk Pra Kob, a herbal hot compress massage.

Rooms start from €340 (approx. £310) for a Superior Sea View Room (www.cayoresort.com)
