An In-Depth Look at the Experience

Ease of Booking and Arrival

One of the biggest perks of this experience is the flexible booking policy with free cancellation up to 24 hours upfront. This means you can reserve your spot without immediate commitment, which is especially helpful if your plans are still fluid. On the day of your spa, a driver will pick you up from the hotel, making the transition smooth and stress-free. The meeting point at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites is easy to find, located just on the outskirts of Akrotiri, with helpful staff guiding you upon arrival.

The Ride and the Venue

Traveling to Akrotiri from popular spots like Fira or Oia takes about 20-30 minutes by car, making it a manageable trip for those staying in central Santorini. The actual spa is housed within the Santorini Zen Spa, which overlooks the caldera view and provides a serene backdrop for your relaxation. The outdoor pool area promises a tranquil setting with sunbeds, umbrellas, and fresh linen, ideal for lounging after your treatments.

The Spa Treatments

The core of this experience is the massage options. Guests can choose between a 30-minute or 60-minute aromatherapy massage, tailored to relax or soothe specific tensions. It’s worth noting that, according to reviews, the first available therapist will be assigned, but you can request a male or female therapist during booking—though additional charges (around 50 euros per hour) may apply for such requests.

The treatments are designed for group sharing, making it perfect for friends or family. The massages include a brief 10-minute window for changing and showering, so plan accordingly. While the treatments are not suitable for pregnant women or those with active cancer (who can opt for the Rejuvenance Face massage), they provide a natural relief from sunburn effects and body tension.

Another pointed out the value: “The combination of a massage, pool access, and free drinks made it feel like a real treat without breaking the bank.” The availability of pool beds, umbrellas, and fresh towels makes it feel like a true sanctuary, not just a quick spa stop.

Who Is This Experience Best For?

This spa break is ideal for groups of friends or couples looking for a shared relaxation experience. It’s perfect if you want to wind down after sightseeing, or if you’re in need of a gentle pampering session before returning home. The flexibility of the timing and the casual, laid-back environment make it especially appealing for those who prefer a non-rushed, private day of indulgence.

However, it’s not suitable for children under 16, pregnant women, or those with certain health conditions. If you seek a quick, adult-oriented escape with the added bonus of outdoor pool access and refreshing drinks, this package offers excellent value.
