If you’re planning a trip to the Mediterranean this year, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a few days of pampering and relaxation at some of the world’s top spa destinations. Several hotels and resorts in the Mediterranean are home to spas with ocean views, private saunas, and top-floor treatment rooms. Here’s where you’ll find some of our favorite spas in the Mediterranean.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum, Turkey
It’s no secret that Mandarin Oriental spas are some of the best in the world but the one in Bodrum, Turkey, is truly exceptional. This spa offers eight treatment rooms with two spa suits and you can settle in to a private cabana to enjoy views of the Aegean Sea. A private spa suite on the top floor can be reserved for special occasions and features its own hammam. An outdoor pool is nestled in the hills around the resort, giving you the ultimate sanctuary experience.
Anazoe Spa at The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino, Greece
Enjoy the ultimate retreat for the mind, body, and soul at this rejuvenation destination in beautiful Costa Navarino. The spa is famous for its Oleotherapy services — treatments that incorporate olive oil and traditional spa techniques that date back hundreds of years. It’s one of the most breathtaking destinations in Greece and well worth a visit, even for a single day.
The Elounda Spa & Thalassotherapy at Blue Palace, Crete, Greece
Another spa destination in Greece is at this luxury resort. The spa specializes in treatments that enhance your health using the healing properties of the sea. You can relax in one the thalassotherapy pools or take hydro massage bath with sea water to experience the healing power of water for yourself. This is a popular couple’s resort but you can treat yourself to a spa day at this upscale bathhouse solo for a pampering escape.
