luxurious sun-soaked spas
There's only one thing better than a luxurious spa break, and that, of course, is a
luxurious sun-soaked spa break. And with spa holidays very much en vogue, it seems
more and more holidaymakers are booking up such deluxe resorts in a bid to alleviate
the stresses and strains of everyday life. As fans of the 'relax and rejuvenate' lifestyle,
a few of us from insideKENT were lucky enough to stay at these two blissful picks!
Poseidon Spa, St. Nicolas Bay Hotel, Crete
If you're in need of some serious rest and
relaxation, a trip to the Poseidon Spa at Crete's
prestigious St. Nicolas Bay Hotel will tick all of
the boxes. This Grecian spa offers a wide array
of facial and body treatments, each of which are
executed by highly trained Elemis and Cinq
Mondes therapists.
From detox body scrubs and oriental massage,
to anti-aging and holistic pampering packages,
the Poseidon Spa effectively looks at combining
a superb range of advanced anti-aging
formulations, plus scientific phytotherapy, natural
seawater therapies and aroma therapeutic spa
and skincare formulations.
A tranquil setting renowned for its bespoke
services, the spa's treatment rooms are ultimately
planned with clients' comfort in mind. Such
options include a luxurious space complete with
a Jacuzzi tub and affusion shower; the Aphrodite’s
Bath, a treatment cave for two next to the sea
with a seawater thalassotherapy pool, hydro jets
and bubble loungers; the Blue Room, a serene
spot with a private veranda overlooking Mirabello
Bay; and finally, the Stone Suite, a private room
for two complete with a built-in Jacuzzi and
relaxation area. Alternatively, guests can opt for
the greatest indulgence and book a massage
and other treatments to be performed in the
privacy of their suite's terrace.
In addition, Poseidon Spa boasts an indoor
heated pool with hydro jets, bubble seats and a
relaxation area; marble Turkish steam baths and
