Luxury Travel Advisor - December 2008 - (Page 46) SPAS BLUE PALACE is a sanctuary three miles outside the village of Elounda. GREECE SPAS A FOUR-POSTER BED is a whimsical touch in the Royal Blue Villa master bedroom at Blue Palace. Six Senses Spa at Porto Elounda De Luxe Resort (www.portoeloun da.com), which sprawls along the seaside of Elounda, Crete, began welcoming guests in 2006. The spa focuses on a holistic approach to health and well-being, with guests embarking on individual “spa journeys” that stimulate all five senses—and beyond, insiders say. The signature Holistic Massage, Sense of Greece Journey and Royal Elixir are among the most frequently requested services. The spa’s extensive menu of treatments includes Greek, Asian, facial, body and massage therapies, and an entire section is set aside just for the guys. (Kids’ treatments are available, too, on a more limited basis.) Spa Director Elli Soumaki (spamanager@elounda-sa.com; 011-30-28410-68000) oversees the facility, which is adding a new menu of detoxifying treatments this winter. Guests choose from Release, a classic detoxifying program combining nutrition, treatments and exercise to facilitate cleansing and improve overall well-being; Rejuvenate, which relies on yoga and t’ai chi and select soft-touch treatments to aide in relaxation and renewed energy; and Reinvent, the aim of which is weight loss through specialized treatments, cuisine and fitness routines.
