About Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort
The Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort overlooks an expanse of manicured greens, native carob and olive trees and the Bay of Mirabello and reflects its Cretan heritage in its design: whitewashed buildings with walls carved of rock and indigenous antique furnishings and folk art. In addition to water sports, tennis, golf, and a children's program, its special offerings include a Six Senses spa that specializes in both beauty and holistic treatments; the thalassotherapy (seawater) program is a particular highlight at this location.

The focal point of the Six Senses Spa is the authentic Turkish hammam, clad entirely in pink marble; the spa also has a heated indoor pool, a plunge pool, and a sauna. Among the beauty, health, and wellness services on the spa menu is a signature treatment called The Sensory Spa Journey. Along with a variation of a four-handed massage by two therapists. It includes a luxurious footbath, an aromatherapy massage, a cleansing facial, and a stress-relieving scalp massage. Its unusual sequence is meant to overcome your natural inclination to concentrate on the treatment and instead let your mind let go of stress so that you reach a deep state of calm.
The thalasso therapies include a seaweed slimming wrap and air jet baths in seawater and oils. Among the other services offered are reiki, ear candling, Balinese massage, and a Renew Rose Anti-Age facial. The Fitness Gymnasium is designed for both aerobic and weightlifting workouts.
