The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino
Setting foot inside The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino is like stumbling upon the mythical island of Ogygia. Like something out of Greek mythology, the spa’s stunning use of natural materials makes it feel like an ancient cave, while wall-to-wall windows bathe the space in an ethereal natural light with impossibly gorgeous views to match. Rest assured, the fantasy is real.
Thanks to the hotel chain’s Asian roots, the spa features a Zen-inducing blend of East-meets-West in its sumptuous services. Locally sourced botanicals feature in fragrant facials and body treatments designed to soothe both mind and body, while qi-inspired massages align your energy to leave you feeling calm and centered.
A host of visiting wellness practitioners readily imparts wisdom onto willing pupils and a spectacular indoor-outdoor pool allows you to soak up those views like Calypso in her mythical seaside cave.
- The centerpiece of the Costa Navarino spa is the stunning indoor-outdoor pool. Surrounded by wall-to-wall windows overlooking the bay, the pool is a serene spot for a post-treatment dip.
- Looking for a little extra pampering? Add a hammam experience to your spa day to soak up the rejuvenating benefits of full-body exfoliation and hydration.
- Treatments feature a combination of top-notch skincare products from the likes of Aromatherapy Associates, Oskia, 111Skin and Mandarin Oriental’s own spa line.
- Be sure to arrive early to enjoy the Costa Navarino spa’s hydrotherapy circuit. Spend some time in the olive sauna, mineral and floral steam room, plunge pool, vitality tub and outdoor relaxation lounge to set the scene for your pampering service.
- Fitness buffs will have no problem squeezing in a workout at this luxurious resort. An indoor-outdoor gym features high-tech equipment and stunning views, while a host of personal trainers and specialists are on hand for one-on-one yoga, Pilates, weightlifting, hiking or any other activity you might want to try.
- Treat your skin to a Grecian holiday with the signature Natural Balance facial. A mix of fragrant botanicals like eucalyptus, mandarin, orange and basil lend their olfactory and topical healing power. It’s topped off with a head and hair service.
- The locally inspired Botanical Rescue grounds you with a meditation and foot ritual before giving your weary body a honey and Cretan olive stone scrub, an olive oil-enhanced massage and a rejuvenating vitamin C facial.
- Based on the four pillars of ancient Hellenic medicine, the three-hour Reviving Asclepeia treatment is a transformative experience for relieving pent-up stress. Start with a salt bath and skin brushing with mineral Gaia powder, followed by a chamomile-infused olive oil massage, a crystal healing session and a final send-off with a cup of medicinal tea packed with 40 native herbs.
- Skincare devotees can find a collection of results-oriented offerings, including 111Skin’s Black Diamond Non-Surgical Lift Facial and Oskia’s Revitalizing Super C Facial. Both services are designed to leave skin with a supple, youthful glow.
