Aurora Spa embraces the restorative spirit of its namesake — the Roman goddess of dawn — with a serene sanctuary that feels worlds away from Santorini's bustling caldera villages. Tucked within Sandblu Santorini, LXR Hotels & Resorts, the contemporary wellness retreat pairs understated Cycladic design with a holistic approach to relaxation, where pale stone, natural textures and soft light create an atmosphere of quiet renewal.
Tailored treatments, which feature renowned skincare brands 111SKIN and ESPA, span restorative massages, results-driven facials and bespoke rituals. Beyond the treatment rooms, wellness unfolds at an indoor, temperature-controlled pool overlooking the Aegean Sea, alongside sauna and steam facilities.
Yoga, meditation and movement classes at the neighboring Nous & Sóma fitness center complement the spa's restorative philosophy, while a full-service beauty salon rounds out the experience. The result is a polished wellness retreat that pairs with Santorini's quieter southeastern coastline.
- Aurora Spa is one of the few Santorini spas to build much of its treatment program around London-based 111SKIN — a fitting partnership given that the brand’s founder, Dr Yannis Alexandrides, is an Athens native.
- Make time to linger by the indoor pool. Aegean views are a given, but the serene minimalism (smooth gray marble walls and clean white pool deck) creates a grounded, cave-like environment, while Santorini blue towels provide a fun pop of color that mirrors the island’s signature rooftops.
- Wellness routines continue at Nous & Sóma (Greek for “mind” and “body”), Sandblu’s two-story fitness center, where Technogym equipment, Pilates reformers, and yoga and meditation sessions provide a more active complement to Aurora’s restorative treatments.
- The Santorini spa tends to blend traditional therapies with contemporary elements to provide the best results. Treatments such as the Thai yoga massage combine assisted stretching with oil massage to improve flexibility, while the ESPA Natural Face Lift incorporates kobido massage, facial workouts and jade rollers for a non-invasive lifting effect.
- Beyond the pool, thermal facilities extend to classic sauna and steam, alongside cold-water rainforest showers.
- The 90-minute Rose Gold Radiance Facial layers 111SKIN's brightening formulas with deep facial massage, a wrinkle-minimizing wand and rose quartz crystals to contour, soothe and enhance luminosity.
- ESPA's Inner Calm Massage blends aromatherapy with crystal therapy. Guided breathwork, a personalized full-body massage and a scalp treatment using rose quartz crystals create a restorative ritual that addresses both physical tension and mental fatigue.
- Working through the lymphatic system to detoxify and refresh, 111SKIN’s Cryo Detox Recovery Treatment helps to ease and soothe weathered legs and aching muscles. Through a bespoke massage, target areas are invigorated, drained and enriched with fresh nutrients while the skim is simultaneously firmed.
