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 hair salon, heated indoor pool, a plunge pool, a tepidarium, caldarium, sauna, stunning sea views and 23 treatment rooms. An exclusive private spa area, dubbed the Spring Suite, can also be reserved. 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 the natural inclination to concentrate on the treatment and instead let the mind let go of stress in order to reach a deep state of calm. Other staples include the Six Senses SLOW LIFE treatments, sensory therapies, facial and massage services, body polishes, ready-made and mother-to-be packages and aromatherapy Ayurvedic rituals.
The Fitness Gymnasium, designed for both aerobic and weightlifting workouts, features a bevy of aerobic and weight lifting equipment. Personal training, yoga, Pilates and tai chi are also available.
