Mykonos has a special place in my heart. Is it the island’s majestic beaches like Ornos and Psarou or nightclubs (Cavo Paradiso and Semeli) that attract me to this lovely island in the Cyclades, I am not quite sure. While many tourists visit Mykonos to spend their vacation days on the beach or dress to the nines and dance the night away in one of the nightclubs, others visit Mykonos to unwind and relax from the busy 9 to 5 daily grind.

The good news is that Mykonos has some of the best spas in all of Greece. Some of these places specialize in massages, while others focus on other healing treatments that can rejuvenate one’s body and soul. So, without further ado, here is my guide to the best spas in Mykonos.

Relax and Unwind: Best Spas in Mykonos

Why Mykonos is a Top Destination for Luxury Spa Experiences

A Natural Island for Relaxation

The Island’s natural beauty provides an ideal setting for unwinding with a massage and enjoying spectacular views of the Aegean Sea at the same time. Although the island is known as a party hub, it is also a wellness destination where travelers can reconnect with their body and soul by enjoying different treatments. There are many things to do on a rainy day in Mykonos, and a visit to a spa center is one of them.  

World-Class Resorts with Awesome Spa Facilities

The island is home to many Mykonos villas and spectacular resorts. Most of these upscale resorts have their own private spa centers that can rival those in countries such as Bali and Thailand. But these resorts don’t just do massages and manicures. They offer a variety of facilities and treatments, from open-air yoga sessions and thalassotherapy treatments to Finnish saunas and hydrotherapy pools,

Treatments Using Natural Ingredients

Some spa centers on Mykonos incorporate ancient Greek methods into various treatments. What I like most is that they use local ingredients such as olive oil, rosemary, lavender, and other herbs for treatments.

Mykonos is a Destination for Holistic Wellness

Another reason why Mykonos is probably one of the best destinations for a luxury spa experience is the fact that many spa facilities offer holistic wellness programs. What this means is that apart from traditional massages and other spa treatments, you can enjoy a range of wellness activities such as detox programs, meditation classes, beachfront yoga at sunrise/sunset, and much more.
