The property’s extensive 1,500sqm Spa at Mandarin Oriental is inspired by the MOHG’s oriental traditions and the surrounding Greek flora.

A peaceful space, it a 25m swimming pool, which traverses from indoors to outdoors. There is a hammam, mineral and herbal steam rooms, and an olive view sauna for detoxifying experiences. There are also hydrotherapy experience showers and a plunge pool.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental features indoor treatment rooms as well as specially designed outdoor pavilions.
