They are balanced to include healthy fats and most of the natural ingredients are locally grown including many herbs used. The cuisine is Mediterranean with a Peloponnese slant.

Beautiful spa in a beautiful location.
Gail Youd
The place was beautiful, the weather not great (not their fault!) . I felt a bit frustrated with the lack of feedback from tests and consultation (as promised) perhaps this will come in the next few weeks ?

They were on my side negotiating the best deal for me

Top class hotel hotel and setting, stunning view from the restaurant's terrace. Luxurious spa with lots of facilities and a huge variety of treatments. Delicious and healthy (although possibly not very Greek) food. Talented and helpful staff.

A beautiful experience, stunning location, so helpful, Great yoga and treatments, amazing food., lovely staff. Just need to tweak a few things to make it perfect- such as really clearly explaining the programme when you arrive. Explaining when you need to fast, why they are taking urine samples, the order treatments are in etc. They need to provide more information in the room about how to use the technology in the room. And the food was fantastic but I would have liked to understand why I was being given particular dishes (it seemed fairly similar to what everyone was getting just on different days).
There was so much information given at the end but it was hard to determine what I should implement at home as I can’t address all the pieces in the reports.

This is simply the best spa we have ever been to.
The staff, therapists and overall atmosphere were first rate.
Every detail has been thought through to create a very special and healing atmosphere.
We will certainly be going back as it was really first rate.

Have been to Kamalaya and really didn't think anywhere else could compare. Eurphoria did. There were a few issues around anonymity. I was left feeling that everyone at the spa knew my business and when I took a therapy session it was as if everyone knew which made me very uncomfortable. Privacy should be absolutely paramount.
