Every so often, you just have to splurge on a spa experience. I am talking about the type of spa where you get a massage on a beach in front of crystal clear water. The type of a spa where you are so relaxed, you cannot even begin to think about returning to normal life. The multiple retreats of the Six Sense rejuvenation centers are just such a place.

Six Senses are part of multiple resorts in the world, to wit, they act as the spa section of larger resort destinations. . The company offers an over the top spa experience designed to leave you in a state of pure bliss. The spas get their name from their philosophy of treating all six of your sense. The first three senses are touch, sound and sight. The next two are taste and smell. The final one is the elation felt when the previous five are balanced. This balancing effort is achieved through a variety of treatments such as full body Indian massages, holistic cleansings and detoxifiers. The settings, however, are what really set Six Senses apart.

The Six Senses in Crete is a site to behold, relaxing in and of itself. Located at Porto Elounda, the spa is located on a hilltop overlooking the bay of Elounda.
