CAYO is Crete ’ s most stylish new hotel . Perched on its own private swathe of seafront overlooking the charming Elounda Bay , CAYO offers unparalleled access to the island ’ s tapestry of beaches , historic treasures and hilltop villages – the very landscape that inspired the treatments offered at CAYO ’ s Armonia Spa . This state-of-the-art relaxation hub takes inspiration from the spiritual , cultural and natural Cretan environment , helping guests disconnect from everyday life and achieve balance between body , mind and spirit .
Ancient Greek women had Aphrodite as their beauty idol ( the Goddess of love and beauty ), and they cultivated an obsession with wellbeing . The most common products used as basis for their beauty treatments are still used today ; salt is used as a natural exfoliant , honey as a healing agent and olive oil as a moisturiser . CAYO Armonia Spa takes these age-old ingredients and applies them using modern , innovative techniques , using them to new potentials . Signature treatments include the Full Body Salt and Olive Oil Scrub , hydrating Aloe Vero Body Mask and Luk Pra Kob , a herbal hot compress massage .
