Because stillness is not a pause—it’s a practice.

Wellness doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it’s found in the way morning light moves through linen curtains, or how a room seems to slow your breathing without asking. The new wellness isn’t about indulgence—it’s about awareness. A state of quiet restoration, where the mind is given just enough space to soften.

This is the approach that shapes every Domes experience—not as a concept layered on top, but as something felt in the architecture, the textures, the pace. A kind of well-being that asks nothing, yet gives everything back, designed not to impress—but to soften. To open a conversation between body and mind.

Wellness Travel Experience as Atmosphere
Each Soma Spa draws from the land it inhabits—Crete’s wild herbs, Corfu’s sea air, the mineral textures of Milos—and transforms these into rituals of renewal. But wellness here is not defined by treatments alone. It lives in the morning silence of a private terrace, in the soft linen of a daybed, in the way time stretches over an infinity pool with no agenda.

Guests are not offered an escape, but a mindful reconnection.

Hotel Spa Designed to Slow You Down
Everything here moves with intention. Curved paths meander rather than direct. Rooms open to the elements, letting light and air shift naturally through the day. Materials are chosen not to impress, but to ground—clay, stone, linen, olive wood—textures that ask to be felt. There’s no visual clutter, no sharp transitions. Just a quiet sense that the outside world can wait.

Wellness isn’t something to book into, but something that unfolds. Consultants are available not just for treatments, but to help shape an approach to the day: how you eat, how you move, how you rest. It might begin with a massage, or it might not. It could be a breathwork session, or the simple act of doing nothing at all, uninterrupted. There’s no pressure to optimise—just permission to return to what feels right.

The Four Moods of SOMA Spa
Across the Soma Spa portfolio, wellness unfolds in four curated moods: The Finest, The Refined, The Amuse, and The Blissful. Each is a world of its own—carefully composed to reflect a different rhythm of restoration. Whether the goal is regal stillness, quiet refinement, playful energy, or pure indulgence, the experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

At The Finest, located exclusively within the Panoramic Wing of Domes Miramare, Corfu, and the newly opened 91 Athens Riviera, spa culture is elevated to its purest form. In this serene coastal retreat, percussive therapies blend seamlessly with Augustinus Bader facials, while saunas, steam baths, and ice fountains compose a sensory rhythm between tension and release. Every detail—curated with intention—reflects a philosophy of understated sophistication: luxury not in excess, but in precision. A sanctuary crafted for those who seek depth, not noise.

Following this purity of form, The Refined is centered on authentic balance—where cutting‑edge science meets age‑old ritual. Available at Domes Zeen Chania, Domes of Elounda and Domes of Corfu, Domes Lake Algarve and extended to Domes Novos Santorini, this concept combines ELEMIS and Codage treatments with advanced techniques like micro‑current muscle stimulation and aromatherapeutic massage. Set in serene, light‑filled spaces, each spa features indoor pools, saunas, and floor‑to‑ceiling vistas—over lush olive groves in Crete and Corfu, and the volcanic‑scarred Aegean in Santorini. Every ritual is thoughtfully crafted, guiding guests toward harmony through timeless care and modern precision.

The Amuse invites you into the brighter, more spontaneous side of wellness—sunlit, social, and suited to post-beach or post-party recovery. Found at Domes Noruz Chania, Domes Noruz Kassandra, and Domes Noruz Mykonos, this playful sanctuary celebrates Crete’s and the Cyclades’ sun-drenched energy. With treatments like glow-enhancing facials, body-melting massages, and detox rituals powered by ELEMIS and Codage Paris, each session starts with joyful gestures and an upbeat atmosphere. There’s no formality here—only vibrant, social wellness designed for spontaneous adventures, ensuring you feel refreshed and radiant, no matter how the day unfolds.

And then there’s The Blissful—rooted in comfort, warmth, and grounding simplicity. Found at Domes Aulūs Elounda, and Domes Aulūs Zante, this concept is designed for deep rest and renewal. Expect warm oil rituals, tension-releasing massage, and calming interiors that invite stillness without distraction. Treatments draw from both modern techniques and traditional touch therapies, creating space for a slower breath, a deeper exhale, and an effortless return to self.

Slow Living in a World That Moves Too Fast
In a world that often turns rest into a task, what’s offered here feels refreshingly simple: space. Not just the physical kind, but mental space—unstructured, unrushed, and free from the need to justify itself.

The new hospitality wellness? Not just what we do, but how we feel. Less a pursuit, more a quiet return to balance.
