Discover Ancient Healing and Modern Luxury on the Athens Riviera
Looking for the perfect blend of luxury, history, and holistic wellness on your next getaway? The newly renovated Cape Sounio Resort, nestled at the southern tip of the Athens Riviera, has just launched its exclusive Elevations of Wellness programme—an experience that promises to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul in a breathtaking Mediterranean setting.
Why Cape Sounio Resort is Your Next Must-Visit Wellness Destination
Just a 30-minute drive from the heart of Athens, the Athens Riviera offers all the allure of the Greek islands—crystal-clear waters, sun-drenched coastlines, and world-class cuisine—without the crowds. At its most iconic point lies Cape Sounio, famed for the ancient Temple of Poseidon and sweeping views of the Aegean Sea. Here, Cape Sounio Resort stands as a beacon of Greek hospitality, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with modern comfort.
Introducing the Elevations of Wellness Programme
Designed by internationally renowned osteopath and author Vicky Vlachonis, a trusted wellness expert to celebrities, the Elevations of Wellness programme is unlike any spa experience you’ve ever tried. Drawing from ancient Greek healing rituals, this initiative focuses on holistic well-being, combining therapeutic touch with the healing powers of nature and tradition.
- Moving Cupping Therapy: Relieve muscle tension and improve circulation using time-honoured cupping techniques.
- Craniosacral Therapy: Gentle, hands-on methods help release nervous system tension, fostering deep relaxation and clarity.
- Reflexology: Stimulate pressure points on your feet, hands, and ears to restore balance and boost energy.
- Lymphatic Massage: Increase circulation and reduce fluid retention for a lighter, revitalised feel.
- Deep-Tissue Massage: Experience the soothing effects of Greek cupping and warm arnica-infused olive oil.
- Visualization Meditation Massage: A full-body, rhythmic treatment using mindset coaching and breathwork to dissolve stress.
Ancient Traditions, Modern Healing
Every treatment at Cape Sounio Resort’s spa is inspired by the wisdom of ancient Greece. Begin your day with dry brushing and a shot of olive oil from Vlachonis’s own brand, Saint Supply (a favourite of celebrities and investors like Beyoncé), and let the ritual set the tone for a day of holistic wellness.
For those seeking radiant skin, the spa also offers facials curated by the world-renowned Dr. Barbara Sturm. The signature “Sturmglow Facial” blends meticulous cleansing, exfoliation, and massage for a luminous, vacation-ready complexion.
A Sacred Setting Steeped in History
Cape Sounio Resort is more than a luxury retreat—it’s a destination with soul. Built on an archaeological site with panoramic sea views and a direct connection to Greek mythology, the environment itself becomes part of the healing journey. As Vlachonis puts it, “The energy here is magical. There’s no other place like it in Greece.”
Wellness Without Restriction
Unlike traditional wellness retreats that limit pleasure, Elevations of Wellness celebrates joy, balance, and sensory delight. Enjoy gourmet Greek cuisine at one of the resort’s eight restaurants, with menus designed around fresh, local ingredients—many sourced from Cape Sounio’s own gardens. After a nature hike to the Temple of Poseidon or a restorative treatment, relax on the beach with a glass of local wine. Here, wellness is about embracing happiness as much as healing and history.
Plan Your Greek Riviera Escape
With its exceptional location, expert-designed wellness offerings, and a celebration of both ancient and modern luxury, Cape Sounio Resort is the Athens Riviera’s best-kept secret for discerning travellers. The new Elevations of Wellness programme is attracting global attention—so whether you’re seeking physical renewal, mental clarity, or just a taste of the good life, now is the perfect time to book your stay.
