Rejuvenate inMykonos Comprising secret escapes, luxury restaurants, hidden spas and designer beach clubs, the Greek island of Mykonos looks set to provide the perfect summer getaway. by Julia Zaltzman T he sunny Greek island of Mykonos forms part of the Cyclades group of islands in the Aegean Sea. A bohemian mecca and one of the glitziest, most renowned tourist destinations in the country, Mykonos is home to sandy beaches and rocky outlets, a rugged landscape that is beautifully echoed by Kenshō Spa’s rock-boulder walls and colour-lit pool. Affectionately known as the Cave, the Kenshō Spa is undoubtedly one of the coolest in Europe. It is central to Kenshō Boutique Hotel’s five- star allure, a hideaway that overlooks Ornos Bay, a spectacular location near Mykonos’ town centre. Each of Kenshō's ten suites and 25 rooms feature locally sourced natural materials and are built using traditional techniques from the surrounding area. Authentic furniture from distinguished designers such as Kenneth Cobonpue and Patricia Urquiola add an individual touch to each room. Whether looking to experience a massage, exfoliation, body wrap, beauty treatment or some quality personal time, Kenshō Spa provides an awakening retreat of relaxation and rejuvenation and redefines the modern spa experience. A holistic approach to wellness aligns mind, body, and spirit in perfect harmony with the skin. Guests are invited to float away in the Spa Verandah Bath Tub, to relish classic and modern massages and nail services, and to remain forever young with anti-ageing and facial treatments. Tropical rain beds and massage chairs lull guests into a serene state of mind, while state-of-the-art sun beds enable guests to adjust the colour, sound and heat therapy to their liking. Top billing is reserved for the sand massage table, starring Kenshō’s Psammo Spa Concept. Psammo, meaning sand in Greek, draws on traditional healing methods used since ancient times; the sand's gentle warmth promotes physical and mental relaxation while boosting the body’s metabolism.
