Why our facials

The Gua Sha method

Our signature facials use the ancient Chinese Gua Sha technique — known for its anti-ageing effects and natural facelift capabilities: improved circulation, reduced puffiness and a radiant, youthful complexion.

Professional facial products

Choose your product line at no extra cost: Germaine de Capuccini from Spain, Thalgo from Paris, or P for Pelion natural Greek products — all professional, all included in the price.

In a luxury suite

The VIP Guasha Face & Eyes is taken in our private luxury suite, paired with a foot, hand and shoulder massage while your mask works — ninety unhurried minutes.

What is Gua Sha?

An ancient stone ritual, a modern glow

Gua Sha — literally “to scrape sand” — is a centuries-old Chinese technique in which a smooth, flat stone is glided gently along the skin. On the face, these slow strokes boost circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage and release tension held in the jaw, brow and temples — which is why the skin looks visibly fresher and more sculpted afterwards.

Who is it for?

Almost everyone. Gua Sha is gentle, non-invasive and suitable for all skin types — especially loved for morning puffiness, dull or tired skin and a tense jaw. It is not recommended over active breakouts or irritated, very sensitive skin; if in doubt, just tell your therapist and we will adapt the treatment for you.

Reflexology applied to the face: precise pressure on reflex points that correspond to the whole body.

It is deeply relaxing while also improving circulation in the facial tissue, so the skin looks brighter afterwards.

A wonderful option for guests who love reflexology but want to stay dressed and simply lie back.

Tired eyes?

Add the 30-minute No-More-Tired-Eyes treatment (€40) — a specialised Gua Sha massage for the eye area that reduces dark circles and puffiness — to any facial.

Read the full description

A focused treatment for the delicate eye area: puffiness, dark circles and the fatigue that shows first around the eyes.

Cooling products, precise lymphatic drainage and light acupressure around the orbital bone reduce swelling and soften expression lines.

Especially effective after flights, screens and short nights.

How long to book

Thirty minutes covers the express detox, forty-five the Radiance & Glow, sixty the Anti-Ageing Face Lift or face reflexology. The VIP Guasha ritual takes a devoted ninety.

After your facial

Freshly treated skin is sensitive — we suggest skipping sunbathing and heavy makeup for the rest of the day, and letting the glow speak for itself.
