The Products used at Spa Na Colina are inspired by Africa, the ocean and our commitment to nature. Our aromatherapy oils are infused with the benefits of aroma healing with African notes.

For thousands of years, the powers of the sea have been renowned for their role in revitalising, rebalancing and healing the body. In the 19th Century the French became the specialists in sea water based cures coined “Thalassothapy”. In 1964 the Thalgo brand was created as a mixed concept to Thalassothapy and Algotherapy. Thalgo draws on the formidable potential of algae concentrating on the natural ingredients giving lasting, visible results. As the undisputed experts in Marine Intelligence, Thalgo offers unique treatment experiences and optimum effectiveness.

Made in Africa, for Africa, with a focus on ancient aromatherapy philosophies and the lip-soluble nature of essential oils, the Cspa brand awakens a yearning of total skin and body wellness. Concentrating on feeling and emotions the aromatherapy journeys taken with these products are tailored to your individual needs and desires.

Indulge in our signature treatment using local monkey apples to ground and balance the body or add a simple splash of fun colour to your nails. Each guest is treated to a welcoming foot ritual before every treatment. Unique to Spa na Colina, Santorini’s Signature Treatment is designed with specific massage movements that mimic the waves of the ocean in slow, long flowing movement to create a deep sense of relaxation and peace. A full body treatment by Nella or Mira with aromatherapy oils, hot stones and mini facial, is a treatment that is the ultimate piece of heaven.
