Retreat to the verdant hills close to the Byzantine city of Sparta to soak up a plethora of rejuvenating treatments. Facials, body wraps and massages at the Laconium Spa are delivered with nature and the philosophy of the Spartans in mind; standouts with the allure of the skin cell-renewing coffee body wrap set the tone. The aura of the geography seeps into Mystras’s design – its range of guest rooms suites marry twinkling colours to rustic finishes. And they boast up-to-the-minute tech gadgets to really draw you in.
