10 of the best Mediterranean spas to experience by superyacht

1. Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, Monaco 

Positioned on the edge of Port Hercule in the superyacht magnet of Monaco, this spa was never going to be anything short of spectacular.

Since reopening in 1995 as a vast thalassotherapy complex within one of the principality’s most iconic buildings, it has been dedicated to advancing and enhancing the wellbeing of its guests through a blend of seawater treatments and cryotherapy, all enjoyed while soaking up the Mediterranean views.

As one of the most yacht-adjacent spas there is, with transfers mere moments away, everything here is designed to complement the superyacht lifestyle, making it an ideal anchor point for South of France yacht charter itineraries and those wishing to visit one of the most revered spas in Monaco.  

2. Capri Palace Jumeirah Medical Spa, Capri 

While Thermes Marins leans into its Monaco location, at Capri Medical Spa the focus is very much on its impressive medical credentials – including its signature Leg School treatment – where regenerative programmes help guests restore balance and optimise their health. 

Its reputation for excellence, paired with the warm welcome that awaits you at one of Capri’s most luxurious hotels, means a stop-off here feels like a natural inclusion in an Amalfi Coast superyacht itinerary.

Edmiston can arrange private dock berths in Marina Grande, with tender transfers safely delivering you to the spa, while our concierge team can secure priority scheduling to minimise your time ashore and help you navigate Capri’s summer crowds.

3. Cheval Blanc Spa, St. Tropez 

One of the most prestigious spa experiences on the French Riviera, the Cheval Blanc simultaneously manages to evoke a sense of the St Tropez of yesteryear, while feeling very much of the moment.

Your concierge team can book you in for exclusive Guerlain treatments available only at a select number of places in the world, while the hotel’s private beach means arriving and departing by tender from your anchored yacht in the bay can be as discreet as you wish.

Ideal for guests seeking Riviera glamour mixed with an authentic approach to wellness, the Cheval Blanc is quite possibly the best spa in St Tropez and most definitely somewhere a young Bridget Bardot would happily be seen at.

4. Bellevue Spa Clinic, Mali Lošinj, Lošinj Island 

Despite this Adriatic retreat drawing on its 150-year heritage as a recognised European health resort, it is decidedly forward-thinking in its approach.

Situated just steps away from the idyllic waters of Ĉikat Bay on the island of Mali Lošinj, Bellevue Spa Clinic is renowned for its cutting-edge therapies, including longevity-focused programmes and ‘sea-tox’ remedies that make the most of the natural setting.

With straightforward tender access to Mali Lošinj harbour, Edmiston can arrange private transfers to the clinic, making this an easy choice for guests seeking genuine restoration on a Croatia yacht charter.

5. Valmont Spa at Bill&Coo Mykonos, Mykonos 

One of the most sumptuous sanctuaries in the Cyclades, offering exclusive treatments amid cocooned, cave-like rooms, Valmont is easily a contender for the best spa in Mykonos.

With a sublime Aegean setting, getting here from Mykonos marina or the island’s principal anchorages is a breeze and Edmiston can arrange private transfers and reserve preferred treatment suites.

An ideal choice for charter guests looking to balance out Mykonos’s busy social scene with some meaningful alone time.

6. Mykonos Grand, Althea Spa Retreat 

Offering something different to the Valmont, the Althea Spa Retreat, just across the sea from the island of Delos, is surrounded by Greek mythology locations, hence its namesake – Althea was the mother of Meleager and her name means ‘to heal’.

The spa’s ‘Touch of Gaia’ treatment, named for another character from Greek mythology – the great primordial goddess, or ‘Mother Earth’ – fittingly sees specialists use local botanicals and island-grown antioxidants to renew and redress guests’ skin. All this takes place while the guest is massaged and soothed from head to toe inside the Spa Jet beauty capsule. A heavenly ritual worthy of the Greek gods, for sure.

7. Six Senses Kaplankaya, Turkey 

An effortless extension for guests cruising from the Greek islands into Bodrum or Göcek, the Turkish outpost of the Six Senses luxury brand provides world-class wellness on the Aegean Turkish coast.

Naturally, the expansive 10,000 square metre spa features a Turkish Hammam, but there’s also a dedicated meditation cave and salt cave, alongside biohacking recovery spaces where guests can test out the spa’s pioneering eco-wellness programming.

For guests looking to immerse themselves in their surroundings, there are also sunrise yoga sessions, plus hikes to ancient archaeological sites where guests can experience a soul-enriching few hours reflecting on all that has gone before them.

8. Six Senses Elounda Spa, Crete 

Set within the Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort, the second Six Senses spa to make our list is one of Greece’s most established luxury wellness destinations, with thalassotherapy pools indoors and outdoors, a holistic approach to healing – even dedicated kid’s experiences.

It has everything one could possibly want to restore harmony in body and soul, from immune-boosting treatments to mind-focused activities and detoxifying yoga – they can even schedule a day of reflection so you can truly tap into what it is you want, deep down.

Accessible from eastern Cretan anchorages, a visit here is a wonderful way to pair shore-based serenity with your onboard wellness facilities for an all-round blissful break from the norm. 

9. SHA Wellness Clinic, Alicante 

Spain’s most celebrated medically-backed wellbeing retreat, the SHA Wellness Clinic is hidden away on a hilltop within the Sierra Helada National Park, ensuring there are no interruptions to your wellness journey.

Here everything is designed to promote longevity and optimal health, with the clinic using all the virtues around it – fresh sea air, calming views and natural light – to help guests reach their full potential.

A relaxing place in which to recover from illness, undergo preventative treatments, or restore your sense of wellbeing, a visit here can be truly transformative and Edmiston’s team is only too happy to arrange transfers for guests on extended Balearics yacht charters or Costa Blanca itineraries.

10. La Réserve de Ramatuelle, St. Tropez

An intimate alternative to Cheval Blanc, for guests seeking maximum discretion on the Riviera, guests can arrive at La Réserve de Ramatuelle by helicopter transfer from their anchored yacht.

Set in the pine-clad hillsides above St Tropez, the atmosphere is also one of total calm – with white, clean, uncluttered interiors, gently rippling waters and billowing curtains helping guests switch off from the outside world from the moment they arrive.

Treatments are led by the Swiss brand Nescens with the female-focused ‘Women’s Better-Aging programme’ particularly recommended.

A purifying escape to help you reset between visiting the fashionable ports of the French Riviera, you won’t regret booking a detour here on your Cote d’Azur yacht charter.
