Nobu Hotel Santorini is venturing into uncharted territory with the launch of its highly anticipated ‘Holistic Astrology Retreat.’ This innovative retreat, curated in collaboration with celebrated fragrance designer Veronique Gabai, promises to be a transformative experience that bridges the mystical world of astrology with the therapeutic power of scent, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Santorini.
A Symphony of Scent and Stars
The ‘Holistic Astrology Retreat’ is more than just a getaway; it’s a profound journey of self-discovery and wellbeing. Inspired by the celestial dance of the stars and planets, this retreat aims to harmonize mind, body, and soul through personalized zodiac experiences and the enchanting power of fragrance.
Veronique Gabai, a revered name in the world of perfumery, has meticulously crafted a range of scents tailored to the unique energies of each zodiac sign. Her AROMA range, which she affectionately calls ‘Perfume Therapy™,’ has been scientifically proven to elevate mood by up to 58%. These bespoke fragrances, paired with the tranquil ambience of Nobu Hotel Santorini, promise a rejuvenating retreat that aligns with the cosmic energies of fire, water, earth, and air signs.
Gabai expresses her excitement, saying: “Being by the Mediterranean Sea feels like returning home. The light, the blue hues, the serene water, and the gentle wind—all of these elements bring a sense of healing and joy, which I aim to capture in my perfumes. This retreat allows us to explore how these celestial energies resonate with our fragrances in a truly immersive experience.”
Tailored Wellness Experiences
The retreat is designed to cater to the individual needs of each guest, aligning with their astrological profile. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a personalized fragrance from Gabai’s collection, thoughtfully matched to their zodiac sign by the renowned AstroTwins. This initial gift sets the tone for a deeply personalized journey, where every detail is meticulously crafted to resonate with the guest’s unique astrological characteristics.
One of the retreat’s standout features is the customized Zodiac spa treatments. Each guest receives an in-room massage tailored to their zodiac sign, ensuring a therapeutic experience that not only relaxes the body but also realigns the chakras and soothes the soul. Complementing this are the Astro Sundowners—bespoke cocktails or mocktails crafted to match each star sign’s personality and the ingredients of their personalized scent. Whether it’s the invigorating Pisces Spritz or the fiery Leo Picante, these drinks offer a sensory celebration of the stars.
Embracing the Celestial Landscape
Nobu Hotel Santorini’s serene location in Imerovigli, often referred to as ‘The Balcony to the Aegean,’ provides the perfect setting for this celestial retreat. Situated away from the bustling tourist spots of Oia and Fira, the hotel offers an oasis of calm and an unparalleled vantage point for stargazing. Following an exquisite Omakase dinner at the Nobu Restaurant, guests are invited to unwind under the stars with a peaceful stargazing session, accompanied by calming teas and mesmerizing views of the night sky.
Connecting with Nature and Local Culture
The retreat also encourages guests to connect with the natural beauty and rich culture of Santorini. Through a partnership with local experts, Santorini Walking Tours, Nobu Hotel offers invigorating hikes that cater to various fitness levels, allowing guests to explore the island’s unique flora and fauna. These hikes are designed to provide not just physical exercise, but also a deeper connection to the island’s natural landscapes.
A visit to the award-winning Sigalas Winery is another highlight of the retreat. Here, guests can indulge in a sensory journey through Santorini’s unique wines, discovering the intricate flavors and the traditional winemaking techniques that make this region’s wine so special. This experience is paired with dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, offering a true taste of the island’s culinary heritage.
Aggelos Manioudakis, General Manager of Nobu Hotel Santorini, emphasizes the retreat’s unique offerings: “Through our partnership with Veronique Gabai for the Holistic Astrology Retreat, we aim to provide a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with themselves and the universe. Our location in Imerovigli, away from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded areas, offers the perfect environment for stargazing and introspection, allowing our guests to find inner harmony and wellbeing.”
