La Mer Resort & Spa Honored for Spa Excellence & Sustainability
The La Mer Resort & Spa, owned by the Gelasakis Group, was honored with two awards at this year’s Tourism Awards 2023 ceremony held recently at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Athens.
Organized by Boussias Events for the 10th year, the Tourism Awards recognized Greece’s tourism pioneers for 2023.
The five-star La Mer Resort & Spa located in Kavros, Crete, won the GOLD award in the Spa hotel/resort category, with its Ariadne Spa Center offering a rejuvenating wellness experience with signature treatments and Cretan time-honored detoxing ingredients and herbs.
The spa center is managed by Aegeo Spas, a company with 25 years of experience in the field of wellness and management of spa and thalassotherapy centers.
