Agia Pelagia · Crete · Mediterranean resort spa
Out of the Blue Resort & Spa occupies a private peninsula at Agia Pelagia in Crete. The property appears in The Spa Traveller Awards archive under its earlier Capsis Elite Resort identity, so this profile preserves the historic recognition while using the current resort name.
At a glance
Setting: private peninsula at Agia Pelagia, Crete
Style: large Mediterranean resort with spa and leisure facilities
Best for: beach-and-spa stays, families, couples and longer resort holidays
Historic name: Capsis Elite Resort
Why visit
The appeal is the combination of a coastal resort setting with dedicated spa time rather than a standalone wellness retreat. The peninsula location gives guests easy access to sea views, pools, gardens and resort facilities while keeping treatment and relaxation options close at hand.
Spa and wellbeing
The current spa offer is best approached as part of the wider resort stay. Hydrotherapy, body treatments, massage and beauty services have historically formed the core of the wellness proposition, alongside pool and leisure facilities. Because the resort has changed naming and branding over time, the live treatment menu should be checked before planning around a specific facility or therapy.
Historic award context
The Spa Traveller Awards archive names Out of the Blue Capsis Elite Resort. This page links that historic recognition to the current resort identity without implying that every facility, operator or treatment remains unchanged from the award period.
Who it suits
Best for travellers who want spa time within a full Mediterranean resort holiday rather than a programme-led wellness retreat. It can work particularly well for mixed-interest groups where some guests prioritise the beach and resort while others want treatments and relaxation.
Good to know
Branding, spa facilities and resort operations have evolved since the historic award period. Confirm the current spa name, treatment menu, opening arrangements and hotel inclusions directly before booking.
Before you book
Verify current resort ownership, spa operation, facilities and treatment availability at source. Historic award recognition is editorial archive information, not a current award.
