BOOK PERIVOLAS HOTEL (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Perivolas Hotel, one of the best hotels in Santorini, impresses visitors with its tremendous sea views. Sunbathing at its magnificent infinity pool is an experience worth remembering for years to come. There are 20 private houses on this property, many with private pools. The breakfast at Perivolas Hotel is nothing less than divine, a real treat from the gods, and the restaurant, serving mouth-watering Greek food, is unmissable (exceptional grilled octopus with quinoa tabbouleh). Mastering Santorini's caldera, this romantic boutique hotel is within walking distance from Oia, one of Santorini's charming little towns. We’d say this is the best way to start a marriage for couples traveling on a honeymoon if you ask us.

BOOK GRACE SANTORINI, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION (in cooperation with Booking.com)

A Santorini hotel that goes beyond perfection. That would be an excellent way to define the astonishing caldera views and this unique place named Grace Santorini. Among the best hotels on the island, the five-star boutique hotel is a natural choice for travelers seeking the ultimate luxury experience in Santorini. After being extensively redone, Grace Santorini went from being very good to one of the best in the Cyclades.

Standards at Grace Santorini are high, so be prepared to live the fascinating Greek experience you’ve been dreaming of for so long. Grace Santorini is located in Imerovigli, away from the busloads of cruise ship passengers.

BOOK CANAVES OIA SUITES & SPA (in cooperation with Booking.com)

When vacationing in Santorini, you shouldn’t settle for anything less than heaven on earth. Once one walks into the upscale Canaves Oia Suites & Spa, a fabulous Santorini boutique hotel carved into a cliff with top-notch caldera vistas, a sense of having made the right hotel choice kicks in. The setting is so overwhelming that, for an instant, time stands still as one tries to absorb so much beauty at once. Tastefully decorated, all suites are incredibly comfortable and feature private pools (the infinity pool suite with its infinity-edge pool with panoramic views goes way beyond expectations). Unlike some other Santorini hotels, guests staying at Canaves Oia Suites & Spa will find a lift to take them to their suite level, not having to go up and down multiple stairs. This luxury hotel is located in Oia, right on the northwest tip of Santorini island.

BOOK KIVOTOS SANTORINI (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Whenever we think about Santorini hotels, we think about beautiful white-washed little houses facing the sea. Not necessarily at the Kivotos Santorini, a new addition to the island in 2019, located in Imerovigli. This stylish property sets the difference in many ways: to begin with; the chosen materials work like a charm (the dark volcanic stones used in the hotel’s structure creates a clear distinction from other Santorini hotels). As for convenience, accessing Kivotos Santorini doesn’t require climbing up and down to access its premises, which is a huge bonus compared to other accommodation alternatives on the island. The volcano views? WOW. Let’s say the hotel enjoys a prime position at the most elevated point of the caldera, meaning you should forget having to leave the hotel to enjoy the most eye-popping sunset ever. Still not convinced? All suites at Kivotos Santorini come with their own indoor or private outdoor pool if you do not wish to relax by the hotel’s super camera-friendly infinity pool.

BOOK KATIKIES HOTEL - THE LEADING HOTELS OF THE WORLD (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Imagine the feeling of being suspended between the sea below and the sky above? Pretty much what to expect when staying at the five-star Katikies Hotel, undisputedly among the best boutique hotels in Santorini with a caldera view. This luxury hotel interiors embody Cycladic style where white tones and clean surfaces dominate. One of the outstanding features of this Santorini hotel is its quintessential infinity pool located right at the edge of a 92m high cliff. The buffet-style breakfast has a reputation for being one of the best on the island - did you order champagne? Cape Columbo Beach, one of the quietest beaches in Santorini, is around 3km away from Katikies Hotel (however, we suspect that you will not feel the need for a beach with such excellent hotel facilities). Katikies Hotel is located in Oia, highly regarded for its beautiful sunset views.

Aenaon Villas is conveniently located between Oia and Fira, two of the most exciting cities in Santorini. On top of all is the fabulous service provided by Alexandra, George (the hosts), and their staff.

BOOK SANTORINI PRINCESS SPA HOTEL (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Like so many others in Santorini, the views from Santorini Princess Spa Hotel are flawless. This luxury boutique hotel, planted in the pretty village of Imerovigli, often dubbed "the balcony to the Aegean," presents guests with spacious white-washed rooms and suites that share a common feature: private, panoramic terraces facing Santorini's unique caldera. Love birds visiting the island will find unmatched joy when staying at the Grand Honeymoon Villa. Another feature of this five-star Santorini hotel is its infinity pool, which is always heated to perfection to a precise 29ºC (84ºF) and allows for prolonged swims, even outside the summer months. The vistas over the sea and Oia to the right are divine. Still, are you not relaxed just by contemplating the panoramic caldera views? In that case, we suggest booking a massage by the pool at sunset (no stress can survive this). Alternatively, a session involving hot stones and a secluded cave is heaven's promise on the land of gods.

The Katikies Lounge is the hotel's all-day dining destination, serving mouthwatering breakfasts next to idyllic caldera vistas. Save some time to visit the Katikies Kirini Spa and treat yourself to an outdoor relaxing massage—one of the unmissable experiences available at this boutique hotel, as is disconnecting from it all at the secluded spa cave pool. One step further is planning to participate in a three-day wellness program at ZOE, where bio-regenerative therapies elevate guests to a new physical and mental state. The hotel's attentive staff is always on standby to assist with yacht charters for guests who wish to explore Santorini from the water. Picture cruises around the caldera and navigating to the less-explored islands of Nea Kameni and Palia Kameni, home to a lunar landscape that harbors worth visiting hot springs.

BOOK MYSTIQUE, A LUXURY COLLECTION HOTEL, SANTORINI (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Located on one of Oia's cliffs, preserved from the tourist crowds, and with phenomenal views of the sea and Santorini's caldera, the five-star Mystique hotel has been consistently considered one of the best luxury hotels in Santorini. Caldera-front suites reflect the region's essence with a minimalist design and wood finishes, ideal for preventing distractions from the show-stopping views on the horizon. For couples, it doesn't get any better than staying at the spacious Mystery Villa, the brightest star in a luxury constellation. Guests are treated to a panoramic terrace, a private infinity pool, and an ensuite fitness room. Dining without a fabulous vista isn't an option, as all three on-site restaurants were conceived to maximize the visual impact of the stunning surroundings; the Greek-inspired Lure restaurant is only available for dinner, while the Charisma restaurant and its Mediterranean flavors await patrons for lunch and dinner. It would be a waste not to invest in activities promoting wellness and mental clarity in such a singular location. The hotel brought together a team of yoga and meditation masters keen on guiding guests on a blessed journey. There is also a spa set in a magical setting to complement the holistic experience. One note: remember that navigating in Santorini is all about ups and downs, and at the luxurious Mystique, there are abundant stairs, which could be a challenge for some guests.

BOOK ASTARTE SUITES (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Located in the southwestern region of Santorini (somehow remote, we must say), the splendid high-end Astarte Suites are an excellent option for those wishing to combine privacy and eye-catching views in a quiet, romantic atmosphere. One of the hotel's highlights is its inviting infinity pool, the ideal place to spend hours sunbathing or reading a book. The well-appointed suites come with a private jacuzzi or pool and a terrace with sublime volcano vistas. To access the hotel, one must climb some stairs, which is a small price to pay for the panoramic views of the caldera. Among Santorini's most famous beaches, Red Beach is a short drive away, while the archaeological site of Akrotiri is just a couple of kilometers away.

BOOK SAN ANTONIO - SMALL LUXURY HOTELS OF THE WORLD (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Is the San Antonio boutique hotel one of the best hospitality viewpoints in Santorini? Absolutely. Even if the hotel is officially a four-star property, prospective travelers would be making a mistake by crossing it off their potential places to stay list. Why? Apart from the superlative six-star caldera vistas, the facilities are excellent, and the service is outstanding. Take, for instance, the Master Sea View Suite. At 50 square meters (538 square feet), this suite could be defined as a lovers' nest, together with the Honeymoon Sea View Suite. One of the distinct features of this romantic Santorini hotel is that its spa operates from an actual cave. After enjoying a relaxing massage, guests are invited to unwind in a black-tiled jacuzzi surrounded by scented candles. After such a ritual, let your inner romantic soul continue to take control and book a table at sunset, only to dine with the most fantastic Santorini sunset view (some tables face the caldera and are directly set on a wall). This romantic hotel is located a 45-minute walk away from Imerovigli (extraordinary vistas along the way are guaranteed). Fira, Santorini's largest town, is 5km away.
