10 hotels for a dream holiday in Santorini

The San Antonio is the quintessential Santorini luxury hotel. Its infinity pools seem to communicate directly with the Caldera, except that you are constantly overlooking this dream landscape, unique in the world!

Service, facilities, decor - everything is perfect at the San Antonio, including its isolated location on the Caldera, on the road to Oia, which gives you the impression of being alone in the world: a rare treat on Santorini!

A stay in Oia, Santorini's most photogenic village, is a dream in itself. There is no shortage of beautiful hotels here, and spectacular views are commonplace. This is certainly true of the Delta Suites, which gives you a front-row seat for Oia's famous sunset every evening!

The hotel offers cosy, luxurious suites with outdoor hot tubs so you can make the most of the view.

Let's leave the Caldera for a moment and take a step up: Santorini Heights is a luxurious establishment perched on the slopes of Profitis Ilias, Santorini's highest mountain.

The five very upmarket suites (with private pools) are each a real eagle's nest, with incredible views over the whole island, the Aegean Sea and other Cyclades on the horizon. All away from the hustle and bustle of the Caldera.

On Santorini, luxury means above all peace and quiet. The Callia Retreat Suites - Adults Only promises just that, and as its name suggests, it's a peaceful retreat in the heart of Fira.

Just behind the capital, enjoy a 'reverse' view, i.e. over the Aegean and the rising sun, which you can savour every morning on the terrace in front of your suite, or in your private jacuzzi...

The dream of Santorini is not just about the big luxury hotels, but also about those addresses that stand out from the crowd thanks to their location and the quality of their welcome: in this respect, the Akrotiri Hotel guarantees you an exceptional stay in Santorini.

Just a stone's throw from the Red Beach, with its south-facing rooms and a small pier for getting into the water below, enjoy a real little Greek-style hotel where you'll soon feel right at home.

Some people also dream of authenticity on Santorini. For that, head for Emborio, probably the most authentic village on Santorini, where very few visitors stay...

Exi Castle Suites is located right in the heart of the renovated kastro of Emborio, an almost surreal maze of small, picturesque streets. The suites are furnished in the traditional style, with a design that is both atypical and comfortable: a well-kept secret!

We often dream of holidays by the beach, with the sea just around the corner... which isn't always easy on Santorini, especially on the Caldera side!

This is one of the reasons why the Santellini Hotel is such an attractive address, just a few metres from the black sandy beach of Kamari. Add to this the warm, Greek-style welcome, the well-appointed rooms and the lovely pool, and you have a dream that is accessible to all.

Back to the edge of the Caldera, still Santorini's most incredible spot. Especially here, in Imerovigli, a pretty, bright white village clustered around Fira, accessible on foot along the cornice.

The Remezzo Villas offers all the romantic charm of Santorini's luxury hotels, recreated in an ancient building dating back to the 19th century, as well as breathtaking views: a dream for two.

If you're going to treat yourself to a dream, you might as well do it right with a genuine 5-star hotel on Santorini: the Alleys All-Suite Hotel & Spa. As well as top-of-the-range comfort suites, enjoy a wide range of luxury services, including a full on-site spa.

The hotel is located in Pyrgos, in the heart of Santorini, a charming village with a rich historical heritage, as well as good places to go out for dinner or a drink.

How would you like to stay in your own home, right in Oia, Santorini's most beautiful village? A dream made possible with Cleo's Dream Villa, a magnificent cliffside villa overlooking the Caldera.

Ideally located, the two-bedroom villa boasts a splendid terrace with hot tub, just for you!
