The Best Hotels to Book in Santorini for Every Traveller
Offering travellers history, great food and amazing sunsets, the Greek island of Santorini is an Aegean paradise. There are hotels across the island, from five-star all-suite cliffside boutiques, to smaller, local guesthouses in the ancient towns like Oia, renowned for its beautiful whitewashed architecture overlooking the caldera basin. Whatever your style, or budget, there’s something for you – here’s our guide to the best hotels in Santorini, which you can book today with Culture Trip.
1. Perivolas
Luxury
The sound of distant church bells and the engines of fishing boats drift through the windows of the rooms at Perivolas, a spectacular property near Oia which blends into the cliff face and, seemingly, the Aegean Sea itself thank to its infinity pool. Inside this luxury hotel, which once housed fishermen and their wineries and stables, there are now fluorescent furnishings, while some suites have indoor plunge pools. For a foodie event like no other, opt for the Private Dining experience – you’ll enjoy a candlelit four-course meal made by chef Theodoros Kakoulis, with local white wine handpicked by the sommelier.
2. Afroessa
Hotel, Apartment
You will never get bored of the sea views in Santorini and Afroessa is in a great spot to take it all in. You’re free to spend your days luxuriating on a sun lounger, looking out and marvelling at the Aegean Sea. If you do get the itch to explore, you can rent a bike or car from the hotel. The studios, spread across five floors of this 18th-century converted winery, boast beds built into the foundations, stone tile floors and shaded balconies.
3. Andronis Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Luxury
With scorching summers a guarantee in Santorini, you’ll welcome the abundance of places to cool off at Andronis. This list includes a communal pool, jacuzzis and infinity and cave pools in some of the suites, where whitewashed walls and waterfall showers come as standard. Fancy exploring deeper waters? Head out on a catamaran cruise or scuba diving excursion.
5. Voreina Gallery Suites
Hotel, Apartment
Voreina Gallery, on the northern hillside of Pyrgos, offers views of quintessential Cycladic architecture and the Aegean Sea for as far as the eye can see. The vistas aren’t bad indoors either as the owners are art lovers who have created a ‘habitual gallery’ with local art. Each suite is also equipped with its own kitchen but don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy fresh grilled lavraki (bass) at Rosemary’s restaurant just around the corner.
