From a brand-new hideaway to a well-established favourite, these tranquil properties offer relaxation and indulgence just steps away from Santorini’s most celebrated sights

Santorini, Greece’s style capital, is famed for its golden sunsets over the caldera, gourmet dining, world-class spa treatments and evening yacht cruises – all in one breathtaking destination. To experience the best, you’ll want to stay in the island’s fashionable north, close to the action but removed enough to savor tranquillity between excursions. These two serene retreats place you at the heart of what makes Thira (Santorini’s Greek name) so special, wrapping you in peace and seclusion.

Santo Mine Oia Suites

What’s the vibe?
A haven for honeymooners and style-seekers, Santo Mine feels like an ultra-luxe home away from home.

Come here for…
Pnoē Spa, a rejuvenating retreat after a day spent wine tasting or cruising the Aegean. Designed to alleviate stress and urban tension, it offers a sauna, hammam, yoga sessions and an outdoor gym to blend wellness with relaxation.

Your living space
Each of the 37 minimalist suites boasts direct sea views, private pools or Jacuzzis and charming garden-fronted terraces, creating an intimate space for unwinding. The private terraces offer the same idyllic sunset vistas as Oia’s famous castle, minus the crowds.

Food and drink

The Rhoē wine bar serves up cocktails and snacks, with ingredients sourced from Santo Collection’s organic kitchen garden. Don’t miss the private tastings in the wine cellar, set against historic cave walls.

Location
Perched above Ammoudi Bay on the site of a former stone mine, Santo Mine sits within Oia, Santorini’s most photogenic clifftop town, where candy-coloured churches and world-class dining await.
