Santorini’s caldera views are world-renowned, yet there is another side to the island that feels quieter and more rooted. Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, occupies a 400-year-old winery, thoughtfully converted to meet the needs of savvy travellers.
Set across the grounds of a former Catholic monastery, Katikies Garden is a superb option for families looking to combine caldera views with a great location in the historic town of Fira. It’s the first of the much-loved Katikies hotels to welcome children to Santorini but has lost none of the brand’s commitment to luxury in the process.
The differences between the best Santorini hotels are very subtle but somehow Katikies Santorini - Gea House feels that little more secluded, its infinity pool with caldera views is just that little bit more dazzling.
Sometimes it pays to set yourself apart and that’s certainly true of Canaves Epitome. While most hotels in Oia look inwards at Santorini’s caldera, Epitome sits about a mile from the town centre on the western extremity of the island’s northern arm, giving it some of the finest sunset views of any luxury hotel on the island.
The flagship of the Canaves Collection group of uber-luxe Santorini hotels, Canaves Oia Suites offers 44 ultra-stylish suites and two knockout villas, all perched on the cliffs of picture-perfect Oia with mesmerising views of the island’s caldera. It’s also the only hotel in Oia to offer lift access to all levels of the property.
