A Luxury Guide to Santorini This Summer

A Luxury Guide to Santorini This Summer

From swoon-worthy sunsets overlooking the Aegean Sea to picturesque white cliffs and gorgeous Cycladic architecture, it’s far from debate that Santorini is one of the most idyllic Greek islands. With the high season officially here and direct flights to Greece booming, here’s where to eat, stay and play in Santorini:

EAT: A Moët and Oyster Bar, Artistic Greek Platings and Local Wine Pairings. Santorini offers a range of dining experiences - whether you’re looking for a meal with local flair or elevated dishes with gorgeous views. Seaside on Perivolos’ black sand beach invites guests to the restaurant area or comfy sunbeds where extravagant cocktails are served, Med-Asian seafood dishes can be ordered and a Moet and Oyster bar can be found. Offering ocean views from the cliffside, 1800-Floga plates Greek dishes that almost look more like art than food. For a taste of local wines paired with modern Greek dishes, make a trip to Oia Vineyart and stroll through their food shop and gallery after dinner.

STAY: These New Luxury Suites and Villas Offer The Best Sunset Views in Santorini. Find the perfect getaway at Santo Collection, a new collection of sustainably-minded and soulful luxury properties in Oia. The collection is launching 20 new suites at the newly rebranded Santo Pure this June 2023, along with the unveiling of The Villas by Santo Collection in July 2023.

    • Santo Pure - Located a five-minute walk from Oia’s bustling caldera, the luxurious Santo Pure resembles a typical Santorinian village, combining traditional Cycladic architecture with contemporary black lava and white soothing tones. The resort offers award-winning spa and wellness treatments at Anassa as well as all-day dining and sunset drinks at Akratos Poolside Bar, all underpinned by the resort’s sustainable ethos of farm-to-table.
    • The Villas by Santo Collection - Located in the western part of Oia, the villas are nestled in a secluded setting of awe-inspiring natural beauty with panoramic views overlooking the Aegean Sea. Guests of The Villas by Santo Collection have access to their own personal concierge service to organize private chefs, spa services, and exclusive excursions such as private yacht and helicopter tours.

PLAY: Yachting, Private Winery Tours and Bustling Town Centers: Explore the sights of Santorini and stunning nearby beaches by booking a day of yachting with companies like Sunset Oia Yacht Rental Company. If you’re into the gastronomy of the island, discover the local volcanic wines through private tours with wineries like Boutari Winery Santorini or sign up for a cooking class with a local chef. Although there are numerous activities to book across the island, you may find some of the best hidden gems and small shops while wandering through Oia or Fira, two of Santorinis biggest towns.
