An all-suite property perched above the Aegean with five (yes, five) pools and a spa inspired by the region.

For kids. The property is devoted to guests 12-years-old and older, so leave wee ones at home.

If you’ve ever wanted to check-in to a seafront Santorini hotel and never leave, this would be the place to do it. All 55 suites (and two two-bedroom villas) are fitted with kitchenettes, jacuzzis, and minibars, making them more comfy for the long-term than most. Book one of their brand new Wellness Cave Junior Suites for a room that feels, yes, like one of Santorini’s iconic cloud-white cave dwellings, plus a private al fresco pool. Our other favorite rooms, the Sea View Suites, have sun-swept daybeds and jacuzzis bubbling on their verandas. Either way, you’ll be as coddled as a Grecian god, thanks to in-room amenities like espresso machines, a bottle of wine and sweets at-the-ready after you check-in, and guest services like turn-down, valet, and a 24-hour bellboy.

You’re an ardent locavore, and the hotel’s outdoor Alios Ilios restaurant is devoted to the region’s best, from organic olive oil from Crete to octopus pulled from the waters below. (You’ll want to shove a few bottles of the thyme honey into your suitcase, and you wouldn’t be the first).

You felt your shoulders drop the second you strolled into Anassa Spa, where cryotherapy, a steam bath and sauna soothe all ills. But it was the outdoor gazebo where you’ll be having your red clay body mask and Aegean seaweed wrap that really has you rethinking that flight back home.
