The Best Santorini Hotels (2023)

Santorini is one of the most popular travel destinations in Europe. That means there are tons of hotels to accommodate the large number of travelers. In fact, there are so many amazing Santorini hotels to choose from that it can get overwhelming.

But don’t worry. Using my own experience and research, I have put together a list of all the best Santorini hotels. Also, I am not sponsored by any of the hotels. So you can be sure this is all my honest opinion. Just make sure to double check rates since they change throughout the year. All photos are courtesy of the respective hotel.

10. Astra Suites

Astra Suites is a luxury all-suites retreat with a talent for racking up awards. It placed among the top 25 hotels in the world (TripAdvisor), and in 2017 was rated the most romantic hotel (Condé Nast). Service is a big part of Astra’s success. The rest can be chalked up to the simple pleasures of a spacious room and an unbeatable view.

Seated on the cliffs of Imerovigli, Astra Suites has a front row seat to sunsets on the caldera. It is the perfect environment for cocktails or dinner at the Five Sense Restaurant.

The property is built on five different levels, each of which offers an unforgettable place along the caldera wall. You can even stay in the Cave Suite, which was carved into the historic hillside.

If the gorgeous suites and vistas aren’t enough, Iconic Santorini provides everything else it can to make your stay pure bliss. They offer honeymoon packages for couples, spa treatments for the weary, and the best in bedding for everyone. As cheesy as it may sound, Iconic really is an icon of Santorini.

7. The Vasilicos

Once the sanctuary of a private art collector, The Vasilicos now operates as a magnificent, four-star hotel. Regardless, The Vasilicos still retains the elegance and comfort of a private den. Also, the hotel is furnished with pieces from the collection. They’re a great complement to the cave-like architecture of the property.

Like many of the other Santorini hotels, The Vasilicos has stunning panoramas, seductive pools, and great dining options. However, one thing The Vasilicos has that most others don’t is a winery. Vassaltis Vineyards is a sister winery to the hotel. It creates some of the hottest new wines on the island. Naturally, hotel guests get special treatment when they visit.
