An intimate hotel located on the very edge of the caldera with magnificent views of the entire length of the island from Oia to Akrotiri, plus Thirassia Island and the new volcano. With a focus on wellness, the hotel offers a full-service spa with a jacuzzi, sauna, and cave-style treatment room, with the option of having spa services done outdoors overlooking the caldera. Rooms are designed and decorated in a contemporary style with Cycladic influences, black and white marble floors, and cool silver tones; all with caldera views. Their modern Greek kitchen makes exceptional meals, and the lounge is the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail. Although a luxury property, service never feels too formal; the staff takes care to make each guest feel truly at home. Popular for weddings and proposals.
Santorini Princess Spa Hotel – The Basics
- Ages: An adults-only hotel, guests 12 and older only are allowed. Guests tend to be couples celebrating their honeymoon, anniversary, or getting married here. Most guests are over 35 years old, except in July and August, when the age skews a few years younger.
- Beach: The nearest beach is Koloumpos Beach, about 6.5 km northeast. But Exo Gialos is a better beach and not much farther, just 5.5 km to the north end or 7.4 km to the south end’s impressive wind-sculpted cliffs.
- View: Unbeatable caldera views from every room in the hotel, from Oia to Akrotiri and everything in between.
- Private Pools/Jacuzzis: The Honeymoon Suite has a private, outdoor jacuzzi on its terrace, heated in April, May, and October.
- Parking: Free parking onsite.
- Extras: Welcome drink and snack (usually wine and baklava), fewer steps than most caldera hotels, weddings and events, and a chapel (anyone can enter, but only Orthodox weddings can be performed in the chapel).
- When to Book: The hotel operates from late April/early May until the end of October. Reserve as early as possible, at least 6 months in advance. This is a small hotel and incredibly popular. It sells out fast.
