Andronis Arcadia
Santorini, Greece
Monastiri
Vibe
Submerged daybeds frame a vast infinity pool where resident DJs soundtrack the Aegean sunset, away from Oia's crowded caldera.
“Minimalist sunset hideaway”
Whitewashed cubist volumes designed by Kapsimalis Architects feature cooling forged-cement walls and locally crafted wooden furnishings.
Private infinity plunge pools accompany every suite, alongside dedicated concierge assistance and spacious Aegean-facing verandas.
Sunset DJ sessions, submerged daybeds at the Grande Pool, and alfresco cocktail dining at Pacman Bar.
On the northwestern edge of Oia, a short walk from the village centre and sunset viewing points.
“the suites and villas come in a range of sizes and layouts, but they’re uniformly luxurious, bright, airy, and open, and each one comes with a private infinity pool”
Rooms
Every suite opens onto an Aegean-facing terrace with a private plunge pool, surrounded by cooling forged-cement walls and pale wood.
“the hotel's 114 suites and villas sit far enough away that you feel secluded and wrapped in privacy.”
Wellness
Outdoor Kneipp walking pools line the spa with smooth reflexology stones, alongside open-air sunrise yoga and custom cryotherapy rituals.
“Standard rooms are like souped-up beach shacks: polished floors, rattan details, wicker chairs and all-neutral fabrics make for a deeply soothing retreat...”
Backstory
Named after the mythical pastoral wilderness of Pan, the estate trades steep caldera perches for expansive westward views across the Aegean.
“With their cooling forged-cement walls, soothing neutral colour palette and custom-made furniture like low-slung bed frames and simple wooden tables, they make for a calming retreat...”
Eat & drink
Pacman serves fresh seafood and sushi beside the pool, while Beefbar dishes up prime cuts and global street food for dinner.
The neighborhood
Perched on Oia's peaceful northwestern edge, the hotel sits five minutes on foot from village lanes while avoiding the midday crowds.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
