Lauda, founded in 1971 as Oia's first restaurant, once housed the village's sole telephone.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Each suite is skillfully carved into the rockface, offering private infinity pools that seem to merge with the azure Aegean Sea below.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Oia's marble pedestrian path runs just above, where village boutiques and tavernas draw evening crowds for the sunset.
The rooms
Curved whitewashed walls define the cave suites, and every terrace holds a heated plunge pool or hot tub.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool sits on the cliff edge, looking directly across the caldera to the volcanic islands.
The cave hot tub
A heated cave hot tub sits beneath curved rock arches, looking past sun loungers to the open Aegean.
Lauda Restaurant
Chef Emmanuel Renaut shapes a Cycladic menu from local ingredients, served across clifftop terraces high above the caldera.
