In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step directly off the marble-paved pedestrian path of Oia, where boutiques and sunset crowds give way to quiet caldera terraces.
The rooms
Cave suites sculpted into volcanic rock feature beds on stone platforms, domed hammam showers, and terraces with private heated pools.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 60-square-meter heated infinity pool curves along the caldera rim, lit by lanterns as dusk settles over Oia.
The spa
Mare Sanus Spa is carved into the volcanic cliff, where therapists use ESPA oils in candlelit cave rooms.
Lycabettus Restaurant
Tables sit along a rocky promontory jutting over the caldera edge, serving multi-course modern Greek tasting menus.
Its creative cave room design includes private plunge pools, beds raised on stone platforms, and Aegean views.
At the table
Miltos’ Greek Table serves traditional island recipes under whitewashed archways looking out over the caldera.
How it began
Opened in 2007, the property helped pioneer Oia's cliffside cave hotel concept behind a facade resembling a sea captain's mansion.
