Andronis Luxury Suites
Santorini, Greece
Perivolas
Vibe
Inconspicuous cliffside gates on Oia's pedestrian strip open to a labyrinth of whitewashed staircases dropping toward the caldera.
“Cliffside caldera sanctuary”
Dedicated concierge service, bespoke pillow menus, Acqua di Parma amenities, and attentive luggage portage on cliffside stairs.
Curved whitewashed cave suites sculpted directly into volcanic cliffs, paired with minimalist furnishings and Aegean sea views.
Traditional Cycladic cliffside cave architecture hosting native Greek gastronomic tastings and volcanic island panoramas in Oia.
On Oia's pedestrian cliffside path, surrounded by village boutiques and sunset viewpoints over the caldera.
“Carved into Santorini’s famous caldera cliffs, Andronis Luxury Suites is the epitome of Cycladic romance; each suite and villa features whitewashed curves, cave-like interiors…”
Rooms
Cave suites sculpted into volcanic rock feature beds on stone platforms, domed hammam showers, and terraces with private heated pools.
“The distinctive bathrooms are cave-like (without windows and recessed into the cliff) but extravagant.”
Wellness
Carved straight into the cliff rock face, Mare Sanus Spa offers holistic body rituals alongside a heated caldera-edge infinity pool.
Backstory
Opened in 2007, the property helped pioneer Oia's cliffside cave hotel concept behind a facade resembling a sea captain's mansion.
“Its creative cave room design includes private plunge pools, beds raised on stone platforms, and Aegean views.”
Eat & drink
Lycabettus serves modern Greek tasting menus on a slender rocky promontory, while Miltos' Greek Table shares traditional dishes in the courtyard.
The neighborhood
Step directly off the marble-paved pedestrian path of Oia, where boutiques and sunset crowds give way to quiet caldera terraces.

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.
