Notable
Private furnished terraces, pillow menus, in-room espresso machines, and beachside service along the volcanic sands.

Michelin
Bellonias Villas, on Santorini, is a contemporary take on that quaintly rustic Cycladic aesthetic.
Right in the middle

Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden daybeds and black glass lanterns line the freshwater pool deck, shaded by mature palm trees.
