The house
MarriottTerracotta hillside resort
Earth-toned terracotta buildings replace Santorini's whitewashed cliffs, giving families room to spread out among the Tholos vineyards.
“This isn't your typical trad white-washed bolthole. Instead it's a modern, low-set complex in an intoxicating shade of terra-cotta pink.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Terracotta pink monolithic structures built from local volcanic stone and blonde oak.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Rooms for two feel serene with neutral creamy shades and layers of natural materials, whilst the Bungalows and Villas offer more space for traveling with children.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Vineyards surround the grounds in Tholos. Oia's bustling caldera paths are a five-minute shuttle ride up the hill.

The rooms
Every room opens onto a terrace with its own plunge pool, looking out across the gardens or the Aegean.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool faces the sunset. Downstairs, a heated subterranean pool sits within dark stone walls.
The spa
Yoga and gym
A circular timber deck hosts outdoor yoga, and the indoor fitness room has Technogym cardio machines and weights.
At the table
Maitr & Margarita serves seasonal Greek dishes on the rooftop terrace, pouring local biodynamic wines at sunset.
How it began
Kiros Pagkalidis stepped the angular stone structures down the hillside, shielding the terraces from northern summer winds.
