The house
HiltonBlack-sand Cycladic resort
This southern outpost trades crowded caldera cliffs for open water and unhurried days along the volcanic shore.

What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
With its cluster of capacious bamboo-clad rooms and suites with untrammeled Aegean Sea views, and a beachside restaurant dishing up Cretan delights, Hilton Curio Collection’s Sea Breeze Santorini is just a lazy beach stroll away from Vlychada.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cape Exomitis marks the island's quiet southern tip, with Vlychada's sculpted pumice cliffs a short walk down the shore.
The rooms
Each whitewashed domed suite opens onto a private terrace, with a heated plunge pool or hot tub facing the Aegean.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor swimming pool sits steps from the shore, lined with sun loungers and a shaded bar.
The spa and gym
The spa holds a blue plaster hammam and volcanic body scrubs, and the fitness room is lined with treadmills.
Aura Restaurant
Tables sit under thatched pergolas overlooking the Aegean, serving Greek dishes cooked in a wood-fired oven.
At the table
Kafenion Ostria sits behind plaster archways in the lobby, serving Greek coffee and evening spirits onto a garden porch.
