Santorini Hotels

Insights from kimkim local specialists for our hand-selected hotels in Santorini, Greece

One of Greece's top destinations, Santorini stands out for its epic volcanic landscape, whitewashed cliffside villages, and world-famous sunsets. Kimkim's recommendations range from cave hotels to traditional options that take advantage of the island's biggest asset: its views. Experience Santorini's volcanic makeup with a stay at Perivolas, the original luxury boutique cave hotel, whose bright, minimalist rooms and warm family-run service have made it a favorite since the 1980s. In contrast, Blue Dolphins Apartments & Suites offers traditional Cycladic rooms with sea views near the lively capital. And Kasimatis by La Perla, a luxurious adults-only option housed in a historic wine cellar, gives you those caldera views along with private Jacuzzis, perfect for couples or friends looking to decompress.
