Modern Cycladic-style hotel with a pool, garden, family-friendly rooms, and breakfast service

Overview

Abasa Suites is a modern boutique hotel on the outskirts of Fira, allowing guests to enjoy a mix of tranquility and easy access to lively Santorini's highlights. Traditional Cycladic architecture is given a modern twist in these rooms that can accommodate couples, friends, and families. The hotel's facilities include a seasonal freshwater swimming pool with sunbeds and a peaceful garden, making this ideal for anyone looking to enjoy Santorini's atmosphere away from the crowds.

Kimkim's Take

Pros
  • The location on the outskirts of Fira is peaceful and quiet but also close enough for you to enjoy the liveliness of the island's capital.
  • You can relax by the small outdoor pool overlooking the countryside.
  • There are room options for all types of travelers, whether you're a family looking for more space or a couple hoping for a romantic atmosphere in an outdoor hot tub under the stars.
  • Begin your mornings with breakfast in your room or under a pergola with garden views.
Cons
  • The hotel is situated on a hill, and the walk back from town is steep. 
  • There's no on-site restaurant, spa, or fitness center.
  • The pool area is relatively small and gets crowded during peak times.

Authenticity

Abasa Suites channels the spirit of Santorini with its traditional yet modern rooms. The property updates Santorini's white-walled Cycladic architecture and structure with modern design and decor. The furniture is contemporary and minimalist, with neutral tones, natural materials, and pops of color that all integrate harmoniously with the bright light and blue sea outside. While the hotel may not be steeped in history, its design captures the essence of the island and allows you to relish the natural landscape that has made Santorini so famous.

Location

Situated on the outskirts of the island's capital Fira, a 20-minute walk or 5-minute drive away, the hotel offers a mix of remoteness and access. You'll find restaurants, shops, bars, and cultural attractions in Fira, so you don't have to worry about the lack of an on-site restaurant here. Oia, famous for its sunset views and cascading whitewashed houses, is a 20-minute drive, and the volcanic Red Beach is just over 20 minutes away.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Cycladic architecture meets modern decor in these bright and stylish rooms. Spaciousness, natural light, and neutral tones with bursts of color mirror the island's aesthetic and create a welcoming place to relax after a day of exploration. Amenities can include private patios with outdoor hot tubs or kitchenettes, and some options include sea views. There are several two-bedroom options, ideal for families or larger parties.

Amenities

Abasa Suites has a small seasonal pool on a terrace with sun beds, umbrellas, and towels. The pool area offers views over the countryside. There's no spa or fitness center on-site. 

Family-Friendliness

Children up to age 11 stay for free. While the hotel doesn't have any kid-specific amenities, it has several room options suitable for families of four, including the aptly named Family Suite and the Abasa Traditional House. The breakfast menu has options for kids.

Other Highlights

Abasa Suites doesn't have a dedicated on-site restaurant or bar, but breakfast is delivered to guests' rooms every day from 8 am to 11 am. Orders are placed the night before. Guests can also choose to have breakfast in an outdoor patio area with garden views.
