Iconic Santorini, Santorini

Pros

• Some rooms include features like indoor grottos and plunge pools overlooking the sea, which provide something extra special to your stay.
• While most Santorini hotels have infinity pools now, the one at the Iconic is truly, dare we say, iconic, thanks to its sweeping views of the sea.
• The hotel has a policy of never being fully booked, which adds an element of privacy and space that can be hard to come by elsewhere, particularly in the high season.

Cons

• There's no parking lot here but the hotel offers a free transfer to pick up guests and help with their luggage.

Authenticity

This cave hotel has transformed traditional cliffside caves into something luxurious and modern while retaining their original character. Curved whitewashed walls mix with earthy tones and wooden furniture to highlight the space and the hotel's perfect position with epic views from all points gives the feeling that you really can't be anywhere else but Santorini.

Location

Overlooking Skaros Rock, the Iconic Santorini has a prime location for anyone looking to soak in a fantastic view at all times. Walk down to Skaros Rock in 15 minutes or if you're keen to explore the island, drive to the famous Red and Black beaches in 30 minutes. Imerovigli is the less known but equally stunning place to watch Santorini's sunsets but those who want to do so from Oia can be there in 25 minutes by car.

Rooms and Bathrooms

This adults-only hotel welcomes guests over 14, so its 19 suites are best suited for couples or small groups of friends, as they most comfortably sleep two to three people. These cave rooms feature whitewashed curved walls and amenities like indoor and outdoor jetted plunge pools. There are two "super suites" with more exclusive amenities. The Cliff suite is perfect for couples looking for extra privacy, spectacular views, and an outdoor cave plunge pool, while the Iconic suite has both an indoor and outdoor cave plunge pool.
