Marizan Caves & Villas, Oia, Santorini

Pros

• Several large room options can comfortably accommodate up to four people, which makes this great for families or groups.
• The simple whitewashed design brightens up the spaces and allows you to enjoy the Greek light.
• All rooms include terraces and hot tubs for an extra relaxing stay.
• The hotel's prime location in Oia means you can enjoy the sunset either from the privacy of your own terrace or with the crowds outside.

Authenticity

The nine cave rooms of the Marizan Caves & Villas capture elements that make Santorini what it is. In this case, that's a combination of caves formed in the volcanic rock and the sunlight and sunsets that have turned this island into such a desirable destination. Nearly all white cave rooms reflect that special light throughout the day, while guests can enjoy the famous sunsets of Oia from the privacy of their own terraces.

Location

Situated on Cadillac Cliff in Oia, the Marizan Caves & Villas overlooks Ammoudi Bay just below. Walk to the Castle of Oia or the Blue Domed Church in just over five minutes or hop in the car and drive to the Red Beach in 45. Head to Imerovigli for a less populated but equally spectacular sunset view, as that village is just 20 minutes away.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The nine suites are all cave rooms, which vary mostly in size. While all of them feature caldera views as well as terraces and outdoor hot tubs, there are some two-bedroom options that are perfect for families or groups of friends. The minimalist whitewashed design enhances the surrounding view outside, as it reflects the sunshine and frames the sea.
