How we ranked these hotels

17 hotels looked at for this destination: 17 ranked above, 0 more we recommend.

The Google and Booking ratings for these hotels are based on a combined 14,122 reviews reported by the sources. This is not the number of review texts Tripplo has analysed.

How guest ratings, hotel class and facts inform our selections.

Read our methodology

Where to stay on Santorini?

Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses and updated as the selection changes.

Oia

Best for Classic sunset views

Perched on the northern tip of Santorini, Oia is famous for its whitewashed houses, iconic blue domes, and steep cliff paths. It becomes exceptionally busy during late afternoon as visitors arrive to watch the sunset over the water.

Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel, SantoriniPerivolas HotelCanaves Oia Suites - Small Luxury Hotels of the WorldAspaki by Art MaisonsSanto Pure Oia Suites & VillasKatikies Santorini - Pelagos House - The Leading Hotels Of The WorldAndronis Luxury Suites

Fira & Imerovigli

Best for Caldera vistas and dining

These central cliffside settlements offer some of the highest vantage points on the island, ideal for panoramic views of the volcano. Fira acts as the lively transport and shopping hub, while neighboring Imerovigli provides a quieter, more residential atmosphere.

Cavo Tagoo SantoriniSantorini Princess Spa HotelLilium Hotel SantoriniGrace Hotel, Auberge CollectionOrama Hotel & SpaAelia Luxury SuitesApeiron Blue Santorini by Apeiron Hotels

Megalochori & the East Coast

Best for Beaches and wine tasting

This area combines the traditional, quiet inland village of Megalochori with the flatter eastern plains of the island. It is the best base for accessing Santorini's volcanic black-sand beaches, such as Kamari and Monolithos, away from the caldera crowds.

Santorini Kastelli ResortVedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, SantoriniAelia Thalassa

Areas to consider

Travellers seeking classic caldera views should avoid staying on the flat eastern coast, as destinations like Kamari and Monolithos face away from the volcanic basin.

How we chose these hotels

At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google (weighted by how many reviews sit behind them), five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.

As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own. When the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.

Frequently Asked Questions

While most high-end properties on the island welcome families, Apeiron Blue Santorini by Apeiron Hotels stands out for offering adults-only cliffside tranquility. It features private outdoor spaces for every room, quiet infinity pools with sweeping Aegean Sea views, and an on-site restaurant with room service.

For warm weather, the best months are June, July, August, and September, with the sea temperature peaking at 26.1 degrees Celsius in August. If you prefer a quieter experience, the shoulder months of May and October offer cooler days while still providing a pleasant climate for exploring the island.

Orama Hotel & Spa is highly recommended for families. It provides dedicated child-friendly amenities and swimming pools, alongside family rooms. It is centrally yet quietly located in Fira, though please note its inland position lacks caldera views.

Aelia Thalassa offers direct access to Monolithos Beach, alongside an infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea. Alternatively, Santorini Kastelli Resort sits just a two-minute walk from Kamari Beach and features a secluded, landscaped garden setting, though the beach there consists of coarse black pebbles.

Several properties offer private water features. Andronis Luxury Suites provides private outdoor hot tubs with Aegean views, while Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas offers private verandas with hot tubs. Cavo Tagoo Santorini also has suites with either private pools or hot tubs, plus caldera sunset views.

Grace Hotel, Auberge Collection features Michelin-starred Mediterranean fine dining on its cliffside property in Imerovigli. Guests can also experience high-end dining at Katikies Santorini - Pelagos House, which offers culinary creations by Hector Botrini, or enjoy the cliffside Lycabettus Restaurant at Andronis Luxury Suites.
