"Every hotel in Santorini plays a part when it comes to the island’s picturesque panorama of whitewashed houses and turquoise water, but this spot in the town of Oia stands out for its first class views of the caldera, and chic minimal design. In each room, you’ll find arched ceilings and verandas—perfect for lazy afternoons spent reading in the sun—and beds are fitted with crisp, fine cotton sheets. Start the day with a swim in one of the hotel’s three infinity pools before retreating to the bar for a lunchtime cocktail, or the spa for pampering. Later, make your way to dinner at the candlelit Anthós by walking down winding steps carved into the cliffside. Order dishes like the langoustine tartare or sea bass served with fennel, and choose from an extensive wine list that spotlights local Santorini wineries."
