Shaded poolside lounge with striped cushions on a built-in sofa, sunbeds beside the outdoor pool

Water,
a long breakfast,
and time.

A Santorini hotel with indoor thermal and outdoor pools

Our days are shaped by the light. An indoor thermal pool, a long, unhurried breakfast, and wellness arranged with Santorini Zen Spa.

Spa & Wellness

Arranged with Santorini Zen Spa.

Two massage beds in red towels in front of an oak cabinet, a woven towel basket, three floating shelves and a black basin

We do not run a spa of our own. We would rather point you to people who do it well: Santorini Zen Spa is our wellness partner. Tell the front desk and we will help you arrange a treatment, the kind of thing that makes a slow day slower.

Partner: Santorini Zen Spa
Booking: Through the front desk

The Terrace

The end of the day, outside.

White roof overhang and slatted rooftop parapet at one corner of the building, set against a wide clear blue sky

Low sun throwing palm shadows across white walls by a covered dining table with vases of palm leaves and wire ceiling lamps

Outdoor seating for the hour the light turns gold. We are in the heart of Fira. Sit out, or walk out. Both are right.

Setting: Outdoor seating
Location: Heart of Fira
Reception: 24 hours
