Andronis Boutique’s 25 sleek, cave-style suites and villas are a masterclass in refined, romantic indulgence. Sculpted into the hillside curves of the caldera, they blend traditional Santorinian architecture with stylishly curated interiors and elegant Cycladic charm. All capture the hypnotic, sweeping views out over the caldera from private terraces with hot tubs or private pools.

Andronis Boutique’s Lauda Restaurant, breathtakingly nestled by the caldera’s edge, was the first restaurant in Oia, back in 1971, when locals and visitors alike gathered to convene over traditional food sourced from the local area. That ethos continues today, with regional ingredients used to create fresh dishes, curated by world-renowned chefs. Each plate is an expression of artistry, best savoured with sunset views and a glass raised to toast the beauty of Santorini. The signature Chef’s Table dining option offers a memorable tasting journey, carefully curated for a truly memorable experience (needs to be booked in advance).

Tucked into the cliffs, Andronis Boutique’s Mare Sanus Spa offers indulgent relaxing treatments designed to restore balance and awaken the senses.

It’s worth the energetic hike to the picturesque waterfront of Ammoudi Bay, accessed via the 200 or so steps down the burnt orange cliff – the start of this steep descent is not far from the end of Oia’s main street. Enjoy a relaxing, long lunch at one of the seafood tavernas. – all are perfect for gazing at Santorini’s legendary sunsets. Tables by the water’s edge are sought after for watching the multiples boats and catamarans sail into port as the sun dips below the Aegean.
