Grace Hotel Santorini sits high on the cliffs of Imerovigli, above the caldera and the Aegean, in one of the best-placed villages on the island. It is a boutique, design-led retreat in whitewashed Cycladic style, with deluxe rooms, suites and infinity suites, many with private plunge pools open to the caldera view, and a separate villa. The hotel has the largest infinity pool in Imerovigli, looking out over the volcano and the sea. Dining centres on Varoulko Santorini, by Michelin-awarded chef Lefteris Lazarou, serving Greek and Mediterranean seafood above the caldera. A long list of experiences runs from sunrise yoga and in-suite massages to wine tours, sailing and private dinners. It is a clifftop sanctuary rather than a beach hotel, with the island’s beaches reached as day trips. It suits couples and honeymooners who want views, design and quiet over a beachfront base.
