Chaise lounges, umbrellas, and attentive staff members await on the resort’s idyllic Shirley Valentine Beach, and a variety of excursions can be arranged too, including trips to the sacred island of Delos, said to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Today it’s a renowned UNESCO Heritage Site home to a huge archaeological area that includes the famous marble lions that managed to survive from the original nine that date all the way back to the 7th-century BC.

The property also boasts a beautiful infinity pool with a tiered deck that has a hot tub with stunning views of the sea and Delos Island.

Built on the north side of Paros near the town of Naoussa, Saint Andrea Seaside Resort is housed in a complex of traditional Cycladic buildings just across the sea with a beautiful view of Naoussa Bay. All rooms have at least one private patio or balcony and most have garden or partial sea views with those on the top floor featuring full Aegean views. Amenities include flat-screen TVs with DVD players, refrigerators, and coffee machines.

A generous free buffet breakfast is served daily while the large restaurant offers a menu of Mediterranean and Greek dishes.

Vione Paros is a contemporary hotel located on the eastern coast of Paros, near the village of Naoussa. The property consists of a limited number of suites, designed to offer privacy and a low-density feel rather than a resort atmosphere. Some suites also feature private outdoor areas with pools or terraces, reinforcing the emphasis on privacy. Architecture and interiors follow a restrained Cycladic style, with clean lines, pale stone, and muted tones throughout. The overall aesthetic is calm and minimal, with spaces oriented toward the sea and the surrounding landscape rather than decorative detail. Public areas and suites are arranged to maintain a sense of separation, contributing to a quiet, residential character.

Dining at the hotel is centered around a single restaurant and bar area, positioned to take advantage of open views and outdoor seating. The cuisine is Mediterranean in focus, drawing on regional Greek influences and seasonal ingredients. Breakfast is served in a relaxed setting, with an emphasis on simplicity rather than variety. A central swimming pool forms part of the main outdoor area, framed by terraces and seating rather than extensive poolside infrastructure. The bar operates throughout the day, serving drinks and light refreshments, and functions as the hotel’s primary social space without creating a busy atmosphere.

Wellness at Vione Paros is centered around the on-site Spa, a dedicated space designed for quiet, restorative use rather than extensive programming. The spa includes a indoor pool and treatment rooms, with a focus on calm interiors and a controlled, low-traffic environment. Facilities are intended to complement the hotel’s relaxed pace rather than function as a destination spa. The coastal setting and open views support a slower rhythm of stay, while the hotel’s location places it within practical distance of Naoussa for dining and local exploration.

Nestled into the Oia cliffs, one of the most desirable places to be in Santorini, Charisma Suites is an all-suite hotel with most of its cave-style suites carved into the caldera. One sits in a historic windmill perched atop the cliff. Every suite comes with a private terrace and a sunset view and most have their own heated plunge pools or outdoor Jacuzzis. There’s also a main infinity pool and a pool bar where guests can enjoy jaw-dropping views and nightly champagne sunset events with complimentary champagne and hors d’oeuvres.  Another larger, more tranquil infinity pool sits on the bottom floor boasting a magnificent view. Personalized service is exceptional, including a concierge for arranging wine tastings, excursions, and caldera cruises.

Overview

Tucked along the main pedestrian thoroughfare, Andronis Luxury Suites is hidden away looking more like a private club than a hotel. It sits within a restored captain’s mansion, providing the quintessential cliffside Santorini stay. Popular with honeymooners and other romance-seekers, you’ll get a welcome glass of sangria and a suite that includes a private hot tub as all 27 include them. Every suite also has a well-stocked bar, Nespresso machine, rain shower, and a bed that sits on a raised platform with a personal pillow selection to choose from. Of course, the sea view makes your stay even more magical. Start your day with a balcony breakfast with Champagne and strawberries, and after a day of exploring, perhaps a soothing massage in the spa. The restaurant serves all-organic dishes at the poolside, and there are private wine tastings at sunset too.
