La Mer Deluxe Hotel and Spa

This adults-only retreat is all crisp white walls, sun-dappled courtyards, and lush greenery. And the location? Spot on. Just across the road, you’ll find Kamari’s striking black sand beach – a dramatic stretch of volcanic shoreline that’s perfect for sunbathing, sea-dipping, and shore-side strolls.

Despite its boutique feel, everything you need is within arm’s reach here. The pool is the heart of the action, with its whirlpool section, leafy surroundings, and plenty of loungers for that all-important sunbathing session. The spa is a standout – designed for pure indulgence, with a sauna, Turkish bath, and a menu of massages and facials that will have you floating on cloud nine. Fancy a change of scenery? The island’s cosmopolitan capital, Thira, is less than 10 minutes away by taxi – ideal for boutique shopping, cliffside dining, and catching Santorini’s famous sunsets in all their glory.
