Kivotos Santorini

Striking cliffside sanctuary.

Carved into the cliffs of Imerovigli, the sleek dark stone architecture of Kivotos Santorini offers a bold contrast to the island’s traditional whitewashed backdrop. This boutique retreat balances minimalist design with dramatic natural beauty, offering a serene perch from which to take in the Aegean.

Where You’re Staying

Guest accommodations feature sleek interiors with polished concrete, black lava stone, and panoramic sea views. The Signature Suite includes an indoor-outdoor heated pool, while the Honeymoon Suite offers a glass-fronted whirlpool overlooking the caldera. The Kivotos Villa adds two bedrooms and private butler service.

Where to Dine

Mavro Restaurant offers refined Mediterranean fare on a terrace suspended above the sea. Expect seasonal ingredients and a setting as bold as the flavors. Enjoy a cocktail and light fare at The Bar during sunset, or arrange a candlelit dinner in the wine cellar for a more intimate setting.

Where to Relax

Unwind in the privacy of your suite’s heated pool, or book a deep tissue massage. To really disconnect from the outside world, choose a one or two day retreat: regular morning and evening sessions include sound healing, yin yoga, breathwork, and chakra concentration with healing sounds.

What to Do

Discover Santorini’s layered history and natural beauty: hike the scenic Fira–Oia trail, tour ancient Akrotiri, or sail the caldera aboard a luxury catamaran. Speak to the hotel concierge for curated experiences like private wine tastings, off-road excursions, or a visit to the island’s iconic black sand beaches.
