3. Katikies Santorini

As told by Katikies themselves, ‘the hotel’s unique, magical spirit was inspired by the rush of feelings that Santorini awakens in the heart of every traveller’.

The island of Santorini is the quintessential holiday destination – romantic, poetic, reflective and in a class of its own – and the properties of the Katikies group were created with the same passion.

The locations combine peace and privacy, providing a safe place to stay where guests can enjoy the surrounding bliss.

The architecture blends seamlessly with the local area, enhancing its appearance and giving travellers a taste of authentic and exclusive hospitality.

2. Iconic Santorini

Grace is the leitmotif of the hotel located in the stylish (and quiet) village of Imerovigli.

For a small hotel the decor is superb; stairs coil down past the white, pale blue and ochre façade to a good-sized pool on a terrace with breathtaking views of the caldera.

There are 19 cave suites that feature whitewashed walls, driftwood décor and embroidered cushions, giving the vibe of chic bohemian caravans, whilst luxury is adequately catered for with king beds, COCO-MAT bedding and Aussie Aesop toiletries.

Grotto suites have indoor heated plunge pools and Caldera suites have outdoor plunge pools.

Honeymooners will love the vast Cliff suite with breathtaking views and (totally private) outdoor cave plunge pool or the Iconic suite with its delightful indoor cave plunge pool.

1. Marbella Elix

Set to swing open it’s doors on 30th April 2021, the grand, new MarBella Elix hotel is situated atop the beautiful Karavostasi Beach in the Parga region.

Lush olive groves, coastal views and mountainous geography make up the verdant landscape that surrounds the property.

The third hotel to join the MarBella Collection portfolio, 146 suites are styled focussing on three key elements; the breath-taking ocean-view scenery, the proximity to the once-inaccessible vast coastline, which is now easily reached by a small path, and the local architecture elements of stone, marble and wood.

Rooms feature wrap-around patios and relaxed decor: polished furnishings and spacious bathrooms, but it’s the undisrupted views of the ocean which make MarBella Elix a must-stay in Greece.
