Santorini Secret Suites & Spa
Romantic cave-suite luxury. Intimate and quiet compared to the foot traffic of Oia's main walkway just above. Built for couples and honeymooners who want caldera views from bed, a private plunge pool on their terrace, and a genuinely good restaurant steps away.
Ask specifically for a caldera-facing suite when booking — some rooms look onto the pedestrian walkway side, not the sea
Why It Matters
One of the few caldera-edge properties in Oia where every suite has either a private pool or hot tub with direct caldera views. Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Green Key certified. The award-winning Black Rock Restaurant and the Harmonia Spa are shared across the Secret Hotels group, meaning guests at this property get access to a full service ecosystem despite staying in a boutique 17-unit complex.
Seventeen suites and a standalone junior villa carved into Oia's caldera cliffs — every single one looks out over the volcano and the Aegean. The suites lean into classic Cycladic cave architecture: white walls, ambient lighting, rounded edges, but with bright color pops and contemporary furnishings that keep it from feeling like a museum piece. This is an adults-only property (15+) with an intimate, almost private-residence feel.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Absolute Suite
The Absolute Suite adds a proper open-plan sitting area alongside the bedroom and can sleep up to three guests. The terrace (30–40 sqm) is more generous with its hot tub, and the bathroom upgrades to a hydromassage bathtub option. One of the more popular choices for small groups or guests wanting extra lounge space.
Queen · 48 sqm
Grand Suite
The flagship in-property suite. A large king wooden round bed is the centerpiece of the bedroom, paired with an adjoining living area and a private fitness area inside the suite itself. The bathroom goes next-level: a steam room with rain shower, aromatherapy, chromotherapy, and tropical music alongside the hydromassage shower. The 40 sqm panoramic terrace holds a private outdoor heated pool. If you're splurging, this is the one.
King (round)
Honeymoon Suite
Named for its occasion and designed accordingly — the step up from hot tub to a private outdoor heated swimming pool is significant. The 40 sqm private balcony with pool and sunbeds is the headline feature. A spacious bedroom with adjoining sitting area rounds out the interior. Popular enough that it books out well in advance in peak season.
Queen · 48 sqm
Infinity Suite
Similar footprint to the Honeymoon Suite but with its own distinct layout — the sitting area faces the sea directly, making it one of the best unobstructed sea-view arrangements in the property. The private heated pool on the terrace completes the picture.
Queen · 45 sqmJunior Villa
Located 50 metres from the main property along the Oia pedestrian walkway — so it's set at street level rather than carved into the caldera. Two bedrooms, each with a queen canopy bed and en-suite bathroom, plus a spacious living room and a small fully-equipped kitchenette. The outdoor patio has a dining area, sunbeds, a hot tub, and a private pool with partial sea view. Works well for two couples or a small group. The canopy beds and separate entrance give it a distinct villa feel.
Queen (x2, canopy) · 120 sqmPremium Suite
A step up in both indoor and outdoor square footage. The larger balcony (20–25 sqm) makes outdoor living more spacious. Some units come with a bathtub option in addition to the shower-jet. Good choice for guests who want more terrace space for the hot tub and lounging.
Queen · 42 sqmPure Suite
The entry-level suite — though 'entry-level' at this property still means a queen bed in an open-plan room with caldera views, a glass cabin shower-jet, and a private panoramic balcony with a hot tub, sunbeds, and al fresco dining area. Compact but well-designed.
