SANTO MARIS OIA, GREECE

We always look forward to discovering new swanky hotels on one of our favourite islands in the world, and it looks like the Santo Maris ticks all the boxes. The resort combines Aegean and local Cycladic architecture with luxurious and modern facilities. There will be 44 suites and four villas, all with caldera-view verandas, Jacuzzi and sunbeds while in public areas guests will enjoy outdoor swimming pools and a heated indoor pool in the spa, an a la carte restaurant and bar, and even two churches (for weddings).
