Kivotos Santorini, Santorini, Greece

Kivotos Santorini


A romantic cliffside hideaway in Imerovigli
High above the Caldera’s cobalt cradle, Kivotos Santorini unfolds like a private reverie—where whitewashed lines meet volcanic drama, and the Aegean horizon stretches without end. This is Imerovigli at its most poetic: unhurried, untamed, and impossibly beautiful.
Every suite and villa is a study in quiet luxury—neutral tones, flowing light, and textures that whisper Cycladic simplicity. Some have plunge pools, others terraces made for sunsets, all crafted with the kind of discretion and elegance that invites you to slow down, look out, and breathe.
Here, days begin with breakfast kissed by sea breeze and end with golden-hour aperitifs or a private dinner under starlit skies. MAVRO, the hotel’s restaurant, reimagines local flavours with precision and flair—each dish a celebration of Santorini’s raw beauty and bold tradition.

Reviews
We just got back from three nights at Kivotos and honestly it was the highlight of our whole trip to Santorini. The location in Imerovigli is unbeatable. You get the caldera, the sea, and those sunsets right in front of you every evening, and we never got tired of it. We'd just sit on the terrace and watch. Our suite was incredible. Gorgeous shower, a big bathtub we actually used, and a private terrace with a jacuzzi and sun loungers where we ended up spending most of our downtime. Nice extras too, like an iPad, a speaker, and mood lighting that made the evenings feel really romantic. The staff are what took it from great to unforgettable. They genuinely wanted to help with everything. They gave us a hand with the rental car, did breakfast either on the restaurant terrace with the view or in our room and on the terrace when we felt lazy, sorted out our sunset cruise and dinner reservations, told us about the beach club, and gave us great local tips. The thing that really got us: they surprised us with balloons and wine in the room for a birthday we never even told them about. No idea how they knew, but it meant a lot. We'll definitely be back, and we're recommending it to everyone. Thank you for an amazing few days.
Fantastic hotel with a warm and cozy atmosphere! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail.The excellent service and welcoming environment made our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommended, and I would be happy to stay here again in the future!
We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The service was top notch and staff were forward thinking, always trying to help us out with recommendations and accommodations. We had breakfast delivered to our room each morning and the food from their restaurant was incredible. The facilities were 10/10. So gorgeous and amazing to have your own private hot tub and indoor pool. The view of the island as a whole from our room was incredible. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Santorini ! Thank you Kivotos for a wonderful luxury experience.
