A quiet-sided Santorini escape with a spa at its heart

Set just above the village of Pyrgos, North Santorini is the kind of place that makes the island feel gentler. You’re close enough to slip into the energy of Fira when you want it, yet far from the crowds, with open skies and wide views that bring everything back to a slower pace. It’s Santorini, but softer, calmer, and beautifully unhurried.

The hotel’s style is clean and contemporary, designed to let the light do most of the talking. Suites and villas are shaped around outdoor living, with terraces made for long mornings and late swims. Many come with private pools or hot tubs, so the day can begin with a quiet dip and end under a cooling sky, with warm water and the island stretching out beyond the edge of the terrace.

Wellness is where North Santorini truly leans in. Natura Spa was created to add a restorative layer to the stay, a full sensory pause from the outside world. The facilities are built for proper switch-off time, with an indoor heated pool, treatment and massage rooms, a hammam, a cave hot tub, and a relaxation area that makes it easy to stay longer than planned. If you like to keep moving, there’s also a fully equipped gym and a cross-training area, ideal for a quick reset between slow breakfasts and golden-hour plans.
