Santo Maris Oia Luxury Suites and Spa is a 5-star all-suite and villa hotel which offers unique moments of serenity and relaxation. Situated in the village of Oia in Santorini and nestled within 8 acres of lush tranquility overlooking the Aegean Sea, it combines the local Cycladic architectural tradition with luxurious and modern facilities and amenities. It is separated into five sprawling neighbourhoods with commodious suites, five pools and expansive communal areas. Inspired by the light and the colors of the island, the sophisticated suites and villas are designed with boho-chic touches and with sustainability in mind to create a carefree summer home vibe and eclectic ambience at once. Roomy, airy interiors offer a sense of harmony, with earthy tones, boho-chic touches, ethnic and minimal textured features like Santorini’s forged cement furnishings and showers. Every single one of its 65 Suites and Villas comes with its own quaint kitchenette, living areas, plush beds with crisp bedding, a blissful sense of calm and their own scenic personal veranda with a heated jacuzzi and sun-loungers. The natural surroundings like black volcanic rock sourced from the surrounding landscape, domed Cycladic-style roofs and designer touches in wood, brass, silver, straw and bronze generate feelings of balance. Guests can either stroll around the picturesque alleys surrounded by greenery and the whitewashed domed suites or splash around the dazzling infinity pools and gaze at the renown sunset of Oia, making their stay an indulgently exclusive experience. The hotel itself was built in a completely eco-friendly way, using traditional techniques that honour Santorini’s heritage.
