Top White Beach Hotel Reviews

Elements of Caldera Suites

Elements of Caldera Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Our family stay at Elements of Caldera Suites exceeded every expectation. We booked two suites — one for our teenagers and one for us — and each came with its own private jacuzzi and private swimming pool right on the terrace. Having that extra space and privacy made it feel less like a hotel stay and more like having our own little cliffside retreat, which was perfect for a family trip where everyone wanted some independence. One thing to know: it’s on the other side of the island from the main tourist areas, so you’ll definitely want a rental car. But honestly, you’re likely going to be driving around Santorini anyway, and the tradeoff is completely worth it — this spot is quiet, gorgeous, and far less touristy than Fira or Oia. If you want to get away from the crowds and don’t mind the drive, this is genuinely the perfect place to stay. The setting itself is spectacular: perched in the cliffs of Akrotiri with sweeping, uninterrupted caldera views. Mornings meant coffee by our own plunge pool watching the sunrise, and evenings were about soaking in the jacuzzi as the sky turned pink and orange over the water. The kids loved having their own suite and pool to relax in after a day of exploring. Free breakfast was included every day on the terrace — fresh pastries, local produce, great coffee — and the staff were exceptionally kind and hospitable, every single one of them. We had a wonderful time and felt genuinely taken care of throughout our stay. A wonderful, memorable"
