Antoperla Luxury Hotel And Spa

If you’re enticed by the prospect of staying in an intimate boutique hotel rather than a vast, sprawling resort, you’ll feel very much at home at this charming spa hotel on the east coast of Santorini. Although relatively small in size, it certainly doesn’t compromise when it comes to the quality of amenities it offers – and its location could hardly be more ideal.

It sits just 100 metres from Perissa Beach, whose calm, clear water, black volcanic sand and array of buzzing bars and restaurants make it one of the best sunbathing and swimming spots on the island. When you’re not basking on the shores of the Aegean Sea, you’ve also got an outdoor pool back at the hotel where you can cool off from the sun and relax with your favourite drink from the bar. Visiting with little ones? There’s a separate swimming pool for children, too.
