Santorini Princess Luxury Spa Hotel is a cliffside hotel at Imerovigli with a clear emphasis on spa and views. The booking page shows seven room types, all oriented toward the sea or the caldera, from a standard double with a sea view through double rooms and superior rooms with a caldera view to a triple room, a two-bedroom suite for four, a serenity suite with a hot tub and a grand honeymoon villa with a hot tub and caldera view, which is the largest at around nine hundred square feet. The spa is the signature, with aromatherapy, body treatments and hydrotherapy, a steam room and a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub. A free breakfast buffet is served, and there is an on-site restaurant and a bar, free self parking, a limousine service and laundry. The hotel is rated at the top of the scale by guests on the booking page, with many hundreds of reviews. The location is the other half of the appeal: the caldera is a two-minute walk, the path from Fira to Oia passes within fifteen minutes on foot and the airport is about twenty minutes away by car. It is a hotel for travellers who want real facilities, a spa routine and the view, at a scale that feels personal rather than a large resort.
Choosing a room
The standard doubles give a sea view at the lowest price; the caldera-view doubles and superior rooms are the ones to choose if the view is the reason for your trip; the triple room and the two-bedroom caldera view room suit families and groups; the serenity suite and the honeymoon villa add a private hot tub and more space. Room sizes are listed on the booking page, which helps you compare.
What the spa offers
The spa is the reason to choose this hotel over its neighbours. Aromatherapy and body treatments are available, with hydrotherapy and a steam room to follow, and the seasonal pool and hot tub are good for an afternoon of recovery after a day on the volcano or the caldera path. Treatments should be booked ahead in high season. The restaurant and bar mean you can dine on site, though Imerovigli has several restaurants within walking distance.
Practical notes
An airport shuttle is available on request for a fee per vehicle, and the hotel provides free self parking, which is helpful if you plan to explore by car. The booking page does not describe a seasonal closure, but the pool is seasonal, so check dates and the pool schedule if you are travelling in the shoulder months.
Like all cliffside properties, there are steps between levels, so ask about the room position if mobility is a concern. It suits couples, honeymooners and spa-minded travellers, and it is a good base for the Fira to Oia hike.
