Hotels that could only be in Greece
HAND-PICKED, PERSONALLY VISITED
We partner with hotels that carry the spirit of their island or village: buildings made from local stone and lime, run by people who know the land, and designed with the light and landscape rather than against them. Here are a few we love.
Oia, Santorini
Cave suites carved into the caldera
Smooth white arches, private plunge pools and nothing between you and the volcano's rim. Saint takes the island's traditional cave houses and pares them back to light, stone and sea — best enjoyed as the sun drops behind Thirasia.
Mykonos
The quiet side of Mykonos
Low, whitewashed buildings, deep shade and a small white chapel, laid out like a Cycladic village above the sea. Kalesma trades the island's party image for stillness: thick walls, natural textures and long views across the Aegean.
Monemvasia, Peloponnese
A Byzantine mansion, brought back to life
Below the medieval rock of Monemvasia, an old stone estate and its namesake cistern have been restored into a hotel of terraced pools, vineyards and citrus groves. Evenings are for the lantern-lit courtyard and wines from the hills around it.
Corfu
An Ionian manor among the olive groves
A pale-stone mansion mirrored in a long reflecting pool, with the green hills of Corfu all around. The Olivar pairs Venetian-era elegance with clean, contemporary design: the Ionian at its most serene.
Kolymbithres, Paros
Cycladic simplicity, quietly perfected
Whitewashed arches, shaded courtyards and a pool framed by old pines, a short walk from the granite coves of Kolymbithres. A member of Design Hotels, Parīlio is proof that the Cyclades need very little to be beautiful.
Milos
Where the pool meets the Aegean
Infinity pools that seem to spill straight into the sea, white terraces and reed shades swaying in the meltemi. Milos is the island of coloured cliffs and hidden coves, and Artemis is the place to come back to after a day exploring them.
Sifnos
Dry-stone walls above a Sifnian bay
Built from the island's own stone and set into the hillside, each suite opens onto a private pool and a view down to the bay. Inside: lime plaster, carved niches and handmade ceramics, a nod to Sifnos's long pottery tradition.
These are just a few of our favourites. Every hotel we list is hand-picked.
