Astarte Suites  

Perched on the volcanic cliffs of Akrotiri, Santorini, this 15-suite boutique hotel stares straight into the Caldera and the Aegean Sea. You're a short drive from Red Beach and just about 1.5 km from the Akrotiri archaeological site, with White Beach only minutes away.

An intimate, romance-first retreat—no children under 13—designed in natural Mediterranean tones with built-in beds and bespoke décor. Suites open to private terraces (many with private Jacuzzis) and volcano-facing views, and come stocked with minibars, satellite TV/iPod docking, bathrobes, slippers and designer toiletries.

Soak in an infinity pool or choose between indoor and outdoor pools while cocktails flow at the Morning Star pool bar. Spa treatments, onsite massages and facials, a diving club and bikes to rent keep you active; concierge and a tour desk book excursions and transfers. Free two-way airport/port transfer and on-site parking make arrivals easy—wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your private terrace.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, express check-in/check-out and concierge services. The hotel also offers wedding services and a ferry-terminal shuttle for a surcharge.

Alali Restaurant serves Greek and Mediterranean dishes made with fresh local produce and offers poolside ocean views. Enjoy breakfast on your terrace or a complimentary full breakfast each morning; the Morning Star pool bar serves cocktails, snacks and light meals, and limited room service is available.
