WhiteDeck Hotel  

Perched on Imerovigli’s highest cliff, WhiteDeck Hotel looks straight out over the Santorini Caldera and the Aegean Sea. You’re minutes from Skaros Rock and a short drive to Athinios Port, Oia Castle and Ancient Thira — ideal for sunset chasers and caldera-view seekers.

This boutique property has seven recently renovated luxury suites with private furnished verandas facing the ruins of the Venetian castle and sweeping caldera views. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with minibars, iPod docks and 32-inch satellite TVs; bathrooms feature complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Expect Mediterranean landscaping, breakfast on your balcony and the option to unwind in a jet tub as the sun dips behind the volcano.

Pamper-yourself extras include onsite massages, a spa/jet tub and a bar serving light snacks. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. There’s concierge and tour assistance for diving or island excursions, plus free parking for guests who drive. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and watch spectacular caldera sunsets from the veranda.

Front-desk services include luggage storage and a safe-deposit box, plus private check-in/out and car rental on request. Shuttle service to the airport and ferry terminal is available for a surcharge. The property offers concierge and tour desk support; staff speak English, German and French.

A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily (typically mornings) and can be enjoyed on your balcony with caldera views. Grab a bite at the snack bar/deli or order limited-hour room service. The bar/lounge pours drinks and light snacks for easy evenings after sunset.
