Part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, The Grace Hotel beckons as a gleaming white, minimalist marvel carved into a cliffside in the heart of Greece's sunset paradise. Rising steeply from the rock face, the hotel spans multiple levels overlooking the good side of Skaros Rock and the magical caldera in the distance. A limited number of rooms and suites guarantee you a peaceful and intimate dream vacation, while a Michelin-starred chef conjures up Greek specialties for you in the hotel's restaurant, and the surrounding landscape and history of the region are ideal for a variety of excursions.
All luxurious rooms, suites, and villas embody Santorini's sensual sophistication with natural materials and light colors. All feature spacious indoor and outdoor areas with heated plunge pools from which you can enjoy magnificent views of the caldera. They are decorated in a soft palette of gray and white, complemented by occasional splashes of purple. The artwork on the walls is by Yiorgos Kordakis. His black-and-white photographs of the island, commissioned especially for the hotel, convey an authentic feel for the place.
The intimate Santoro restaurant with its high dome serves contemporary Greek cuisine under the direction of award-winning chef Spiros Agious: pan-fried octopus with pasture-raised beef fillet and Apiliotis wine reduction, gyoza stuffed with fava beans and Volaki cheese, and lamb fricassee with pickled lemons and lime foam. Or enjoy light meals and cocktails by the pool; we love the cabanas with ocean views. The ultra-fresh yellowfin tuna sandwich and the oh-so-tender lamb burger are the standout stars of the menu. Breakfast is a sumptuous five-course feast that changes frequently, so guests can try something new every day.
The wellness guru at Grace Hotel drew inspiration from the natural surroundings of the volcanic island and its rich history; a land where centuries-old cultures have flourished in the gentle waters of the Aegean Sea and on the black and red sand beaches of the breathtaking coastline. The holistic spa treatments combine the power of healing traditions with modern techniques. The gym also offers breathtaking views, as does the yoga and Pilates studio. There are plenty of great excursion destinations to choose from, including a private vineyard tour with wine tasting of Santorini's finest wines.
Whitewashed houses, cobalt blue churches, and beaches with black and red sand characterize the island of Santorini, a seductive Mediterranean oasis steeped in mythology. Relax with a luxurious stay at the Grace Hotel in Imerovigli, a village with the most iconic views of Santorini. The resort is perched more than 300 meters above the caldera, offering magical views from almost every area. Enjoy unforgettable sunsets from your suite overlooking the caldera and let yourself be captivated by Santorini. The Grace Hotel also features a heated infinity pool that runs along the front of the hotel, perfect for swimming and relaxing with views of Skaros Rock. Daily Pilates and yoga classes are held in the on-site studio. Or would you prefer to work out in the fitness room with its iconic views?
