Santorini Infinity Pools – My Advice

• One of the most common pictures of Santorini is a dazzling pool perched on the cliff with the water of the pool merging with the waters of the Aegean in the distant background. In reality, there are very few true infinity pools on Santorini and – I’ll be honest – not all of the pools listed below are technically infinity pools, which for aficionados has a very specific definition. But they are all wonderful pools. Many peek over the edge of the caldera cliff and have incredible views of the volcano or sunset – or both.
• The ideal infinity pool in Santorini is heated and has sunset views over the caldera. The view is the most important aspect of a Santorini infinity pool. The caldera is the island’s main attraction, so being able to see it from the pool is a huge asset for a hotel. Sunset views are unparalleled, especially if you can watch the sun set directly in the sea without anything interrupting the view. Although it’s usually warm enough to swim throughout the summer, visitors in spring and fall will want a heated pool, so the water will be warm enough to enjoy during cooler weather.
• Most hotels that offer infinity pools with all three prized points (caldera view, sunset view, and heated) are in or near Imerovigli. This central, coastal village sits at the highest vantage point along the caldera, and most buildings here face west. The tips of the island (Oia and Akrotiri) bend inward toward Imerovigli, as if hugging the village. Thirassia Island and the volcanoes sit directly across. But depending on a hotel’s elevation on the caldera and its precise location, Skaros Rock can sometimes block the view to the sun. The less populated stretch of land just north of the village is home to many newer hotels that are more likely to offer heated pools.
• There are also many great Santorini hotels with private pools and caldera views.

Santorini Hotels with Infinity Pools

1. Grace Santorini – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
Our favorite infinity pool in Santorini. Grace has the largest pool on the caldera. Although some rooms on the lowest floors of the hotel have views that are partially obscured by Skaros Rock, the heated infinity pool has an unobstructed view of the sunset every evening from its lofty Imerovigli perch. A Michelin-awarded restaurant offers poolside drinks and plates.

2. Katikies Hotel – Oia

• Caldera View • Heated
Our favorite hotel infinity pool in Oia are here at Katikies. This ultra-luxe destination is home to three lagoon-inspired infinity pools (one heated, two cool) with astonishing caldera views. The pools are spread out over different floors, so guests are never too far from the water. Each pool deck has its own bar with attentive servers delivering outstanding champagne, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, and locally-sourced Greek dishes.

3. Cavo Tagoo – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
This swanky, heated infinity pool offers double-sized sunbeds on the terrace and “floating” sunbeds set in the shallow end of the pool, all with the option of champagne service under the sun. A Japanese robata grill serves upscale and casual fare throughout the day. Panoramic sunset caldera views with a line of sight from Oia to Akrotiri.

4. Saint Hotel – Oia

• Caldera View • Heated
The stylish Saint Hotel offers a luxe, heated infinity pool lined with artsy sunbed-umbrella sets and outstanding caldera views. The adjacent Trinity restaurant offers lunch and dinner that spotlights local ingredients and Mediterranean recipes with international touches; bar service is available until after midnight.

5. Astra Suites – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated Seasonally
Another of our absolute favorite hotels in Santorini. The infinity pool at Astra offers jaw-dropping caldera and sunset views. The pool is heated during the cooler months of spring and fall, but is refreshingly cool during the hot summer months. An all-day menu of casual Mediterranean fare, Santorinian wines, and chill-out cocktails is offered at the pool bar until sunset.

6. Homeric Poems – Firostefani

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Our favorite infinity pool in Firostefani. Dazzling cliffside infinity pool with caldera sunset views. The all-day pool lounge offers toes-in-the-water light bites, local wine, and cold cocktails.

7. Tsitouras Collection – Firostefani

• Caldera View • Sunset View
The infinity pool at Tsitours Collection is so picturesque that they had to rope off the entryway to keep influencers from intruding for selfies. This polished pool sits dramatically on the rooftop of a neoclassical mansion next to a minimalistic sun terrace with a bust of Maria Callas peering over the caldera’s edge. Refreshments are served in the pool area all day, followed by complimentary sunset cocktails.

8. West East Suites – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
Stunning caldera and sunset views from this heated pool just north of Imerovigli village. Its location outside the village center makes this a more secluded, relaxed poolside experience than most others on the caldera’s rim. All-day food and drinks service is on offer from Fly Away Restaurant, offering a range of Santorinian wines and organic, seasonal Greek fare with Eastern touches.

9. Athina Luxury Suites – Fira

• Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
My favorite pool in Fira (but as you can see in the photo not a true infinity pool). Athina’s heated pool has the only swim-up bar in Santorini – no need to leave the water to snag a spirited cocktail or refreshing Assyrtiko here. Food and drink service all day at Esperisma Greek-Mediterranean restaurant onsite. Sweeping views over the volcanoes, caldera, and sunset.

10. Andronis Arcadia – Oia

• Sunset View
With 114 rooms and suites, family-friendly Andronis Arcadia is one of the largest and most luxurious resorts in Santorini. This sprawling property is home to one infinity pool with direct sunset views, as well as the Grande Pool, a 1000-square-meter, lagoon-style pool. One section of the lagoon pool has an infinity edge and sunset views. Most guests end up choosing the lagoon pool over the infinity pool. Located at the western end of Oia, sunset views are over the Aegean Sea, but not the caldera. Nevertheless, the views are incredible with a direct line of sight and no impediments. Both pools are served by gourmet restaurants and bars with a selection of signature drinks, modern Greek fare, and sushi.

11. Nobu – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Stylish split-level infinity pool with expansive sunset caldera views and elevated Japanese-fusion dining and drinks. Tuesday through Sunday, the hotel’s resident DJ spins a calming mix from noon to 3:00 pm and from 7:30 to 10:30 pm. Their indulgent Sunset by the Pool experience includes a sunbed reservation for two, a curated light menu, and signature craft cocktails.

Set in a former monastery (there are still Dominican nuns next door), Katikies Garden showcases history and serenity, along with a rooftop infinity pool that boasts a bird’s-eye view over the caldera and sits at eye-level with church bell towers and iconic blue domes. The pool bar serves refreshing drinks along with a tasty menu of inspired Santorinian and Greek dishes all day.

13. Charisma Suites – Oia

• Sunset View
This charming boutique hotel offers two infinity pools, both with sweeping views over Ammoudi Bay toward the sunset. When throngs of tourists elbow for space and the Oia castle ruins nearby, this is the particular sunset view they are vying for. It is technically not the caldera, but still a highly sought-after sunset view. The upper level pool is served by a full bar, while the lower pool has a bar and restaurant. Food and drinks can be ordered and brought to your sunbed at both pools. The upper-level bar offers complimentary sparkling wine and snacks during every sunset.

15. Aenaon Villas – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View
This secluded collection of luxury, self-service villas offers a tranquil infinity pool with wide-open sunset views from its lofty perch on top of the caldera. There is no restaurant on site, but the hotel cooperates with some of the island’s best dining spots for delivery.

16. Galaxy Suites – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Galaxy’s glassy infinity pool has a trendy vibe with open-top cabanas, pouf sunbeds, and a champagne lounge all facing out over the caldera toward the sunset. The hotel’s popular Le Moustache Restaurant serves Greek-Mediterranean dishes poolside all day and into the evening. There is also a second pool (not infinity-style) on a higher sun terrace than the infinity pool with a quieter atmosphere, though the view is better from the main pool.

17. San Antonio – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View
San Antonio is a romantic getaway set in a clifftop nook north of Imerovigli. Its infinity pool boasts serene caldera and sunset views with no other hotels or buildings interrupting the expanse of blue. The Sun Lounge bar serves Mediterranean light fare and drinks by the pool.

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Imerovigli is the highest village on the caldera, and Altana hotel is the hotel built at the highest point of the village. Their infinity pool is the highest on the caldera and offers the absolute best caldera and sunset views of any pool in Santorini. Light snacks, coffee, wine, and cocktails from their cafe are offered poolside.

19. Cosmopolitan Suites – Fira

A personal favorite in Fira, Cosmopolitan’s infinity pool is perched squarely above the volcano, offering wide views over the caldera and sunset. Elegant small plates, local wine, and craft cocktails are available all day from the pool bar.

20. Santorini Secret Suite & Spa – Oia

• Caldera View • Heated

A gourmet Greek restaurant sits right above the pool and opens for dinner only.

23. Katikies Kirini Suites – Oia

• Caldera View
Beautifully sculpted pool set on a luxurious sun terrace. The pool faces over the caldera toward Thirassia Island and the heart of Oia. Attentive staff are on hand all day to serve up drinks and dishes from the decadent Katikies Lounge, which offers a robust menu of creative Mediterranean dishes with international flair.

24. Astarte Suites – Akrotiri

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Our favorite infinity pool in Akrotiri. Astarte offers a breathtaking sunset and caldera view from its peaceful infinity pool. The pool and its built-in jacuzzi are carved into the cliffside with no other structures nearby to break up the view on Santorini’s unique geological marvels. The pool bar serves light comfort food favorites, cocktails, wine, and more throughout the day.

25. Coco-Mat Hotel – Akrotiri

• Caldera View • Sunset View
Another Akrotiri stunner. Staying in the south end of the island offers a unique perspective on the caldera with views angled toward the northwest, with sunset views centered on the volcanoes, Aspronisi Islet, and Thirassia Island, with Oia village jutting out in the distance. There are no other buildings nearby to disrupt the view.

26. Canaves Sunday Suites – Oia

• Caldera View
Canaves Sunday is a sophisticated boutique hotel with a sparkling infinity pool hanging over the caldera’s edge. Though the pool is on the smaller side, it’s never crowded. The hotel features only eight suites, some of which have their own pools or jacuzzis, leaving the main pool and deck calm and serene. Poolside cocktails, mocktails, wine, and tapas are available all day.

27. Perivolas – Oia

• Caldera View
This crystal blue infinity pool looks over the endless sapphire water of the caldera with Thirassia and Oia village in frame. The pool bar offers drinks and snacks throughout the day. Service is warm and friendly but never intrusive.

28. Tholos Resort – Imerovigli

• Caldera View • Sunset View
A beautiful infinity pool, albeit on the smaller side, with exceptional caldera views over Skaros Rock toward the volcanoes and islands. There is a snack bar next to the pool, and a restaurant serving creative Mediterranean dishes throughout the day.

29. Nous – Mesaria

• Heated
This is the only hotel on the list with no caldera or sunset view. But it deserves a mention here, because Nous’ infinity pool is the largest pool on the island – a whole acre in size. That’s four times the size of the next largest, the Grande Pool at Andronis Arcadia. And Nous’ infinity pool is heated and offers views of the Aegean Sea in the distance. The pool bar is open all day for upscale versions of Greek comfort foods, light fare, and drinks under the sun.
