Santorini Hotels: My Favorite Infinity Pools

  • Best overall pool: Grace Santorini in Imerovigli, for the best combination of size, caldera view, sunset view, and luxury setting.
  • Best Oia infinity pool: Katikies, with three beautiful pools and classic Oia caldera views.
  • Best Imerovigli infinity pool: Astra Suites, for warm service, romantic atmosphere, and one of the best caldera pool views in Santorini.
  • Best Firostefani infinity pool: Homeric Poems, with a small but gorgeous cliffside pool and easy access to Fira.
  • Best Fira infinity pool: Athina Luxury Suites, for caldera views, a swim-up bar, and the most convenient location.
  • Best Akrotiri infinity pool: Astarte Suites, for a quiet, romantic pool with a different angle on the caldera.
  • Best secluded infinity pool: Aenaon Villas, between Imerovigli and Oia, for privacy and wide-open views.
  • Best non-caldera resort pool: Nous in Mesaria, for the largest and best resort-style pool on the island.

Santorini Infinity Pools: My Advice

  • The view matters more than the pool. The classic Santorini hotel-pool photo is a cliffside pool that seems to merge with the blue of the caldera. In reality, there are not many true infinity pools on Santorini. Some pools below are technically plunge pools, cliffside pools, or regular pools with spectacular views. I include them because they deliver the Santorini pool experience travelers are usually looking for.
  • Imerovigli has the best infinity pools overall. It sits at the highest point of the caldera, with wide views over Skaros Rock, the volcano, Thirassia, and the whole curve of the island. If your priority is a pool with a dramatic caldera view, start in Imerovigli.
  • Oia has the most famous setting. Oia’s pools are beautiful and romantic, but few pools have both a caldera view and a sunset view. Most Oia pools face south into the caldera, while the famous sunset is to the west over the open Aegean.
  • Fira and Firostefani are best for convenience. Fira has restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and buses. Firostefani is quieter but still within walking distance of Fira. Their pools are usually smaller than the best pools in Imerovigli, but the views are excellent.
  • Akrotiri has space and quiet. The views are from the southern side of the caldera, looking back toward Fira, Imerovigli, and Oia. This is a different perspective, but it can be spectacular. A rental car is strongly recommended.
  • Heated pools matter outside peak summer. In April, May, early June, late September, and October, an unheated pool can be too cool to enjoy, especially when the wind is up. In July and August, heating matters less.
  • Private pools and infinity pools are different things. Many Santorini suites have private plunge pools or hot tubs, but not all hotels have a great shared infinity pool. For more room-by-room options, see my guide to Santorini hotels with private pools.
  • Caldera view, sunset view, and sea view are not the same. A pool can have a caldera view but no sunset view, a sunset view but no true caldera view, or a distant sea view that is not special. Always check hotel photos carefully before booking.

Santorini Hotels with Infinity Pools

1. Grace Santorini – Imerovigli

View down toward the infinity pool at Grace Hotel with Skaros Rock, the caldera, and Thirassia Island in the background in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
My favorite infinity pool in Santorini. Grace has one of the most dramatic hotel pools on the caldera, with a wide view over Skaros Rock, the volcano, Thirassia, and the sunset. The setting is pure Imerovigli: high, quiet, and spectacular. Some lower rooms at the hotel can have views partly blocked by Skaros Rock, but the main pool has a much more open view. This is the best choice if you want a true luxury hotel pool and are happy to pay for it.

2. Katikies Hotel – Oia

The pool at Katikies when we stayed there.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Heated Main Pool
My favorite hotel pool setup in Oia. Katikies has three beautiful pools spread across the cliffside, so guests are rarely far from the water. The main pool is heated, while the other pools are cooler and better for peak summer. The views are classic Oia caldera views, not necessarily direct sunset views. Service is polished, the terraces are gorgeous, and the whole hotel feels like the Santorini postcard brought to life.

3. Cavo Tagoo – Imerovigli

View toward the sunset from the infinity pool at Cavo Tagoo hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
A stylish, scene-y, heated infinity pool just north of Imerovigli, with floating sunbeds, double loungers, and panoramic views from Oia to Akrotiri. Cavo Tagoo is not the quietest or most traditional Santorini hotel, but the pool is unforgettable. Best for travelers who want a glossy, modern, high-energy version of Santorini luxury.

4. Saint Hotel – Oia

Almost sunset at the infinity pool above the caldera at Saint Hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Heated
Saint has one of the most stylish pools in Oia, with a long heated infinity pool, sculptural sunbed-and-umbrella sets, and sweeping caldera views. The hotel is quieter than central Oia but still close enough to enjoy the village. It is a great choice for couples who want a modern, polished, design-forward hotel with a strong pool scene.

5. Astra Suites – Imerovigli

Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated Seasonally
Another of my absolute favorite hotels in Santorini. Astra’s pool sits above Skaros Rock with jaw-dropping caldera and sunset views. It is heated in cooler months and left refreshingly cool in peak summer. The atmosphere is romantic and relaxed rather than flashy, with excellent service and a small pool bar serving Mediterranean dishes, Santorini wines, and cocktails until sunset.

6. Homeric Poems – Firostefani

The infinity pool at Homeric Poems in Firostefani.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
My favorite infinity pool in Firostefani. It is not huge, but the setting is wonderful: right on the cliff, with classic volcano and sunset views. Homeric Poems works especially well for couples who want a romantic caldera hotel but also want to walk easily into Fira for dinner, drinks, and buses.

7. Tsitouras Collection – Firostefani

Infinity pool and sun terrace overlooking the caldera toward the volcanoes and Thirassia Island at Tsitouras Collection in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
One of the most picturesque small pools in Santorini. The pool sits on the terrace of a neoclassical mansion, with a clean, elegant sun deck and wide views over the caldera. It is not a big resort pool, but it has real character and one of the most refined settings in Firostefani. Complimentary sunset cocktails are a nice touch.

8. West East Suites – Imerovigli

Infinity pool next to the bar and overlooking the caldera at West East Suites in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
A heated pool with stunning caldera and sunset views just north of Imerovigli. Its location outside the main village makes the pool feel more relaxed and secluded than many cliffside pools. Fly Away Restaurant serves food and drinks throughout the day, with Santorini wines, seasonal Greek cooking, and a polished poolside atmosphere.

9. Athina Luxury Suites – Fira

People enjoying cocktails in the infinity pool with a caldera view at Athina Luxury Suites in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
My favorite pool in Fira, though as the photo shows, it is not a perfect textbook infinity pool. Athina’s heated pool has the only swim-up bar in Santorini, with views over the volcano, caldera, and sunset. This is the best pool choice if you want the caldera but also want Fira’s restaurants, nightlife, shops, and transport within a few steps.

10. Andronis Arcadia – Oia

An infinity pool overlooking the sea at Andronis Arcadia in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Sunset View
One of the best resort pools in Oia, especially for families and travelers who want space. Andronis Arcadia has a large lagoon-style Grande Pool and a sunset-facing infinity pool. The views are over the Aegean, not the caldera, but they are beautiful and unobstructed. This is more resort luxury than classic cliffside Santorini.

11. Katikies Garden – Fira

Infinity pool lined with sunbeds and umbrellas overlooking the caldera at Katikies Garden in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View
Set in a former monastery, Katikies Garden has a rooftop pool with a bird’s-eye view over the caldera, church bell towers, and blue domes. It is not as dramatic as the cliff-edge pools in Imerovigli, but it is one of the best pool settings in Fira and works well for travelers who want a calmer luxury hotel close to the center.

12. Charisma Suites – Oia

Infinity pool over the sea with a view toward Thirassia Island and the switchback path down to Ammoudi Bay in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Sunset View
Charisma has two infinity pools with sweeping views over Ammoudi Bay toward the sunset. This is the view people crowd the Oia castle ruins to see, but here you get it from a pool terrace. It is technically more sunset-sea-view than caldera-view, but the setting is beautiful. Best for couples who care most about sunset.

13. Anastasis Apartments – Imerovigli

Infinity pool above the caldera facing Thirassia and the volcanoes at Anastasis Apartments in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View • Heated
A quiet, heated infinity pool north of Imerovigli with sublime caldera and sunset views. Anastasis is peaceful, personal, and less showy than the big luxury names. There is no full restaurant on site, but the hotel can arrange food and drink delivery from nearby kitchens. Great for couples who want calm more than scene.

14. Aenaon Villas – Imerovigli

Infinity pool with a caldera view toward Skaros Rock and the volcanoes at Aenaon Villas in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
One of the best secluded infinity pools in Santorini. Aenaon sits on a quiet stretch between Imerovigli and Oia, with wide-open views and very little surrounding development. There is no restaurant on site, but the hotel can arrange delivery. Best for couples who want peace, privacy, and a pool that feels far from the crowds.

15. Galaxy Suites – Imerovigli

Infninty pool with a view toward Oia village and the caldera at Galaxy Suites in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
Galaxy’s infinity pool has a stylish lounge feel, with cabanas, relaxed sunbeds, champagne service, and views toward the caldera and sunset. Le Moustache Restaurant serves Greek-Mediterranean dishes poolside during the day and evening. There is also a second, quieter pool higher up, though the main pool has the better view.

16. San Antonio – Imerovigli

Infinity pool at San Antonio hotel with caldera and sunset views in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
San Antonio is a romantic escape set in a quiet clifftop notch north of Imerovigli. Its infinity pool has serene caldera and sunset views with no other hotels pressing in around it. The Sun Lounge bar serves Mediterranean light meals and drinks by the pool. Best for couples who want seclusion.

17. Altana Heritage Suites & Villas – Imerovigli

Sunset at the infinity pool of Altana Heritage Suites with views over the caldera, volcanoes, and Akrotiri in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
Altana sits high in Imerovigli and its pool has one of the island’s best elevated caldera views. The pool is small, but the perspective is outstanding, with the volcano, Akrotiri, and the sweep of the caldera all in view. Best for travelers who want a traditional cave-hotel feel rather than glossy resort luxury.

18. Cosmopolitan Suites – Fira

Infinity pool in Fira, Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
A personal favorite in Fira. Cosmopolitan’s small infinity pool sits squarely above the volcano, with wide views over the caldera and sunset. It is a boutique hotel pool, not a large resort pool, but the setting is superb. Best for travelers who want Fira’s convenience with a more elegant, intimate hotel feel.

19. Santorini Secret Suites & Spa – Oia

Infinity pool with sunbeds all around it and a caldera view at Santorini Secret in Oia.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Heated
A beautiful heated infinity pool in Oia with strong caldera views angled toward the volcano. The pool bar serves snacks, light meals, wine, cocktails, and drinks through the day. Best for couples who want to be in Oia with easy access to the main pedestrian lanes.

20. Honeymoon Petra Villas – Imerovigli

An infinity pool and bar overlooking the caldera at Honeymoon Petra hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
One of my favorite hotel pools in Imerovigli. The pool has wide views over the caldera, volcanoes, and sunset, with a lively but still romantic atmosphere. Pezoulia pool bar and restaurant is open for drinks around the clock and serves meals and light bites from noon to late evening.

21. Santo Mine – Oia

Two infinity pools lined with sunbeds and umbrellas with views over the sea toward Thirassia Island at Santo Mine in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Sunset View
A west-facing Oia hotel with two side-by-side infinity pools and excellent sunset views over the Aegean Sea. This is not a caldera-view pool, but it is one of the best sunset pool settings near Oia. Best for travelers who want a resort feel and a sunset-facing pool deck.

22. Katikies Kirini Suites – Oia

Infinity pool and dining terrace above the caldera at Katikies Kirini hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View
A beautifully sculpted pool on a luxurious sun terrace near the entrance to Oia. The view looks over the caldera toward Thirassia and the village. It is a polished, romantic, high-service hotel, and a good alternative to central Oia if you want slightly more breathing room.

23. Astarte Suites – Akrotiri

Infinity pool facing the caldera with sunbeds on each side at Astarte hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
My favorite infinity pool in Akrotiri. Astarte’s pool is quiet, romantic, and set away from the crowds, with a different but beautiful angle on the caldera. It has a built-in jacuzzi and wide views across Santorini’s volcanic landscape. A car is useful if you stay here.

24. Coco-Mat Hotel – Akrotiri

A long infinity pool above the caldera with views toward sailboats, the volcanoes, and Oia village in the distance at Cocomat hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
Another Akrotiri stunner. Coco-Mat’s pool looks north across the caldera toward the volcanoes, Thirassia, and Oia in the distance. The setting is quiet and spread out, with no village crowding around the pool. Best for travelers who want views and peace rather than Oia or Fira buzz.

25. Canaves Sunday Suites – Oia

Infinity pool with caldera view and a statue of a donkey at Canaves Sunday Suites in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View
A small, sophisticated boutique hotel with a pretty infinity pool over the caldera. The pool is not large, but the hotel has only a handful of suites, so the terrace usually feels calm. A good choice if you want a quieter Canaves experience in Oia.

26. Perivolas – Oia

Kidney-shaped infinity pool overlooking the caldera and Thirassia Island at Perivolas Hotel in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Caldera View
A classic Oia pool with calm, understated beauty. Perivolas is one of Santorini’s original great boutique hotels, and the pool reflects that: simple, serene, and perfectly placed above the caldera. Service is warm but not intrusive. Best for travelers who prefer elegance over flash.

27. Tholos Resort – Imerovigli

Pool Highlights: Caldera View • Sunset View
A beautiful smaller pool with excellent views over Skaros Rock, the volcanoes, and the caldera. Tholos is not as luxurious as the top Imerovigli hotels, but the pool setting is strong and the atmosphere is relaxed. Good for travelers who want Imerovigli views at a somewhat more approachable price point.

28. Nous – Mesaria

An L-shaped infnity pool lined with sunbeds and palm trees at Nous Resort in Santorini.
Pool Highlights: Heated • Resort Pool
This is the only hotel on the list without a caldera or sunset view, but it belongs here because Nous has one of the best resort pools in Santorini. The pool is large, heated, beautifully designed, and much more usable for swimming than most tiny caldera pools. Stay here if you want a true resort pool, spa, space, and modern design, not the classic cliff-edge Santorini view.

Final Advice

If you want the best infinity pool views in Santorini, stay in Imerovigli. If you want the most famous village and classic luxury-hotel setting, stay in Oia. If you want a good pool plus restaurants, nightlife, and buses, choose Fira or Firostefani. If you want space, quiet, and a different view of the caldera, look at Akrotiri.

The best pool is not always the biggest pool, and the most photogenic pool is not always the most usable. For spring and fall, heated water matters. For a honeymoon, privacy matters. For a first trip, the caldera view matters most.
