Santo Maris Oia Luxury Suites & Spa
santorini, greece · ★★★★★
The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Santo Maris is Oia's largest proper luxury resort — 58 suites and private-pool villas set on the inland (non-caldera) side of Oia. You trade the sunset-cliff view for several things cliff-front hotels can't offer: a full-scale spa pavilion, multiple restaurants, three outdoor pools, real grounds to walk, and significantly better value. Rooms and villas are spacious, immaculately kept, and most mid-tier categories include a private plunge pool. For honeymooners who prioritize spa treatments, pool time, and gardens over the direct caldera drop — and who'd rather spend their savings on excursions, dinners, and wine — Santo Maris is the smart pick.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
Santo Maris Villa with Private Pool — a one-bedroom villa with private heated pool, sundeck, and garden. Spacious and more private than the suite categories. The Honeymoon Suite with outdoor jacuzzi is a more compact, budget-friendlier option.

Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
No direct caldera view from the hotel — you walk 10 minutes into Oia to see the sunset (which is what everyone does anyway).
The hotel is larger and more resort-like than most Santorini properties; if you want intimate boutique feel, look elsewhere.
Families do stay here, though couples dominate.
Some rooms are further from the main pool/spa — confirm location when booking.
