Perivolas Oia
santorini, greece · ★★★★★
The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Perivolas is the original Santorini icon — the most photographed infinity pool in the world is here, where the water appears to spill directly into the caldera 300 meters below. With just 20 cave suites and villas built from restored 300-year-old wine-cave dwellings, Perivolas is less a hotel than a private cliff-side hamlet. The design is pure Cycladic minimalism: raw white lime-washed walls, vaulted cave ceilings, hand-smoothed furnishings, no televisions to distract from the view. Adults-only, intensely private, and widely considered one of the most romantic hotels on earth. This is where you come if you want the best of Santorini with zero compromise.

Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Perivolas is very expensive, especially in peak summer — expect $1,500-$4,000 per night in July/August.
Many steps throughout the property; not ideal for guests with limited mobility.
Like all Oia hotels, there's no beach — plan a day trip to Perissa or Kamari if you want dark-sand swimming.
Book at least 6-9 months ahead for summer; the 20-suite capacity fills fast.
Some suites are set slightly back from the edge — pay for a front-row unit or it's not worth the price.
