Villa Caldera

'Perched dramatically on Santorini's iconic caldera rim, this clifftop sanctuary offers front-row seats to the world's most spectacular sunsets while embracing the island's volcanic mystique.' What's Special? Villa Caldera sits on one of the most geologically fascinating locations in the Mediterranean - directly above the active Santorini volcano that last erupted in 1950. The hotel's infinity pools appear to blend seamlessly with the Aegean Sea 1,000 feet below, while the traditional Cycladic architecture features cave-style suites carved into the volcanic cliff face, naturally maintaining cool temperatures year-round. Don't Miss The nightly sunset ritual from the hotel's clifftop terrace, where guests gather to watch the sun disappear behind the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. Take the hotel's private boat to explore the volcanic hot springs, and don't leave without experiencing a traditional Greek cooking class using ingredients grown in the island's distinctive volcanic soil.
