Hotels with beach in Santorini

The private pool imho is overated in general, when you have a beach and water line 10 meters from the door you dont really need it, in addition to 5 pools around the hotel

Staff were amazing on reception and concierge - special mention to Georgia (I think her name was) who help make our short stay very memorable with her sage advice on how to fill our time. Would stay again.

Only good feedback, one of the rare places, you feel must come back there. Beach is little challenging for swimming, but still great experience

Breakfast was great - Michelle (or Melissa) was a star; she brought my partner honey ginger and lemon every morning to help with her sore throat. We had a great sea and beach view from our room

We really liked the hotel and our sea view room. A wonderful complex with swimming pools, a great breakfast and friendly staff. We were very happy to stay here! I recommend it!

We were staying for a friends wedding (around 50 guests), and the hotel accommodated us all very well and it was spaced out and easy to meet up without feeling overcrowded

The rooms are lovely and clean, slightly small with 2 large suitcases in there but manageable for a week! Its a short minute walk to the beach and beach front bars / strip

Superb vacation Wonderful view upon awakening and walking out on to the balcony the view is fabulous The room fresh clean and spacious The staff so friendly and polite and welcoming The only small downside for me is the breakfast not a great deal i would eat and some of the choices of items for breakfast is a bit bizarre like cheese pie 😅 Anyways amazing hotel

Excellent customer service from all staff. Cleanliness outstanding. Deluxe room stunning. Breakfast selection comprehensive and high quality. Relentless canned music in breakfast and pool areas annoying.

The rooms were in need of some TLC and lacked some basic necessities you’d expect from a beachside hotel with pool facilities—such as a clothes dryer on the balcony

Great location with private steps right down on the beach. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was for the complimentary sunbeds on the beach. Unfortunately the staff does not hold these for the guests

Also there are signs not to reserve beds, but people do, and the staff does not remove towels even after 2 hours of no shows. Even if the beach is full and people are getting frustrated

Just got back from a fantastic 7 night stay at the Santo Miramare. Must say what a fantastic hotel this is. It’s situated right opposite the beach with sun beds and umbrellas available for hotel guests

When we arrived at the hotel we was greeted by the receptionist and concierge, our room was ready so once we check in our luggage was taken to our room, I had booked a standard double room and our room looked onto the pool area

Location of the hotel is great, walk out at the beach side and there is ample of restaurants, we are lunch mainly at taste of the beach just because lunch was beaut there but we ate evening meal at a different restaurant every night

The pool areas are lovely, no need to reserve a bed, don’t know if it was due to time of year but I was up around pool at 9ish and had pick of the beds

Room cleaned every day, fresh towels every day. The sun loungers are the best weve ever had. We had no problem getting a sunbed without the early morning panic

Wonderful hotel. Soundproof rooms. A delicious breakfast with plenty of variety. Free sunbeds on their beach. Spotlessly clean. Great staff.

Breakfast selection (something for everyone). Staff very helpful and friendly. Beach is right in front of the hotel across a promenade. Lots of shops/restaurants on your doorstep. Bus stop to Fira a 5 minute walk away

A wonderful experience at Aqua Blue! The service from everyone was top, and in particular, we would like to thank heartily Ms. Marilena who always helped us whenever we needed it. A wonderful place with fantastic people

We absolutely loved this hotel and cannot fault it. The room and the hotel generally was spotless and kept that way by an army of wonderful workers, big shout out to Ervis, who is an asset to the team

Marilena on Reception, who couldn’t have been more helpful and finally to Aris on the beach, who was an absolute delight and tended to us unfailingly! Throughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely be back! Thank you all

Towels were changed every day and the pool area is peaceful and nice. Water in the pool is little chilly. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was generous and varied

This is a nice hotel friendly staff, nice room, clean, right across from the beach

We stayed as part of a mother/daughter birthday trip, and my mom's favorite part was the private jacuzzi. Unfortunately, we only stayed 2 nights, so we didn't get to use the pool, but it looked fantastic

Vedema offers a luxury escape in the heart of the small Greek town of Megalochori with its 400 year old cave restaurant (Alati) and some of the best volcanic wines we tasted on the island

Upon arrival, we found out that the resort had upgraded us to a suite with private hot tub, which was a lovely surprise. The reception agent that checked us in gave us a property tour on the way to our room

Choosing this resort was the perfect way to end our first parents-only getaway. Megalochori’s quiet streets, local vibes, and wonderful people made our stay feel truly relaxing after the busy days in Oia

If you are looking for a 5-star property that is removed from the crowds and located in a much more authentic area than Fira and Oia, look no further. We arranged airport transfers through the hotel

Low level buildings with privacy for all. Limited choice of restaurants in October for alternative dining experiences. We hired a car which allowed us to explore the island which we would recommend

The hotel is very convenient and walkable to the black sand beach and many stores and dining options, love the location. Staff friendly and helpful... transportation thru hotel is very costly but dependable.

The staff at the property absolutely go above and beyond and truly make it feel like a home away from home. The rooms where super clean and love that staff was always willing to help

We absolutely loved our stay at the Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort in Kamari! The resort itself is stunning — beautifully designed, spotless, and only a 5-minute walk from the beach

A very beautiful place to stay in a very affordable village. The ONLY downside is the noise from the nearby airport, but it is a small price to pay for such an amazing hotel

Breakfast was awesome. Massage was equally epic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our concierge, Hara, was an absolute joy to work with. We would return in a heartbeat!

Hotel was amazing. Would definitely stay again and recommend. The breakfast buffet was beyond expectations. Pool and service throughout the hotel was amazing.

Thanks for the services and there is a public bus stop just right infront of the hotel and also very near the caldera beach

We stayed at Hotel Goulielmos for 10 days - which I thoroughly recommend so you can really see all of Santorini and enjoy what the country has to offer without rushing about, plus have time to relax

Hotel Goulielmos is honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. It’s tucked into the cliffs of Akrotiri, not crowded at all, and has that peaceful, away-from-it-all feeling

I enjoy the most with the volcanic view, the room services and the food! The room is a bit small but the balcony is quite big with volcanic view with a free rose wine

There are a couple of little mini markets just up the road, and you can walk to the village where you’ll find Theofanis Greek Experience – an amazing restaurant with incredible live music, dancing, and yes… plate smashing

The best hotel I’ve been to in a long long time. The rooms were clean and accessorised, we had a private balcony with a view to the sea and the volcano. The staff was so kind and thoughtful, always eager to help

It was an exhilarating place very near to the beach. Enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The staff are very friendly, cordial and helpful.

We went for my wife’s birthday/late anniversary. The hotel was outstanding, picturesque! The staff…amazing. Maria and her son Stefan were very accommodating & they had petals on the floor on arrival for us in our room

The hotel is spotless, the pool area to die for whilst the food and drink are affordable and of the highest quality. It’s right on the beach and for early birds to watch the sun come up is simply perfect

Special mention to Manos the waiter, he made many moments very special with his great humour & a highlight of our dinners. The beach is next to the hotel and we spent every morning here after breakfast

Great, will stay another time! Great stay, breakfast was included, beach near by, friendly and approachable staff, all speak english and very well organised

A 20 minute beach walk to the left as you face the sea brings you to a series of beachfront restaurants that are certainly a highlight of any stay here

This is such a unique hotel in Santorini. It’s beachfront, with free access to the stunning black sand beach, a must-see and a wonderful place to swim

The design is exceptional, and the interior decor with its decorative details is outstanding. The food is absolutely delicious, and we loved spending our days swimming in the pool or the sea while enjoying tasty snacks

Best experience I’ve had staying at a hotel, period. The staff was incredibly kind, generous, and very accommodating. After spending time in Oia and Fira, I would not stay anywhere else in Santorini except Istoria

The hotel is located on an authentic, less crowded side of Santorini, offering a more peaceful atmosphere but still with plenty of options nearby. The service was excellent as well

My wife and I shared three incredible days at the Istoria Hotel on Santorini in September 2025

There is a lot of hype about Oia and Fira but you can take a car/taxi to visit those places which we found to be very touristy and crowded

The common area with a very welcoming pool is also lovely. The staff is friendly and very attentive to detail

Its more basic than a lot of beach clubs that we have been to, but the prices reflect this. We chose this as it was open until late - but by 6pm the sun was off most of the cabanas and we were ready to move on

We had 2 beach/pool parties here at Jojo’s, we scouted out the venue last year on a visit to the island and we knew this was our favourite along Perivolos beach, it’s decorated beautifully and has a lovely pool in the middle

If you’d like chilled out beach vibes or you want a pre/post wedding party on Perivolos beach, this is your place

Definitely recommend 👌 you have two options by the beach or pool

I reserved the beds months ago in case it was busy and was given a price but on arrival they seemed to pluck a price out of thin air so we queried it and got the price reduced and an extra cabana although we were in a corner right next to very loud speaker The beach club looks nice but slow service lets it down And as for the toilets they were disgusting, none of us wanted to use them Maybe pay...

Pros: Incredibly quiet, private, and restful atmosphere Beautiful sea views from all rooms Exceptional hospitality from the owner and staff Small but charming pool for lounging Excursions, cruises, and rentals can be organized through the hotel Well-equipped rooms with soap, shampoo and shower gel

The true highlight, however, is the host, Vaggelis, and his warm, welcoming family. They go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Vaggelis has you covered

No on-site restaurant; El Greco delivery is convenient but may become repetitive The pool, while lovely, is small and has an unusual slope with no stairs—it's more for dipping than swimming laps Final Thoughts: Agia Irini is not for those seeking a resort experience with all the bells and whistles, but for travelers looking for authentic hospitality, peace, and a truly local Santorini experience, it...

Perched on a cliffside in the quiet, local neighborhood of Imerovigli, Agia Irini offers sweeping views of the Aegean Sea and a sense of serenity that is hard to come by

With only eight rooms, this small and casual place offers great privacy and comfort. Each room is well-equipped and features a view that will take your breath away

Janis, Aphrodite and Stephanous were so great and spoiled us at the beach. We were there for a wonderful wedding in Greece and between events it was so relaxing being at Hotel Sunshine. Looking forward to coming back

We LOVED that we were right on the beach, walking out of the hotel to lounge in the sun was exactly what we wanted in our trip. Very relaxing with tons of shops and food options near by.

Very welcoming staff, great location on Kamari beach front, breakfast is buffet style and eaten on the outdoor terrace by the beach, comfy beds, good WiFi, would definitely return

The location was amazing, the beach chairs were comfy, and the people there made our stay. Gianis, Stephanos, and Aphrodite made us feel like family. Excellent service from everyone ❤️. Great place to stay.

Very well located, in front of the beach. It is not far from the airport. They helped us with any request. I would have liked the TV to have access to the internet or Netflix

My husband and I had the best experience at Sunshine. The staff, breakfast, drink and beach area was absolutely phenomenal! We will be back!

Great Great hotel. Clean, nice atmosphere, best service just across the street from the beach..

She greeted me warmly at the entrance, immediately making me feel welcome, and kindly helped me choose the perfect sun bed. Throughout my visit, she was always nearby, ready to take my order with a smile

Beautiful location, super clean! The staff was very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure you had a great stay.

The combination of the restaurant’s beautiful setting and Rafaela’s attentive, friendly service truly made my day unforgettable

Her excellent English made communication effortless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable

Nicos (host ) and staff could'nt do enough. We would definitely stay here again. The view and the breakfast was just perfect. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable

The staff, especially Alex and Giorgios, went above and beyond for us — always friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. They truly made us feel at home while on vacation

Rooms are beautiful, all the area is super clean, the breakfast has everything from sweet to sour. The position is wonderful, just one step away from the beach and the sea is priceless

Highly recommend! Many thanks to management and staff for the hospitality! We will be happy to return at Arion Bay at our next holiday in Santorini!

The pool is wonderful too, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, just like at the beach. Breakfast is well taken care of and always filling — you won’t leave hungry

We have had very nice holidays in Arion Bay. The Romanian Tourism agency which booked the rooms made an error and I have had to sleep, for a night, in another hotel

The rooms are not big, but they have everything you need for a sunny holiday. Everything is well maintained and cleaned daily

Great location, nearby to public parking and right at the beach. Amazing staff and the breakfast spread was also good. The rooms and washroom were a bit small, but okay for a short stay

Unfortunately I had to move room due to mobility issue & unable to climb stairs daily and near impossible to keep climbing in and out of the roof terrace with such a beautiful beautiful view without hitting my head! I was given a choice of available rooms with no extra charge! The staff were very helpful & even made it special for me by moving the balloons and all my luggage! The Hotel is literally...

Such a nice beach hotel I say maybe a 3 Star, Staff where so friendly and helpful both staff on reception,and Zikos and Kostas. Shower was very small and never hot water even though staff said it was checked

Beautiful hotel at the great location! Everything from breakfast to beach lounges were perfect! Amazing welcoming staff and the owner who made us feel like home! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely quiet hotel that is clean and well maintained. It’s a great location and a beach front hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful

Thank you so much for having us. Staying at Alesahne was absolutely amazing. The sweetest people working there, delecius breakfast, a georgeus hotel, with the best view, we have ever seen

Very clean and great service rooms are big and great space! Breakfast is great! Lovely and quiet place! Many different dinning options, beach has black sand but is amazing clear! Seaview hotel was awesome we will stay here again!

The hotel is kept very clean and the rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh sheets and towels!! Every morning there is fresh breakfast with fruit, cereal, eggs, tuna, feta cheese, bread and all sorts of great food

The beach accessed from the front of the hotel is stunning, padded lounges and waiter service. Sand is like lava so be aware. So many restaurants and bars either side of the hotel and only a short walk

Hotel located directly on the beach, small, clean and friendly. Hotel rooms could do with a slight uplift but offer plenty of room. Plenty of choice at breakfast and great views while eating

The pool is small but given the size of the hotel it never feels busy. Big shout out to George who serves on the beach, always has a smile on his face and is very polite

I do not know everyone's name so please forgive me for not mentioning you by name. Spiro, whom is her assistant is the most friendliest, sweetest man I have ever met. Ana, the receptionist is also very helpful

We were very excited to see they had 24 hour reception even during low season. It was nice to have a place to stay after our 4AM ferry. Staff was all very friendly and accommodating. The room was cute and clean.

We stayed here in July and had an amazing experience. The staff went above and beyond to give us information about the island and the town, and also made us welcome to come to the lobby at anytime for a drink and a chat

You can't drink the water in Santorini from the tap nor use it to boil to drink as it is salty. Hotel provides only 1 bottle of 1 litre drinking water so you have to buy more on your own

The room was ideal and the location of the hotel is perfect. The man who brought us to the port spoke to staff there to make sure he dropped us off at the correct spot for our ferry

It is near the bus station but as it is winter, the frequency is limited. Room is clean, beautiful and spacious with an outdoor patio

Coffee and tea are provided all day but they do not offer breakfast. Overall a comfortable stay in Hotel Antonia Santorini

Also, the Buddha Bar (within which the reception is located) is really really expensive in comparison to the other places around (they charged us 13€ for a bottled local beer)! Other than that, amazing spot, much better than Oía from our point of view

One can get the best view of the sunset from the hotel balcony. The food served at the Buddha Bar is sumptuous. Costa and all the entire team of the hotel are very warm welcoming. The hospitality is impeccable

The view alone is worth everything! Definitely book one of the 5 rooms with the view. Do yourself a favor and skip the complimentary breakfast and walk down to Confetti next door for breakfast

If I was to say something that this accommodation could improve, it would be the breakfast selection, as well as having a kettle in the room for those that don’t drink coffee (me!)

However, it’s actually an amazing view throughout the day really! We had the honeymoon suite, which had its own terrace with a hot tub from which we had views out to the caldera

Not the best Buddha bar in the world.. but it was good I ordered virgin lady Chicken Katsu with carry Service was good and staff was helpful

We enjoyed our wonderful stay at this lovely Hotel with superb rooms, very good breakfast and Friendly Staff right at the beach. We highly recommend It. Would love to go back there one day.

Yiannis and his team made us super welcome. Perfect stay in the most perfect spot. The hotel is well placed for a short walk into Kamari and could not be closer to the beach

Nice beach, though little rocky (got to be careful not to slip)

This place is right on the water with a black sand beach, and service that is both friendly and above and beyond what we expected

Very nice resort. It was a nice distance from the Kamari beach strip. The hotel did not take the credit card until the end of my stay which I thought was odd. The staff were very friendly. Place was clean.

Hotel is located next to the airport and planes fly directly over - however we got used to it and even little bit liked it (quite cool sight, must be dream destination for plane spotters!)

We had the pleasure of staying at the Kati Hotel in Santorini. Argyris, Tania, and Yiannis were incredibly helpful, and we appreciate all their assistance. A big thank you to Testso for carrying all our bags

Because we were going to miss breakfast due to hiking Fira to Oia, they even made us sandwiches to take on the hike. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you to the team at Keti for a wonderful stay!

The hotel was clean and very close to all the restaurants and shops. The main bus stop and taxi area all all within a 5 min walk. We loved our stay and sure to be back sometime in the future

A truly great hotel with views to match. The staff were extremely helpful, weather is was at breakfast or asking for directions or helping with our luggage they were always very helpful

The windows are double glazed so it is very quiet in the room. Fridge is a good size so you can buy drinks at the mini mart and stock up. Thoroughly recommend this hotel in Santorini

Amazing hotel! Location, pool, ambience, and the service from Gianni and his staff was excellent. It’s a small boutique hotel and very quiet but in a great location
