Santorini probably features in many people?s travel bucket lists. The crisp white buildings clinging to cliffsides, the sparkling Aegean Sea, the incredible ancient architecture, and the attraction of delicious Greek meze makes it one of the hottest holiday destinations on the planet. The island is actually part of an archipelago, the remnants of a volcanic caldera. Santorini itself squeezes in over 800 hotels on this 12 by 7 km island so choice can be difficult, but here at The Luxury Editor we have found five of the best so you know you are staying in style?
Ikies Traditional Houses

Located in the picturesque village of Oia, this five-star resort is made up of individual dug-out cave houses all oozing minimalist elegance. Room décor really speaks for itself here where Scandinavian cool combines with classic Aegean white and blue. Calming tones of steel grey, brown and white are in abundance and beds are decked in natural fibre soft furnishings. The 11 suites date from pre-1956 and have outdoor spaces boasting lovely views of the bay. Some even benefit from private spa tubs for soaking up the sweeping panoramas. Breakfast is served on your terrace in an hour of your choosing before guests can make use of the fair sized communal plunge-pool on the lowest terrace. Whilst the hotel doesn?t have its own restaurant, it?s just a 15-minute walk to the centre of Oia where there are plenty of options and staff are happy to make recommendations.
