Andronis Concept Wellness Resort

An extraordinary-looking hotel, Andronis offers something very different to the usual white-washed Aegean buildings that characterise Santorini.

The main hotel building is a taupe, smooth-sided ‘hillock’ that blends perfectly with its surroundings. Luxury suites step down the hillside; most are designed as maisonettes, with sunset-facing balconies and infinity pools.

Its location – on the edge of Imerovigli – gives it a double perspective; public spaces, such as the pools, reception and the gardens face towards the gently sloping eastern countryside, while the suites face west towards the caldera.

This is one of the island’s ultimate fly-and-flops; the spa has a reputation as one of Santorini’s best, and the multi-awarded Throubi restaurant offers Michelin-quality food, with a super-indulgent tasting menu.
