Step inside the island’s hidden gem of award-winning hospitality at Kivotos Santorini 

London, UK: Santorini, one of the most beloved holiday destinations in the world, never goes out of style. Yet, only the most discerning travellers venture beyond its white-washed buildings and blue-domed rooftops to find their way to Kivotos Santorini, an intimate boutique hideaway known for rewriting the rules of luxury with its personalised warm Greek hospitality. ​ 

A spoiling family-owned retreat with distinctive architecture and design notes, the hotel is the Greece of dreams and was recently named by the World Luxury Awards as the “World’s Best Luxury Design Boutique Hotel”. For its new tasting menu, its signature restaurant MAVRO was recognised by the awards as the “Best Degustation/Tasting Menu in Southern Europe”. Ready to welcome guests with open arms in April 2024, here is all that awaits at this secluded slice of paradise! 

Unparalleled Design 

Nestled above the Aegean Sea on Santorini’s caldera, Kivotos Santorini challenges convention with its captivating cavernous design. Strikingly modern and minimalist, the hotel’s unconventional, all-black architecture defies Santorini’s all-white vernacular and pays homage to the island's volcanic landscape. Hand-crafted and meticulously designed, its cavernous interior is characterized by clean lines and a muted colour palette, creating an oasis of calm featuring sleek custom-made furnishings and natural materials. Paired with ambient lighting across the property, the result is a celebration of simplicity and serenity where there is no limit to one’s imagination or possibility. Recently recognised by the World Luxury Hotel Awards as the “Best Luxury Design Boutique Hotel” in the world, Kivotos Santorini is more than a destination, it is a place where memories are made, and dreams come to life. ​ 

Sensational Views in a Secluded Sanctuary  

Conveniently situated along the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Kivotos Santorini embodies chic coastal elegance across its 10 intimate suite and villa options, each with varying luxury amenities from indoor pools, hot tubs and hammams. With a location that provides panoramic sea views amidst a private, secluded atmosphere, this idyllic escape is where you can truly unwind and bask in the lap of luxury. The hotel seamlessly blends traditional Greek charm with contemporary design, offering guests an experience that is both authentic and indulgent where you'll enjoy an uninterrupted front-row seat to Santorini’s world-famous sunset. It’s not just the stand-out sun-soaked backdrop that sets Kivotos Santorini apart, it’s the hotel’s distinct promise of privacy that is part of the innate appeal. For this reason, it’s no surprise that the Kivotos brand has welcomed the likes of popular A-listers such as Hayley Atwell, Shakira, Heidi Klum, John Legend, and Calvin Klein among others. Reserved for those with a most refined and impeccable taste, Kivotos Santorini invites guests to experience its renowned hospitality savoured by global A-listers. 

Exquisite All-Sensory Dining 

Kivotos Santorini presents an all-new gastronomy experience at its renowned signature restaurant MAVRO. Under the creative direction of acclaimed Chef Dimitris Katrivesis, guests embark on a heavenly adventure with three locally sourced and globally inspired tasting menus inspired by the moon’s phases and the hotel’s all-black design. The new all-sensory immersive dining experience was awarded 2023’s “Best Degustation/Tasting Menu in Southern Europe” by the World Luxury Restaurant Awards. 

Drawing from the concept of “Tradinovation”, a culinary nexus where tradition meets innovation, Chef Katrivesis skilfully combines local ingredients, traditional recipes, ancient cooking techniques, modern flavour profiles and his global culinary experiences. The result is a symphony of carefully crafted sharing plates boldly celebrating the culinary heritage of the Cyclades. ​
