Where to stay 

Santorini is blessed with so many beautiful accommodation options that you will have no problem finding somewhere to stay. If it’s romance you’re after, impress your other half with one of the most romantic luxury villas in Santorini for couples. Choose a luxurious Greek suite, built in the traditional style in the face of the cliffs. This unique architectural style means you’ll be kept cool during the warm summer months. 

 

 

Or if you’re going in a group, take a look at the large luxury villas in Santorini  like this one which will be suitable for bigger groups. 

 

 

Many of the luxury villas in Santorini on All Luxury Apartments come with their own private swimming pools, so you can guarantee absolute privacy and literally roll out of bed and into the swimming pool. 

 

 

You can’t go far wrong with most of the luxury villas in Santorini. The whole island is surrounded by beautiful scenery and breathtaking beaches, so you’ll never be far from some gorgeous scenery. 

 

What to see

Santorini is Insta-famous thanks to its stunning scenery, making it one of the most Instagrammed destinations in the world. So no holiday here would be complete without taking in some of the views for yourself. The sunsets are known to be some of the best in the world so head to the hilltops for a jaw-dropping nightly show that you and the one you love can enjoy. 

 

What to do 

Apart from gazing lovingly in each others eyes and staring at the sunset, there are plenty of other things to do in Santorini. The obvious one is to visit one of the best beaches in Santorini. The island doesn’t have white sand beaches, but it is blessed with some stunning coves and swimming spots. Head to Red Sand Beach for an otherworldly Mars-like vista or try the more popular Kamari which is a favourite for families with young children thanks to its shallow waters and sun beds. Similarly, Agios Georgios is set up for tourists and has everything you need for your holiday in Santorini. From umbrellas and sun beds to water sports and restaurants, you’ll never be bored at this popular beach. It’s also only 3km from Perissa Beach so you could even cover them both in one day. 

 

 

If you want to explore other islands during your stay in Santorini, you’re only a ferry ride away from Mykonos. Another popular destination for couples and groups of friends, you’ll love exploring the beaches of Mykonos which are more sandy, and more set up for partying. 

 

 

A holiday in Santorini is the perfect present for anyone. The beautiful island has something for all types of traveller’s and is sure to be a Christmas gift they’ll never forget. If you would prefer to go somewhere more exotic, read our All Luxury guide to St Bart’s or our All Luxury Guide to Bali.
