Grace Hotel Santorini, Auberge Resorts
About this hotel
Perched on the highest point of the Santorini caldera in Imerovigli, the Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts offers a masterclass in minimalist design. The property is defined by its clean, white-washed aesthetic, which serves to frame, rather than distract from, the stark volcanic landscape and the deep blue of the Aegean below. This is an environment of quiet sophistication, designed for those who prioritise privacy and unobstructed horizon views over the island’s more crowded hubs. The ambience is serene and unhurried. Days here are typically spent between the infinity pool—which appears to merge seamlessly with the sea—and private terraces, with the evening ritual centring on the caldera’s legendary sunsets. It is an ideal sanctuary for couples seeking an intimate escape or travellers wanting a refined base from which to experience the island’s unique geological backdrop. Whether staying in a well-appointed Superior Suite or the expansive Villa Grace, guests benefit from a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare in Santorini. Signature experiences focus on the landscape: terrace dining, long afternoons by the pool, and sunset cocktails at the 363 Bar or the Champagne Lounge, where the positioning ensures you are front-row for the island’s most dramatic light shows. The focus is understated luxury, grounded in the spectacular topography of Imerovigli.
Why we love it
Commanding Caldera Views
Positioned at the highest point of the caldera in Imerovigli, the hotel provides a sense of elevation and distance from the island's busier tourist centres. The result is a quiet, expansive perspective of the archipelago that remains unmatched, particularly during the golden hour when the sun dips below the horizon.
Understated Modern Design
The hotel’s architecture is intentionally minimalist, prioritising clean lines and a neutral palette. This approach ensures that the primary focus remains on the Aegean Sea and the dramatic volcanic cliffs, creating an environment that feels spacious, calm, and effortlessly aligned with its surroundings.
Signature Infinity Pool
The infinity pool is the hotel’s centrepiece, designed to create the illusion of flowing directly into the Aegean Sea. It serves as a peaceful vantage point for swimming or lounging, offering an uninterrupted connection to the caldera water and the endless blue horizon.
Intimate Suite and Villa Living
With a choice between the Superior Suite, the signature Grace Suite, or the private Villa Grace, all accommodation categories are thoughtfully designed to maximise space and light. Many options feature private terraces, allowing for personal, undisturbed enjoyment of the Santorini landscape.
Premier Sunset Perches
The 363 Bar and the Champagne Lounge are expertly positioned to capture the dramatic shift in light as day fades into evening. These spaces are widely considered among the finest locations on the island for a pre-dinner glass of wine or a cocktail, with the caldera serving as the natural backdrop.
Refined Aegean Dining
Dining at Varoulko Santorini offers guests a high-calibre culinary experience within the convenience of the hotel. By blending focused, high-quality cooking with the hotel’s dramatic sea-facing setting, it provides an atmospheric dinner option that complements the overall refined pace of a stay here.
