From Swarovski crystals above the in-suite hot tubs to multiple chartering services, this 11-suite boutique luxury hotel was designed to appeal to a high-level clientele. Ideal for honeymooners or guests looking for a romantic getaway, Astarte Suites makes a supreme effort to provide guests with discretion and privacy. The property offers upscale contemporary decor -- it's much more luxurious than the nearby Apanemo Hotel -- and all of the chic suites are designed after a different ancient Mediterranean culture. Those wishing to take advantage of Astarte's location in Santorini's quiet southern area may find it inconvenient when trying to reach many of the island's popular tourist attractions, however.

The Ambassador Aegean Luxury Hotel & Suites is one of the most luxurious, spacious, and private options in Santorini, though the trade off for space is made via a 45-minute drive to the tourist-friendly village of Oia. Each of the 40 luxe rooms has a private pool and furnished outdoor area, along with a gorgeous view of the Caldera and Aegean Sea. Free made-to-order breakfasts are delivered to rooms each morning and international fine dining is on offer at the artfully designed Cabo Rosso restaurant. The communal infinity pool is serviced by a bar, and the cave-style spa has one of the only thermal circuits on the island. Kids are allowed with prior approval, but all the steep steps and chic atmosphere make the Ambassador Aegean a better choice for couples. For those who want to be in the heart of Oia, Andronis Luxury Suites is a comparable (but smaller) luxury choice.

Kokkinos Villas is a pleasant budget option overlooking Caldera Beach in the relatively quiet village of Akrotiri. The 21 rooms are divided into spotlessly clean apartments with kitchenettes and traditional hotel rooms. All units have some sort of outdoor space and Caldera view. A free breakfast of mostly cold items is served in an indoor/outdoor breakfast room. There's little to do on-site, apart from an outdoor pool with a seasonal bar. Caldera Beach, a local beach with just one restaurant and a scuba operation, is just below the hotel. It's a lovely spot for a swim, but the steep walk might be too much for some. For something with better beach access and a full restaurant, check out the Sea Side Beach Hotel in Kamari.

The Hotel Mathios Village is a family-run complex situated in the less-touristy southern end of Santorini island. Its location means easy access to the archeological site of Akrotiri and a short walk to the coast with views over the caldera. Its 30 simply styled rooms have furnished terraces and balconies, though some cheaper rooms are small and prone to noise. Home-style cooking, friendly staff, and peaceful pool terrace make this hotel a decent mid-range option -- though families with kids might struggle to keep them entertained.

Maison Des Lys is an excellent upscale pick for families and couples who require space, privacy, and easy access to Red Beach over proximity to Fira and Oia. The 21 suites range from limited views and slightly dated decor to including amenities like lofts, whirlpools, plunge pools, and epic Aegean Sea views. A made-to-order breakfast is delivered to rooms in the morning, and drinks and light fare are available from the pool bar throughout the day. The communal pool (one of the largest in Santorini) is a show stopper and there are uninterrupted views across the Caldera. Parking (a rarity) and Wi-Fi are both free. For those who want to be closer to the tourist action in Fira, check rates at Astro Palace Hotel and Suites, but expect an uphill walk and no Caldera views.

Apanemo is one of the best hotels in Santorini -- and it has some of the cheapest rates for amenities and freebies offered. Highlights at the mid-range hotel include a delicious free breakfast buffet, authentic restaurant, tiered infinity-edge pool, on-demand local shuttle, and sunset Caldera views from the public spaces and most of the rooms. The 27 rooms are spotless, spacious, and have large bathrooms with powerful showers. Truly, the only downside to this hotel is that you'll likely need a car or an ATV to explore, as there's little within immediate walking distance. It's about an eight-minute drive to Red Beach and the Akrotiri Archeological Site. Travelers who want to be on the northern side of the island in the heart of Oia (and don't mind steep steps or fewer features) should check rates at Aris Caves.

Das Ambassador Aegean Luxury Hotel & Suites ist eine der luxuriösesten, geräumigsten und privatsten in Santorini, obwohl die Abstriche für den Platz in einer 45-minütigen Fahrt zum touristischen Dorf Oia gemacht werden. Jedes der 40 luxuriösen Zimmer verfügt über einen privaten Pool und einen möblierten Außenbereich sowie einen herrlichen Blick auf die Caldera und die Ägäis. Ein kostenloses, auf Bestellung zubereitetes Frühstück wird jeden Morgen an die Zimmer geliefert. Im kunstvoll gestalteten Restaurant Cabo Rosso genießen Sie internationale gehobene Küche. Der Gemeinschafts-Infinity-Pool wird von einer Bar versorgt. Das Höhlen-Spa verfügt über eine der einzigen Thermalquellen auf der Insel. Kinder sind mit vorheriger Genehmigung erlaubt, aber alle steilen Schritte und die schicke Atmosphäre machen die Ambassador Aegean eine bessere Wahl für Paare. Für diejenigen, die im Herzen von Oia sein wollen, ist Andronis Luxury Suites eine vergleichbare (aber kleinere) Luxus-Wahl.
