Kapari Natural Resort

Santorini, Greece

Kapari Natural Resort in Santorini’s Imerovigli village is a smooth wedding cake of a hotel, with all the caldera cool you’d expect: cavernous rooms, neutral hues and a whole lot of white and blue.

Food and drink at Kapari Natural Resort

• Hotel restaurant The restaurant serves amazingly fresh Mediterranean fare, out overlooking the Aegean or inside in the oatmeal-and-white dining room. Menu highlights include squid stuffed with fennel, grilled peppers and smoked cheese, lobster and salmon ravioli with an ouzo-tinged white sauce and shrimps, and the simple-sounding but delicious Santorini cheese pie. Breakfast is served here, too: expect a bounty of bread and pastries baked on site, fresh fruit and thick Greek yoghurt.
  
• Dress code Cool, casual and crisp linens and cottons: think Wimbledon on sea.
• Top table Chances are you won’t want to miss the views out on the terrace, but cool down on one of the banquettes, beneath the hammered-metal-dome lighting.
• Last orders Breakfast times can be flexible but are roughly 8.30am–11.30am; there’s no set service for lunch, just a light snack menu that runs all day; dinner is on offer from 7pm until midnight.
• Room service Food can be ordered 24 hours a day: hot meals up until midnight, snacks, salads and sandwiches afterwards.
• Hotel bar The bar shares the same cave as the restaurant, mixing mojitos until the last guest wants one, as long as it’s before 1.30am.
