Guests can also dine privately on their suite's private terrace.

 If you can bear to leave your private terrace for sundowner o’clock, the Rhoe Wine Bar & More will be ready and willing to receive you with glasses of wine from the indigenous wine treasures of Santorini and Greece. Enjoy all-day bar choices, some graced by botanicals from the hotel’s herb garden.

Greece

Santo Mine is on the northernmost tip of Santorini, AKA sunset central. The town of Oia (of blue-dome fame) is a swift stroll away.

Planes

The island has an international airport that’s around a 20 minute drive away. Direct flights touch down from London during the summer. It’s also easy enough to land in Athens and travel onwards by ferry.

Automobiles

You’re in Santorini’s most sought-after spot, so you probably won’t be venturing very far. But if you have come by car, there’s a free private parking area nearby.

Other

The island’s main port is down a zig-zagged road in Fira, from where you can set sail to other Cycladic isles, such as Paros and Ios.

Worth getting out of bed for

For many incoming visitors to Santorini (including the coach-loads shipped into the north of the island at the end of every day), sunset is the premier activity on the agenda. Luckily for guests of several rooms at Santo Mine Oia Suites, you won’t have to vie for a spot amid the sunset-seeking throngs but can watch Helios’s chariot disappear from the supreme comfort of your private (often Jacuzzi- or pool-enhanced) terrace. Oia may now be crowded, but there’s a reason why everyone wants to see it (beyond the blue-dome-church photo opp) – the village has various whitewashed and colourful buildings stacked down the cliff face, with windmills and yes, photogenic places of worship, and handily is just a short stroll from the resort. Also within easy reach is Ammoudi Bay, from where you’ll be able to set sail on yacht trips around the coast. Archaeology fans should not miss the Bronze Age settlement at Akrotiri. Thanks to its volcanic soil, Santorini also creates some acclaimed wine (especially good is its assyrtiko) – vineyards to visit include Sigalas Domaine, Estate Argyros and Santo Wines. Nearby beaches of note should you tire of your terrace (unlikely) are Baxedes, Koloumbos and Armeni.

Local restaurants

Down the road in Ammoudi, the namesake taverna by the port is a perfect place to enjoy some super-fresh seafood. If you’ve ventured inland to the hilltop village of Pyrgos, stick around for supper at Metaxi Mas, which serves classic Cretan dishes.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this all-suite hotel in the Cyclades and unpacked their swimwear and sunset snaps, a full account of their island break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Santo Mine Oia Suites in Santorini…

No one really needs a reason to go to Santorini. The Greek island is one of the most-visited parts of the country and it isn’t hard to see why. But making it even more alluring next summer is the arrival of Santo Mine Oia Suites, at the northernmost tip of the island’s curving, croissant-shaped coastline. For the uninitiated, sunset central in Santorini is precisely these co-ordinates. What’s more, the coach loads may be disembarking onto the streets of Oia above the hotel, but here in this all-suite enclave you’ll have your own sunset-primed patch from which to watch the nightly spectacle. Even better (and somewhat surprisingly, given the construction Santorini has seen over the past few decades), no other properties are visible from Santo Mine. Over at sister hotel next door Santo Pure (accessible via a tunnel), wellness retreats are held regularly, some of which involve day trips over to Thirassia, a smaller island across the caldera that’s said to be like Santorini was in the Sixties. And on hand to help your day go even more smoothly are butlers, available on request for whim-catering of most descriptions.
