Dreams Luxury Suites, Santorini

Located on one of the highest points on the cliffs surrounding the Santorinian caldera, with truly spectacular views, and made up of only four apartments and two villas, Dreams Luxury Suites are as exclusive as they get.

Dreams Luxury Suites has no restaurant, lobby, bar, or main pool, which allows the staff to dedicate themselves to serving the guests in their apartments. It’s a set up that renders itself well to a very personal and friendly approach.

Romance in an exclusive package

The white walls of Dreams Luxury Suites curve and bend around corners and ceilings, giving the interiors an appearance of natural cave formations, and resembles a traditional Santorini housing.

Each apartment has been infused with its own personality. Orfeas is dominated by yellow accent color, the Nefeli by blue, and Armonia’s charming wooden shutters are green. Foivos has two bedrooms and bathrooms and the largest swimming pool—ideal for groups of friends or families with older children.

The view from all suites is simply one of a kind, but there is plenty of little details as well that can make the stay extra special — such as rose petals strewn on the bed, fresh-cut flowers, champagne breakfasts, candles lit on the terrace at night, a bottle of local wine and fruit basket on arrival. Dreams Luxury Suites provides a lot of opportunities for romantic moments.

Food

The exceptionally rich, delicious breakfasts are served to the room, or on a private terrace outside, overlooking the caldera. A wide selection of Greek delicacies, eggs, coffee, freshly squeezed juice is accompanied either by champagne or the delicious—our favorite—Santorinian Vinsanto (local wine).

Light lunches are also served to the room, but there are many restaurants close to the hotel, thanks to its convenient location on the outskirts of the beautifully situated village of Imerovigli. Fira, the bustling capital of the island, is a twenty-minute stroll away.

in our opinion

Dreams Luxury Suites are small and romantic, elegant and exclusive. The six suites offer intimacy, privacy, and tranquillity. It’s an ideal place for a romantic getaway or honeymoon.

What we love

• Great location and fantastic views of the caldera. Unlike many hotels overlooking the Caldera, Dreams is located away from noise and crowds, but close enough to the restaurants in Imerovigli
• Only six suites of the hotel make Dreams an incredibly exclusive place—and give a real sense of privacy
• We especially recommend the two-level Armonia suite
• The hotel also offers Opera Mansion Dream Villa, a separate property located in Fira.
• There aren’t many stairs, which is rare in a cliff-side hotel on Santorini
• Discreet and friendly staff, who never fail to give the best sightseeing tips or recommend a restaurant
• Magical atmosphere, especially at sunset

What you should know

• As one might expect, the quality goes hand in hand with price. The prices are steep in the peak season, but then the view itself is worth it
• Apartment Nefeli has a large Jacuzzi instead of a plunge pool, and due to the location (next to the sidewalk), this room is the least private, but also the cheapest
• Other suites have private pools, they are too small to swim. They are great for cooling in hot weather though
• Families with young children are not allowed to stay at Dreams—due to the risky location of the hotel high on a cliff
• Dreams Luxury Suites is a seasonal property that is open from mid-March through November
• Getting there: The flight-comparison sites such as Skyscanner (www.skyscanner.com) or Kayak (www.kayak.com) will help you find the best flights and deals.
