Perivolas Hotel Oia Santorini - Paradise Hewn On History

May 24, 2013 by UNIQ Hotels

Location:

Oia Greece East Europe
BeachIslandLuxury

This hotel is located on a secluded clifftop that overlooks the Greek island of Santorini. The island is part of a circular archipelago formed from volcanic rock following an ancient eruption that is fabled to have destroyed the city of Atlantis.

Today, the island's edge is around the crest of a mile-deep hole in the ocean floor, where you can find premier diving spots.

Perivolas is a romantic resort full of terraced gardens and a large infinity pool that melts into the sunset.

Your accommodation is designed in the style of the whitewashed heat-reflecting walls of the local villages. Don’t expect Netflix – this is a place to switch off.

The islands have been inhabited for thousands of years, and you can explore this vast repository of culture and history during your stay.

The local villages are a medley of family vineyards and traditional taverns where you can sample the famous Mediterranean lifestyle.

The nearby beach offers swimming, where you can glide through clear, calm waters.

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort - A Bamboo Sanctuary In The Tabanan Jungle

Between Fribourg's medieval rooftops and a park full of century-old beeches, a renovated 17th-century manor is doing something quietly remarkable. Auberge aux 4 Vents is not a boutique hotel in the algorithmic sense - all reclaimed wood and oat milk. It is something older and stranger: a patrician country manor …
