New luxury resort carved into the mountains above Kamari — spacious villas, private pools, and a calm alternative to Oia.
Why We Chose It
Opened in 2024, Sandblu is a modern luxury resort set into the Mesa Vouno mountains on Santorini’s quieter southeastern coast. Designed as a self-contained village, it offers 50+ rooms and villas — many with private pools — alongside multiple restaurants, a spa, wine bar, and curated experiences. The aesthetic is clean and elevated, with white stone architecture blending into the landscape. Its location near Kamari provides easier access and fewer crowds, making it one of the island’s most compelling alternatives to caldera stays.
What Stands Out
- Brand-new luxury resort (opened 2024)
- Villas and suites with private pools
- Two restaurants + wine bar + spa
- Quiet southeast coast (less crowded than Oia)
- Self-contained resort with full amenities
- 10 minutes from Santorini airport
