Katikies Chromata Santorini – The Leading Hotels of the World
Total number of rooms: 25 | Prices start from US$
The name Chromata means “colours” in Greek. The irony runs deep. Because this hotel — every wall, every floor, every ceiling — is almost entirely white. And yet somehow, it contains the most vivid place to stay. Sunsets in Santorini are famous and watching them from your own caldera-facing terrace changes everything. Something you can do at Katikies Chromata Santorini.
Each suite opens to a private veranda, so you always have a front-row seat to the volcano and the Aegean Sea. You wake up to light. Then, you end your day in gold and pink skies. Organic curved ceilings and cave-carved bathrooms, all arches, alcoves, and walk-in showers sculpted to look hewn from boulders, define the Cycladic character. Suites with outdoor jacuzzis and private pools sit at the upper end of the category ladder, and they book earliest. Request one of these specifically if you want a perfect stay.
The hotel is now home to the legendary Koukoumavlos restaurant, which has shaped fine dining in Santorini for years. Now, with Michelin-level expertise behind it, dining becomes a central part of the stay. Add sunset cocktails at the Aperitivo Bar, and your evenings quickly become a ritual.
