The hype
Stunning pool and food, but the rooms feel like fishbowls and the service is inconsistent for the price tag.
Nobu Hotel Santorini
$700-1200/ noc
Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want the Nobu brand flex and don't mind sacrificing privacy for a sunset view—assuming it's actually open.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Iconic dual-level infinity pool with caldera views
- Nobu restaurant's signature Black Cod Miso and sunset DJ sets
- Direct access to the famous Oia-Fira hiking trail
Szybki przegląd: A masterclass in branding that struggles with privacy, maintenance, and currently, a concerning operational silence.
Przejrzane przez @wherejesstravels: I stayed here for a romantic getaway and it blew my mind. The main pool area is gorgeous, but having a private tub on our terrace was the real game-changer. It’s pricey, but for the privacy and those insane caldera views, I’d book it again in a heartbeat.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the hotel actually open?
Status is critical to verify. As of late 2025, reports suggest indefinite closure or 'radio silence' due to structural/maintenance issues. Call before booking.
Is there parking?
No on-site parking. You must park off-site (likely street parking) and walk.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the main infinity pool is heated, but it can still feel chilly in windy shoulder seasons.
Can I walk to Fira or Oia?
Yes, you are directly on the trail. Fira is ~30 mins walk south, Oia is ~2 hours hike north.
Is it adults only?
Technically yes, usually 14+ or 18+ depending on the season's policy.
Do rooms have coffee machines?
Yes, Nespresso machines are standard in the suites.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
The 'Hydration Station' on the trail sells Nobu-branded water to hikers—avoid this tourist trap.
- ✨
Don't book the 'Nobu for the Day' package if you are a guest; the pool gets crowded with outside visitors.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes south to 'Anogi' for incredible, affordable Greek food instead of eating every meal at Nobu.
