The hype
Guests are obsessed with the staff's 'can-do' attitude and the jaw-dropping caldera views from the beds.
Cavo Tagoo Santorini
$700-1300+/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the Mykonos party aesthetic but with Santorini's caldera views and a slightly more chilled-out (but still scene-y) vibe.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Every single suite has a private hot tub or pool
- The infinity pool sunset sessions with a live DJ are legendary
- Roka (by Zuma) brings world-class Japanese robatayaki dining to the cliffside
Kurzfassung: It’s an Instagram trap in the best way possible—stunning, expensive, and designed to be seen, so don't expect total seclusion.
Bewertet von @martadtravels: I finally checked off my bucket list stay at Cavo Tagoo! Lounging on those floating sunbeds while watching the sunset over the caldera was surreal. The vibe is super chic, and having breakfast with that endless Aegean view was the perfect start to every morning.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The pool menu is shockingly expensive (think $30+ cocktails) and the ground floor suites feel exposed to the walkway.
- You care about 'the scene' and want to wear heels to dinner
- You want a private pool without sacrificing the hotel atmosphere
- You love Asian-fusion dining over traditional Greek tavernas

Beste Auswahl

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the main pool heated?
Yes, the main infinity pool is heated, which is a rare luxury in Santorini and great for shoulder season.
Can kids stay here?
Yes, children are allowed, but the vibe is heavily adult/couple-focused. There are no kids' clubs or specific activities.
Is breakfast floating?
It's not a standard 'floating breakfast' service by default, but you can request your tray to be brought to your private pool and float it yourself for the photo.
How far is the walk to Oia?
It's a hike, not a walk. The trail starts right near the hotel but takes about 2 hours to get to Oia. Wear sneakers.
Is the restaurant Roka or Vezené?
As of the 2025/2026 season, the main dining partner is Roka (by Zuma), offering high-end Japanese robatayaki. Vezené was the previous partner.
Do I need a car?

Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Book a 'Pool Day Pass' if you aren't staying here but want the vibe—it's cheaper than a room but gets you the view.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes north to 'Skaros Rock' for the best sunset view on the island without the crowds.
- ✨
The 'Cave Pool' suites are darker inside; if you like natural light, ask for a non-cave structure.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'sunset view' from some lower rooms is partially blocked by the Skaros Rock headland.
💡You can hear your upstairs neighbors flushing the toilet.
💡The wind in Imerovigli can be fierce—your private pool might be too windy to use on some days.
💡Room service prices are eye-watering (think €30 for a club sandwich).
💡The 'floating sunbeds' in the main pool are first-come, first-served and people hog them for hours.
