Kivotos Santorini
Imerovigli, Santorini, Greece

Perched high on the cliffside in Imerovigli, the most exclusive location on the caldera, Kivotos merges sweeping views with peace and tranquillity.
Bucking tradition, this retreat stands out from the island's typical white architecture with its distinctive all-black design - a daring and unconventional statement influenced by Santorini's volcanic landscape, showcasing Kivotos' unparalleled brand of hospitality.

Complemented by private pools and hot tubs, top-tier amenities, and personalised service, Kivotos offers a enchanting setting where you can both lose and discover yourself in equal measure.
