Sandblu, a new luxury resort in Santorini overlooking the seaside village of Kamari from the foothills of Greece’s ancient Thira mountain, is opening for its first full season as of April 17, 2025. With 66 rooms, suites and villas, six dining concepts, the indulgent Aurora spa, high-end retail, sophisticated amenities and a peaceful location on the island’s east side, Sandblu sets a new standard for thoughtful luxury amongst the sparkling Aegean Sea.
“We eagerly await the opportunity to warmly welcome U.S. and international guests to our first full season at Sandblu,” said Leonidas Anagnostou, General Manager, Sandblu. “We have meticulously curated a five-star, luxury retreat experience with intention, assembling the best in wellness, gastronomy, design and hospitality rooted in local connection. We are proud to offer a home away from home where cherished memories will be created.”
Sandblu also offers a posh Kids Club with daily programming, two immaculate pools and a VIP concierge to arrange specialized island excursions such as horse-riding along volcanic beaches, wine-tasting at local vineyards, and yacht trips around Santorini’s caldera, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
DESIGN
Sandblu features cascading geometric architecture that seems to tumble down the mountain to meet the sea, a seamlessly intertwined juxtaposition of cliffs to coast guided by the natural landscape. Designed by Rockwell Group, Sandblu embraces the beauty of the outdoors from within, featuring natural local stones, white-washed woods, and luxurious marbles punctuated with pops of blue and sage green as a nod to the sea, lush greenery, and bold bougainvillea.
The hotel is comprised of spacious and elegantly appointed rooms and suites designed in a modern, Greek aesthetic. Many feature outdoor terraces and private plunge pools set against sweeping sea views. ESPA bath amenities, thoughtful turndown service, bathrobes, and slippers, among other luxe touches, ensure maximum comfort.
Sandblu’s three immaculate villas set the bar for Greek luxury. Spread across two floors, Villa Orama and Villa Oniro suit families and groups. Each boasts a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, two lavish bedrooms with en-suite marble bathrooms, and a private terrace featuring ample space for entertaining or a secluded dip in the infinity pool.
BE WELL
With inspiration rooted in Greek mythology and the awakening of beauty and energy, Aurora spa invites guests to an oasis of eight treatment rooms, a sauna, indoor pool and an indulgent portfolio of customizable treatments featuring 111SKIN and ESPA ranging from de-puffing cryo facials to celestial black diamond facials and deep muscle massages. Aurora offers multi-day wellness retreats and tailored programs to promote health, beauty and well-being. Manicure, pedicure and haircare services are also available.
