Noūs Santorini, a Member of Design Hotels

The best 5-star resort in Santorini. They upgraded us to private pool suite with Amex Fine hotel benefits. The pool is perfect size with warm water made our stay fabulous. This staffs in hotel are all friendly and the room is spotless clean. The bed super comfy. Variety breakfast is a bonus. Dinner is also delicious. Location is very convenient and only 2 min walk to bus stop to Fira. Only 5 min to airport. Definitely come back and strongly recommend.

Could not fault anything!!

This resort was amazing!! We had a room with our own pool for our honeymoon was so perfect!!

There's a lot to love about this hotel. I would likely stay here again for a night or two if I'm back in Santorini and most likely I will return to Santorini since I only got one day in Santorini. First the hotel is very modern and if you love modern design, you will love it. My husband totally loved it, but I thought it was too modern. Rooms beautiful and the pool area is well appointed with a table and chairs as well as two very comfortable loungers. It was late Sept so it was chilly to use the pool. The hotel is quite large and there's a lot of ground to cover if the suite is far from the main area. The main pool is large and gorgeous. There's not that much of a view and that's regretful. My hotel suite was the corner suite with a view of a parking lot to the right. Thankfully, it wasn't a busy parking lot. If I were to have stayed there for a few days, I would definitely have asked for a different room. The bed was very comfortable and I think it was California king size. We slept very well. The highlights of the hotel were the breakfast buffet, ample pool area and the hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet was quite expansive and if you are a breakfast person, you would love it. However, there's no made to order station. The food at the restaurant was very good and innovative. We would have ordered more but the waiter said the portions were big but obviously he has not seen portion sizes in the US. Definitely take advantage of the restaurant if you can. The miss was the spa. I had high expectations based on the look of the hotel, but it's not like a typical high end luxury resort spa. A tiny locker room, no hair dryer nor amenities, one shower, no robe, no jacuzzi, and the saunas are co-ed. I didn't book a massage because I just didn't have the time, but based on the facility, I'm glad that I didn't get one. It would be a great resort to spend a full day in if it wasn't for the mediocre spa experience. I have to say though the hot and steam saunas are pretty hot and very clean. I chose this hotel because it is so close to the airport, but the trip far was still 40 euros despite the fact that the trip was little over than 5 mins. You can pay exorbitant cab fare to go everywhere, but there's a bus stop to Fira which is not far from the hotel. The only negative is that the road is very busy and there's not much of a sidewalk. We did take a bus to Fira and back and we managed it just fine. Just note that the bus sign to Fira is a paper that's stapled onto a tree trunk right front of the laundromat next to Carrefour. The bus fare is 2 euros/pp so even though we could afford the cab, 80 euros on RT cab ride seemed too much considering Fira was less than 10 minutes away. The bus also seemed to be filled with tourists too. I liked that there were local supermarkets right by the hotel and restaurants and shops for locals. So if you want to be away from busy tourist areas, looking for great service and comfortable stay, this hotel would be a great option.

NOUS Santorini is a little slice of heaven on earth, just a few minutes from the main airport. There are views of both the sea and the mountains from various spots around the hotel grounds, which are beautifully designed and pristine. Every element of the hotel, from the rooms and food to the spa and facilities, was exceptional. Of course, that's only half the story. The other half is the quality of the staff, all of whom were professional, respectful, and friendly. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Special mention must go to the spa, with brilliantly friendly and talented staff. I had a massage from Clio, which was the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. In fact, it was so good I rebooked for the next day. There was also a gym, which I used daily. It was well equipped, clean, and cool, perfect for exercising on hot days. If you are looking for one special place to visit, then this has to be on your list.
