"Imerovigli edge, every suite with private terrace, Mikrasia restaurant for the anniversary-dinner-tier honeymoon."
Iconic Santorini is the hotel that occupies the cliff just south of Skaros Rock, the geological feature that anchors Imerovigli and produces the best inverse-Oia sunset photograph on the island. Twenty-six suites, all with private terraces, the upper tiers with cliff-edge plunge pools. The architecture is contemporary Cycladic, pale plaster and pale wood, designed by the M&L Group in 2017. Mikrasia (the hotel's cliffside restaurant) is one of the most romantic dinner rooms on the caldera and consistently the best-reviewed Imerovigli kitchen. The hotel's geographical position is its asset: from the cliff terrace, the view extends from the Skaros promontory directly below to the Oia tip in the distance, the wider angle than any single Oia hotel can offer. Iconic is the honeymoon hotel for couples who want the Imerovigli view, the contemporary suite product, and the strong restaurant, without the price premium of Grace or the scale of Cavo Tagoo.
Iconic Suite or Cliff Pool Suite, private plunge pool, panoramic caldera view including Skaros Rock.
Reserve Mikrasia for night two and book the cliff-edge two-top. The Skaros Rock walk afterwards (ten minutes down, twenty minutes back) is the best post-dinner experience in Imerovigli, the Skaros chapel at the rock's tip is empty after 9pm.
Iconic Santorini sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Santorini for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a honeymoon-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Santorini neighbourhood, see Imerovigli, central Santorini and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
Have firm dates? Our editor's advice is to book roughly twelve weeks in advance. The view-facing suites disappear earliest, and high-season inventory moves on a timescale of months, not weeks. The plunge-pool and terrace suites, the categories that justify this ranking, tend to sell out before anything else.
