Because we know that nothing spells romance better than gazing at the amber skies over the comfort and privacy of your suite, if you wish to admire the sunset on Santorini in privacy and style, then the best spot is Santo Maris Oia Luxury Suites & Spa.
Located right next to Oia center offering an unsurpassed view to the sunset and sea, you will need to choose among 57 Suites and 2 Villas, all with private heated jacuzzi on their veranda.
For access to the most spectacular reverie of purples and orange in the world and extra doses of romance, we have created a dreamy honeymoon suite with sunset views, which is both spacious and luxurious, offering you a VIP treatment every time you stay with us.
Moreover, the honeymoon suite with sunset view is not the only room designed to offer you first-row sunset. During the summer season 2018, our brand-new and most exclusive part of Santo Maris Oia opened, the Cyclades Suites Neighborhood with the Exclusive Sunset Junior Suites and the Exclusive Sunset Suites Private Pool with exclusive vistas of the mesmerizing sunset of Oia.
Our restaurant, Alios Ilios is designed for romance and serenity too. Here, you can taste fine Greek cuisine and quality wines, and admire the dazzling Aegean Sea glittering in gold and murex under the honey-tones of the Santorini sunset. Besides Santo Maris Oia Luxury Suites & Spa, there are other great spots to admire the sunset in Santorini.
Sunset Serenade
Sunset Serenade is busy and crowded, full of camera-toting tourists ready to snap a million shots of the celestial spectacle. Albeit packed, this spot is spectacular. As the sun dips into the sea, you get to see the mesmerizing colorful glow of the light on the whitewashed cliff-houses of Oia. Many of the stunning sunset pictures of Santorini are captured from this spot.
The Walls of the Ruins of the Kastro in Oia
Oia’s “Kastro” is another favorite spot for sunset gazers. You’ll see many tourists climbing up the walls to get a high-vantage to observe the phenomenon. People start their pilgrimage to this place sometimes two hours before the sunset to make sure they find a place to sit down in comfort.
Atlantis Books in Oia
This is a lovely spot for bookworms, of course. The shop organizes regular sunset reading sessions and other events on their rooftop terrace. It’s a different kind of magic to listen to a story when the sun plays Picasso in the sky.
Finikia Village
Finikia is small and unassuming, with charming traditional Cycladic homes, beautiful churches, narrow streets, and fewer tourists than Oia. It is a beautiful destination to watch the sunset far from the crowds. Head up to Kyra Panagia for the best vantage point or visit Domaine Sigalas to sip Assyrtiko while gazing at the sunset.
Imerovigli
Imerovigli, the “balcony of the caldera,” is impossibly beautiful at sunset. It rules at the highest point of the caldera and has the stuff of postcard blues, especially when the sun sets into the Aegean Sea. You will experience a true “wow” moment when you go here to see the show put up in the sky by the sun as the twilight brings the night near.
Akrotiri
The lighthouse of Akrotiri is another romantic spot at sundown. Erected in 1892 by a French company, this landmark is one of the most beautiful of its kind you will see in this part of the world. Sunset-watching doesn’t get better than this.
Of course, the entire island has fairylike attributes under the sunset. Wherever you are on Santorini before nightfall, you will feel inspired to capture the moment every time.
