Sun-soaked Santorini makes a compelling case for being one of the best islands in Greece. First up: the beaches. Red, black, white – it’s got all the colours. Then there are the whitewashed buildings built into the cliffs, some topped by brilliant blue domes. Majestic. And then there are the views of the ancient caldera (volcanic crater) in the Aegean. There’s nothing like it, especially when the sun sets.
It’s important to note that while all-inclusive holidays aren’t really a thing here, there are plenty of resorts in Santorini that have all the key ingredients needed for a hassle-free, chilled-out stay on-site, from swimming pools and spas to restaurants and bars. And often with breakfast included. Here are three that hit that mark.
With a generous buffet breakfast included in most deals and snacks and drinks available on-site, you can easily spend your days at Makarios Beach Hotel swimming, playing tennis and relaxing in the jacuzzi while the kids make the most of the play area. And the beach itself? It’s just a short walk away!
For a hassle-free, luxurious escape, the five-star Santorini Kastelli Resort has everything you need. And that includes pools for dipping in, a gym for keeping on top of your fitness, an open-air restaurant for lunches and dinners (breakfast is included) and a spa for your pick of relaxing treatments.
