Mystique hotel in Santorini

published in: Travel By Costas Voyatzis, Jul 12th 2008

Situated on Oia’s famous cliffs, the stylish Mystique features dazzling views of clear blue equatorial waters, the volcano, and the Aegean Caldera. Surrounded by some of the world’s most beautiful scenery, our resort’s island-style design pays homage to nature in a climate of unabashed luxury. Our ideal location is just 18 kilometers from Santorini Airport and 20 kilometers from Athinios Port. 18 suites and villas are spread across more than 2,000 square meters, providing a sensorial experience in surroundings of understated elegance. All accommodations are lovingly handcrafted from wood, local stone, and glass with enticing patterns carved into the walls. Antique textiles and plump, luxurious towels will wrap you in their warmth and comfort. Spend the day beneath the clear blue sky in our outdoor infinity-edge pool. Slatted wooden decks that lead to the plunge pool are surrounded by sun beds for the utmost relaxation. Gather together for a casual drink or delicious meal at the Aura pool bar, the Charisma gourmet restaurant, or Secret wine cave.

Mystique is a natural, exclusive retreat reserved for only the most discerning of travelers.


    The hotel was awarded on the 12th February in New York with the Travel & Leisure Design Award 2008 for the Best Small Resort in the World. As the publication notes, “Architecture and design shape every aspect of the travel experience”. Mystique was honoured for its standout design attended by Frank Lefebvre of Bleu Nature.
    Its 18 Suites and Villas with a contemporary, yet respectful towards the tradition design, have managed to perfectly adopt in the surrounding area of the traditional Cycladic village of Oia on the caldera of Santorini. Mystique’s facilities include an outdoor infinity pool at the cliff’s edge, the Charisma gourmet restaurant, the poolside Aura bar and the Secret Wine Cave, a dramatic 150 year old wine cellar.
    Mystique was selected by a panel of seven jurors: Philanthropist and President Emerita of the Museum of Modern Art Agnes Gund - head of design for Nike John Hoke - accessory designer and cofounder of Lambertson Truex Richard Lambertson - Director of the Neue Galerie New York Renée Price - architect Hani Rashid - architect David Rockwell - fashion designer Yeohlee Teng.
    After the winning of two awards for the opening year 2007, the “Art and Design” by the Greek Chamber of Hotels & Tourism and the “Best Interior Design Suite” by Sleep European Hotel Design Awards, the honor to receive an International Award from Travel & Leisure proves that the success will continue in the years to follow.
