Cave hotels in Santorini are transformed old traditional Santorini houses carved into the island’s volcanic rock. Most of these hotels are located in Oia, Imerovigli, and the capital of Santorini, Fira. They are very similar to the cave hotels in Cappadocia but quite different from those in Mykonos, as these are more designed than naturally built, like the ones in Santorini.
BUT ALSO CHECK:
- In Oia: Lava Caves
- In Imerovigli:Divine Cave
- For Honeymoon:Canaves Oia
Back then, Santorini’s residents had to break the rock to create houses that would be cool in the summer and protected from the strong winter winds. The Best Cave Hotels in Santorini are also some of the most impressive hotels in the world, and you will have to pay a premium price for a room. (If money is an issue, here is a list of the best Santorini cheap hotels.)
Most of the hotels on this list offer amazing cave suites that have been fully redecorated and are equipped with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel or 5-star Hotels in Santorini. Most also offer a hot tub or a private cave pool. Almost all cave hotels in Santorini provide breathtaking views of the caldera and the volcano through a private balcony, along with all the usual facilities such as flat TV screens and free Wi-Fi.READ ALSO:

WHERE TO STAY IN SANTORINI
You are probably already aware that the famous views of Santorini, overlooking the sunset and the volcano, do not come at low prices. You should look at Santorini’s beach hotels if you cannot afford these. However, if you can afford those stunning views, I highly recommend staying in Imerovigli instead of Oia. 
The best area to stay in Santorini is the west coast, which offers uninterrupted, world-famous views of the volcano and caldera and incredible sunsets.
CONCLUSION
I truly believe that by staying in a cave hotel in Santorini, you will be experiencing one of the most amazing accommodations of your life. These are not just some cave hotels carved on the cliffside volcanic rocks with spectacular views of the caldera.
These are luxury boutique hotels with excellent service and overall great attentive staff. These are some of the most romantic hotels in Santorini and can be incredible choices for a honeymoon in Santorini.
