Apart from everything else, Santorini is famous for its hotels with private pool. Having a private outdoor pool or a hot tub (or a plunge pool) at your doorstep overlooking the famous volcano is a really exclusive experience…as long as you can afford it!
There are many hotels in Santorini who offer suites or rooms with private pools and outdoor jacuzzi with amazing caldera views to the volcano and the famous sunset.
But to be honest with you, these come at a very high price and they are some of the most expensive rooms you can find in Europe. For a very good reason though, as this is the most stunning view you would probably see in your life. Most hotels at this price tag though usually have an incredible shared infinity pool as well with an impressive pool bar , which can also be an amazing experience by itself.
