Santo Mine is a new all-suite luxury hideaway carved into the cliffs of Oia on the site of an old stone mine above the enchanting Ammoudi Bay. With direct views over the Aegean Sea, all new 37 individual suites come with a private pool or jacuzzi, and have taken inspiration from Santorini’s rugged landscape, calming earth tones, Mediterranean aesthetics, and Cycladic minimalism.
