Sandblu Santorini has announced it will be reopening its doors in April following an expansion of the resort which has included the addition of 15 new rooms, each elegantly designed by Rockwell Group…
Since opening in July 2024, Sandblu has set a new benchmark for luxury stays in Santorini, offering a tranquil spa and world-class cuisine set across the resort’s hilltop position overlooking Kamari beach. Built into the foothills of the scorched Thira mountain, the resort cascades down the mountain in the style of a traditional Santorini village.

With a total of 66 spacious rooms, suites and villas, each of the new state-of-the-art spaces is a continuation of Sandblu’s minimalist design, characterised by white-washed walls and punctuated with accents of pastel blues and greys, as well as wood and Grecian marble details. Over half of the accomodations feature private terraces with pools overlooking the ocean, offering guests a secluded spot to immerse themselves in the beauty of Santorini.

This season, Sandblu introduces the Santovini Wine Cellar, a hidden gem nestled within a natural cave on the property. Designed as a refined space for private dining, wine, and olive oil tastings, Santovini offers an intimate setting perfect for romantic evenings or celebratory gatherings. This year, guests will also be able to explore the new Sandblu Garden where they can freshly pick their own vegetables and herbs in preparation for cooking classes with the Head Chef.
Dining, inspired by local produce, remains at the heart of the Sandblu experience. The resort’s two restaurants are a centrepiece of any guest experience, and this year guests will have the opportunity to dine away from the hotel at their own restaurant in the nearby village of Imerovigli on the west coast. Featuring four suites, overlooking the sunset views of Santorini’s caldara, this new outpost will allow guests to enjoy Sandblu’s unparalleled cuisine on both sides of the island.

Back at the resort, Plateia restaurant will now be open throughout the day, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with sweeping views of the infinity pool and ocean. Another culinary highlight is speciality dining venue Nectar, where guests can explore modern Greek dishes and seafood freshly caught that day. Wine enthusiasts can head to Aroma wine bar which boasts an extensive collection of 300 local and international vintages, while mornings begin perfectly at Stari Bakery, where the scent of flaky pastries and artisanal coffee fills the air.

This year, Sandblu’s wellness offering has been enhanced with the addition of a new Pilates area and personal training space which adds to the existing schedule of yoga taking place in the zen garden. This complements the resort’s Aurora spa which offers serene views across the ocean, as well as a sauna, an indoor pool and a spectrum of customisable premium treatments using 111SKIN and ESPA – ranging from de-puffing cryo facials to celestial black diamond facials and deep muscle massages.
“Our resort sets a new benchmark for luxury stays in Santorini, offering facilities and activities that delight guests of all ages. We invite our guests to immerse themselves in the beauty, flavours and serenity of Santorini, creating memories to last a lifetime” commented Leonidas Anagnostou, General Manager of Sandblu.
