The details that shape your stay
Setting
The retreat lies outside central Oia and offers complimentary on-request shuttles to Oia and Ammoudi.
Pools
Every suite and villa has private water; the hotel also has two main pools, including a vast rooftop pool, plus a children's pool.
Dining
Elements Restaurant, Omnia Restaurant and the Sunset Lounge create distinct settings from breakfast through evening.
Families
Spacious villas and a personalized children's program make Epitome one of Santorini's most comfortable high-end family stays.
Every suite and villa includes a private pool experience
There is no traditional club lounge. The accommodation itself defines the level of privacy and service: plunge-pool suites are intimate and romantic, while pool villas add separate living, larger water, outdoor dining and up to several bedrooms for families or friends.
