Domes, Greece’s prestigious luxury lifestyle hospitality brand, has announced the upcoming opening of its latest hotel, Domes Novos Santorini, which is set to welcome guests from April 2024. The architecturally striking, family-friendly hotel will boast 50 suites and two villas, each with its own private pool and terrace to capitalise on Santorini’s renowned sunsets and views across local vineyards and the Aegean Sea.
Located on the island’s north-western corner in the Tholos region, which aptly translates to ‘Domes’, the hotel sits away from the typically trodden paths and contrasts with the saturated cliff-fronts. Domes’ vision is to offer an un-hurried and understated destination, with spacious suite and villa-only accommodation set back from the coastline, and the space to create a more authentic exploration and connection with the hyperlocal community and environment, without the crowds.
Culinary experiences are an indispensable element of the Domes brand, with Novos Santorini being no exception. The hotel offers a plethora of interactive and locally focused experiences including vineyard tours and tastings, working with winemakers, and immersive cooking classes. Onsite, epicurean lovers can revel in Domes’ new restaurant Vatanee, led by visionary and Head Chef Dionysis Anastopoulos, who aims to bring people closer together through his cooking with mezes, fine-dining and the best seasonal ingredients, handmade alipastas, pickles and cured meats – dishes inspired by Greek tradition, the land and the sea.
As with all of Domes’ properties, wellness is a central component, and guests can unwind in the exclusive Soma Spa ‘The Refined’ with traditional Greek spa rituals combined with contemporary methods and volcanic-infused treatments. Re-energise in the state-of-the-art gym and underground pool or indulge in holistic moments of yoga and meditation around the grapevine gardens.
Kiros Pagkalidis Architects has fused Cycladic luxury with a sustainable approach, using local materials including volcanic stone and blonde oak to design a sophisticated and neutral palette of terracotta, fresh whites and ashy greys, punctuated with indoor/outdoor spaces for an airy atmosphere – stylish for individuals and couples, and appealing to families. Additionally, interior designer, Olivia Siskou has been in charge of the resort’s interior spaces, adding local touches to the setting, whilst Fytron Landscapes team, with George Petsagkourakis, have designed the landscape of the property.
Domes Novos Santorini kicks off this year’s launches ahead of 91 Athens Riviera opening this summer, and follows 2023’s openings in Halkidiki, Milos and Mykonos to its current portfolio of now 11 hotels.
