Five white suites suspended above the caldera, no reception or lobby: we ring, we enter, we stay.

From
997.6 €
“Private pools carved into the volcanic rock, facing Oia's sunset with no overlooking.”
Aspaki by Art Maisons occupies five troglodyte suites on the cliffside, at the end of the pedestrian path in Oia. We reach them via staircases carved into the stone, no porter, no lobby. The spaces are dug into the tuff: white vaults, polished concrete floors, minimalist furniture in driftwood and linen. Each suite comes with a private infinity pool (4 to 6 m²) facing due west, towards the cruise ships gliding to Fira. Silence is absolute after 10pm, when the tourists head back down to Ammoudi. From 997 € a night, breakfast delivered in a wicker basket to the terrace at the requested time ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Aspaki to couples fleeing hotel complexes and seeking autonomy: no concierge, no room service after 11pm, we manage our keys and schedules. It's an address for discreet honeymoons, wedding anniversaries, romantic retreats where we spend three days without meeting anyone. Families with children under 12 are not accepted, the stairs and barrierless pools explain why.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The five suites occupy yposkafa, troglodyte dwellings dug in the 18th century by Oia sailors. Art Maisons restored the spaces in 2009: barrel vaults limewashed, arched openings, grey polished concrete floors. Suites measure 35 to 55 m², terraces included. Bespoke furniture in whitened oak, king-size beds, bathrooms in white tadelakt. No television, no minibar: the idea is to gaze at the sea.
Highlights

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Santorini
Aspaki stands north-west of Oia, beyond the main square, accessible only on foot (5 minutes from the municipal car park). The village is the most photographed on Santorini: cobbled lanes, blue domes, art galleries. A dozen acclaimed tables lie within 300 m (Ambrosia, Roka, Karma). The airport is 17 km away (20 minutes by car), Athinios port 22 km. Oia is quiet off-season (November-March), swamped with tourists from June to September, especially at sunset.
