NOŪS Santorini Review

Santorini is one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. NOŪS Santorini’s location in the charming village of Messaria is very convenient. There are several bars and restaurants in the village itself, which is just 8 minutes drive from the capital, Fira. It’s a 26 minute drive to Oia, where you can see some of the famous blue dome churches of Santorini.

As you step into the hotel, you’ll be amazed by its contemporary design, sleek lines, and minimalist decor, which creates an atmosphere of understated glamour and luxury. Designed by Mplusmarchitects, everything in the hotel is carefully thought out and meticulously designed, from the floor-to-ceiling windows to the curated art collection.

Inspired by the unique colour palette of Santorini, this luxury resort hotel features rich tones of earthy reds, eclectic artworks and a naturalist garden. The mosaic floors in stunning terracotta shades give a unique character to the property.

Dining and Drinking at NOŪS Santorini

NOŪS Santorini offers two dining options, both unique in their own way.

First, there’s Elios Italian American Chophouse, which offers a fine-dining experience with sustainable produce. This signature restaurant specializes in steakhouse dishes and Italian classics.

Then, there’s the Pool Restaurant, Bar & Lounge. This all day restaurant has a creative menu that blends traditional Greek dishes with international flavors.

We particularly like their fresh salads, poke bowls and Black Angus burgers. The Pool Bar is a chic and relaxed outdoor bar where you can enjoy a cocktail or two while admiring the stunning view of the Aegean Sea.

This is also the breakfast restaurant, which is one of the best hotel breakfasts that we have ever encountered. There’s natural honeycomb, several different types of Greek yoghurt, a cereal bar, a wide range of cheeses and hams and also some great cooked to order dishes.

Both restaurants offer excellent service and a magical atmosphere that is perfect for creating memories.

The Vitamin Bar can be found next to the spa and fitness centre. It has healthy food options such as cereal bars, smoothies and salads.
