Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

I can’t express enough how great this resort is! The customer service is outstanding. They were quick to respond to concerns and issues. The rooms were spacious. The only thing I’d change would be the showers in the bathrooms. They are too small. But the tubs are deep and luxurious. They anticipate your every need, even including toothbrushes in the bathroom kits. There are 2 pools, a great breakfast and plenty of restaurants/quaint shops nearby . You can immerse yourself in the Grecian culture. I even loved the bells that rang on the hour (and 5 mins before the hour).

I can’t speak highly enough about the Vedema resort in Megalochori: this was the best hotel we’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. My husband and I went to Santorini for 4 nights to celebrate our babymoon. When we arrived via private hotel transfer, Anastasia warmly greeted us and began offering her recommendations on activities and dining experiences. She has amazing taste, and even better recommendations, don’t pass up on the chance to chat with her!

Everything at this property was seamless. We communicated with the front desk via WhatsApp, and they were extremely prompt and courteous for any of our requests. We were able to order in breakfast and dine by our pool, schedule transport to see various sites around the island, reserve chairs at the Black Sand beach, book restaurants, wine tastings, and massages. It was like having a private concierge at your fingertips.

At the Black Sand beach, Bismarck and Rebecca were extremely hospitable and welcoming. We loved spending the day on the loungers, eating their delicious food and mocktails, and jumping into the crystal clear waters next to the impressive dark sand.

If you have the opportunity, we highly recommend you kick off your trip with a wine tasting hosted by the property’s somm and beverage director, Eleni. She has a wealth of knowledge, and got us extremely excited for all the wines we would explore further into our trip.

The hotel is a bit off the beaten path in a mountain village called Megalochori, which was actually ideal because there were less cruise ship crowds to navigate as we wandered the gorgeous cobblestone hilly village.

We would highly recommend Vedema, and we were so grateful for all the staff who made our stay so special!

We stayed there in September 2024 — excellent hotel - the food was very good, the suite was superb and the service was brilliant! We took the Aegean Suite and jt was beautiful - in fact, the entire hotel was really good - as far as service is concerned, i have not seen better service in any other hotel in Europe for a very long time — all the staff - whether it was the concierge, the reception staff, the cleaners, the people at the restaurant — all of them — professional, cordial, attentive - very good. Thank you to all the people in the hotel - please keep up the brilliant work that you guys are doing!

A perfect spot away from all the tourist crowd, close to so many good restaurants and activity. Rooms were cared for and promptly maintained, food at the restaurants was amazing. If you have enough time definitely recommend the spa.

Great SPG property. Unique amongst the hundreds they have. Only 50 or so rooms, and all are suites. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Probate Beach area with pool a great person. Shuttle was awesome. Used twice everyday. But best of all was how good they were to our kids. They provided free, fresh made baby food!

The most beautiful resort hotel! Boutique 46 spacious rooms/villas with views of the Agean. Quaint village close to many winery/vineyards. Excellent staff, amazing restaurant on site, spa and pool. Some rooms have private pools. A must stay in Santorini!

The PERFECT resort for our stay in Santorini. What is not to like about this hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The grounds are meticulously kept. The private beach section the hotel provides the guests was amazing and relaxing. The hotel offered a complimentary cocktail hour one of the nights of our stay and really made us feel welcome.

The resort is not near Fira or Oia (and that is great!) it is located in the southern portion of the island where it is much more peaceful. The hotel provides a great shuttle service to Fira and the private hotel managed beach area. The breakfast is nicely laid out and the cappuccino / espresso and fresh squeezed juices were a great touch.

Our next trip to Santorini will be at Hotel Vedema.
