Domes, a Greek luxury lifestyle hospitality brand, recently announced the upcoming opening of its latest hotel, Domes Novos Santorini, which is set to welcome guests from April 2024.

Located on the north-western corner of Santorini in the Tholos region, which aptly translates to ‘Domes’, the hotel sits away from the typically trodden paths.

The family-friendly hotel will boast 50 suites and two villas, each with its own private pool and terrace, offering views to Santorini’s renowned sunsets, local vineyards and the Aegean Sea.

According to Domes’ management, the brand’s 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”.
