The newly rebranded Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas officially reopened for the 2023 season with an exciting new chef, wellness offerings and focus on sustainable living. This month, the property opens 20 new suites, extending the resort’s existing elegant, sophisticated living to 83 suites and two villas.

Located a five-minute walk from Oia’s bustling caldera, Santo Pure offers guests a feeling of space, serenity and pure relaxation from the moment they arrive. Separated into six sprawling neighborhoods with Mediterranean gardens centered around six pools, Santa Pure resembles a typical Santorini village, combining traditional Cycladic architecture with contemporary black lava and white soothing tones.

New for the 2023 season, Santo Pure offers guests the chance to extend their wellbeing with a new wellness offering that can be added to any room. These add-ons place natural wellness at the heart of guests’ stays to help enhance their sense of well-being.

Guests can reconnect with nature, relax and recharge with a combination of amenities in the suites, specialized spa treatments, outdoor activities, and outdoor yoga with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea as a backdrop.

Alios Ilios, the resort’s fine-dining restaurant, reopens with a new head chef. Adreas Vgenopoulos joins Santo Pure after a 22-year career working at 5-star restaurants and hotels in Greece, Sweden, Austria and France. Vgenopoulos creates a new seasonal menu taking inspiration from his Mediterranean and international experience.

Atticus Hotel Review

This homespun country inn is most associated with a wine country vacation, commonly decorated with “craftsman”- or “farmhouse”-inspired décor. While these often-folksy inns provide a sense of place, Erin Stephenson and Brian Shea, founders of Atticus Hotel, shook up that formula ever so slightly. Rather than go the “quaint” route, an eclectic and urbane mix of furnishings and accents blend the Pacific Southwest Americana of Willamette Valley hub McMinnville with the contemporary sensibility of Portland, located 40 miles south.

Immerse in Retro Style and Aviation History at TWA Hotel

Stepping into the lobby at TWA Hotel transports travelers in a whole different way. While most people plan vacations to travel to another destination, this particular hub instead takes you back in time to the golden era of aviation. The award-winning space resides in the expertly designed and restored former Trans World Airlines Flight Center, originally constructed by Eero Saarinen in 1962.
