Istoria Beach’s 12 idyllic suites are impressively arched towards the privacy of verdant terraces, offering an additional layer of refuge to this resplendent haven.

Istoria’s private beach club is the ultimate spot to unwind under the bright Cycladic sun, enjoy the black volcanic pebbly sand, and immerse yourself in spectacular deep blue waters.

Immerse yourself in a sanctuary featuring an artisan-tiled large pool, modern Greek cuisine that respects tradition, and wellness experiences designed to nurture body and spirit.

Location
With two distinct locations, Istoria Beach and Istoria Cliff, guests can enjoy both the energy of the coast and the calm of the caldera.
Set directly on Perivolos Beach’s 3km stretch of volcanic black sand, Istoria Beach offers a serene seaside escape on Santorini’s quieter eastern coast, connected to the island yet removed from its bustle.
Istoria Cliff sits 30 minutes away on the rugged caldera cliffs of Firostefani, where whitewashed houses, hidden chapels, and sweeping volcano views create a timeless, slower-paced setting.
Guests at both properties enjoy full access to Istoria Beach’s facilities. Istoria Cliff guests also benefit from in-room breakfast, optional in-suite spa treatments, and twice-daily shuttle service to the Beach Club, restaurant, and spa, subject to advance booking.

Architecture Interior Design Laboratorium
Original architectural elements at Istoria Beach are incorporated into the interiors of the suites, creating a spectacular blend of historic and contemporary features. Every corner exudes intimacy, relaxation, and comfort, producing a vision that brings the experience of a Santorini mansion to life. Istoria Cliff, meanwhile, presents cave-house sanctuaries with views that open onto the submerged volcano and the infinite blue of the Aegean. The property seems to float high in the cliffs and is bathed in Santorini’s legendary light.
Interior design Shaped by the sea, carved into cliffs
Shaped by the island’s landscape and the quiet rhythm of life by the sea, Istoria Beach complements a contemporary design approach with terracotta, natural wood, and classical decorative touches. In the bright, sculptural suites, impressive arched openings guide guests toward introspective terraces, offering moments of complete privacy and breathtaking views. Istoria Cliff, meanwhile, is designed for calm and comfort with stunning panoramic views, abundant natural light, and open spaces that draw one’s attention naturally from the rugged cliffs to the expansive sea.
