Where Do Celebrities Stay in Santorini?
There’s no more romantic place in the world than Santorini. With dramatic cliffs jutting steeply out of the stark blue Mediterranean Sea, this is what dreams are made of….& where Homeric myths were born. Some even believe that Santorini was home to the Lost City of Atlantis. Due to its incredible beauty, it has attracted stars for ages: from Hugh Jackman & Beyonce, to Kim Kardashian & “Girls Next Door” star Bridget Marquardt. Here, we’ll find out: “Where Do Celebrities Stay in Santorini?”
Santorini is famous for its private “cave” pools. This shot is from Canaves Oia: a star favorite.
Most recently, Season 6 of the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” was filmed in Santorini & Mykonos ~ the two most popular Greek Islands. In case you’re wondering where the Housewives stayed on Santorini: they stayed at Andronis Arcadia, an upscale-minimalist hotel just 5-minutes from Oia.
Map of Santorini Hotels
The island’s two largest towns are Oia (in the north), & Fira (more central). Both have great restaurants & nightlife, & each are perched on the cliff’s edge, with incredible view. Enter your travel dates in the map below to get current hotel pricing for the island.
Overview of Famous Santorini Hotels
Where do the Kardashians stay when they’re in Santorini? Find out below…. Photo: Daily Mail.
- Vedema Luxury Resort ($$$$) = The Private Santorini Retreat for True A-Lister’s. Angelina Jolie has stayed in their private villa, & Beyonce stayed here during a photo shoot for her clothing line. But know that you’re not in town at Vedema: you’re pretty far from the hustle & bustle of Fira, closer to wineries, with a more rural vibe. Great if you’re seeking privacy, but not great if you’d like to walk to restaurants.
- Canaves Oia ($$$) = 17th-Century Cave Complex Turned Chic Resort. You had me at “Cave Resort!” Celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, Helen Hunt, fitness guru Lucy Mecklenburgh, & former basketball star Kobe Bryant have all stayed at Canaves Oia. Some even call it the “Most Instagrammable Hotel in the World,” & from the photos below: you’ll see why. This is my #1 choice for a chic retreat in Santorini! Check prices at Canaves Oia.
- Celestia Grand ($$$$) = Where the Kardashians Stayed in Santorini! The Kardashians first visited back in 2013, staying in the resort’s Sapphire Villa. Since then, many have returned ~ whether it’s Kendall Jenner for photo shoots, or Kourtney on a romantic getaway. Many suites have private pools with sea views….making it a great place for honeymoon’ers.
- Andronis Luxury Suites ($$$) = Another Kardashian Fave + Popular with Influencers. Kylie Jenner & several Kardashians have stayed at this impossibly beautiful Santorini hotel. Famous travel blogger Kiersten Rich, aka “The Blonde Abroad” has been here too….which shows how popular this hotel is with the “Young & In-the-Know” crowd. But couples honeymooning love it too. They’ve been featured in Conde Nast, British Vogue, & Travel + Leisure. And most recently, the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” stayed at their sister property: Andronis Arcadia.
- Perivolas Lifestyle Houses ($$$) = Top-Secret Getaway for the Rich & Famous. This impeccable hotel is run by a famous Grecian family. And to their credit: they keep their high-end clientele out of the spotlight. But everyone from the world’s leading architects, to Hollywood A-List’ers & supermodels have all stayed here ~ you’ll just never hear about it.

“We didn’t want to leave! Truly amazing experience at Perivolas. The location is perfect. Far enough away from town to enjoy peace & quiet ~ but close enough to walk in 10 minutes. This hotel is worth the price. Our favorite part was the infinity pool. Take me back!”– A Client from New York

Canaves actually has several properties in Santorini: their signature Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel (pictured below), Canaves Oia Sunday Suites, & Canaves Oia Epitome ~ which is located in northern Oia. You can’t go wrong at any of their properties. So if one is booked for your dates: try another.
Ahhhhhh. This is what you come to Santorini for. Infinity pools + views. Photo: Canaves.
This is why Canaves is one of the most Instagrammable hotels in the world.

“A Little Piece of Heaven in Oia. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The views from Canaves Oia are just breathtaking. We stayed in Suite #1, which is a 2-BR suite with a plunge pool that floats above the sea. We absolutely loved our stay here.”

The Greek Islands are some of my favorite places in the world….& I’ve actually been to Santorini twice. It’s as magical as it looks in photos, & it’s hard for me to imagine a more romantic place in the world.

Welcome to GWTW!
I was in charge of organizing a “Sister’s Getaway” in Santorini. My sisters said they wanted to stay “where the Kardashians stayed,” LOL. Your article popped up, and I booked the Celestia Grand. WE LOVED IT!! Had a private pool overlooking the ocean, and we spent many nights enjoying cocktails with one of the grandest views in the world. Thanks so much for helping facilitate a great family vacation, Cara.
Thank you SO MUCH for this great comment & feedback, Cara! A sisters trip to Santorini indeed sounds like the most wonderful of ideas. So glad you guys were able to create such good memories there!! xoxo Noelia
