Sandblu Santorini, LXR Hotels & Resorts: First Look
Set against the volcanic cliffs and sunlit terraces of Santorini, Sandblu Santorini, LXR Hotels & Resorts marks a defining moment for luxury hospitality in the Greek islands. As the first property in LXR Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio to debut in Greece, the resort introduces a more intimate, design-forward interpretation of luxury—one rooted in place, privacy, and the quiet beauty of the Aegean. Scheduled to welcome guests for the 2026 season, it signals a new level of sophistication for Santorini beyond its more crowded caldera-edge icons.

Perched on the eastern slopes of the island in Kamari, at the foothills of Ancient Thira, the resort is designed as a contemporary Cycladic sanctuary. Its 66 rooms, suites, and villas—nearly a third with private pools—are defined by whitewashed walls, volcanic stone textures, and expansive terraces that open to sweeping views of the Aegean Sea or tranquil poolscapes. The architecture draws from the language of a traditional Greek village while embracing modern minimalism, creating spaces that feel both grounded and elevated.

Wellness and lifestyle are central to the experience. Guests can move between two infinity pools overlooking the coastline, a serene spa with thermal facilities, a two-level fitness center, and a yoga garden designed for open-air mindfulness. A dedicated beach area along Kamari’s iconic black-sand shoreline offers a more immersive connection to the island, balancing seclusion with access to Santorini’s natural rhythms.
Dining at Sandblu reflects the island’s culinary identity while embracing global refinement. A signature restaurant and all-day dining venue—designed to blur indoor and outdoor living—highlight seasonal Mediterranean flavors, while a wine bar and cellar celebrate Santorini’s centuries-old winemaking tradition. Additional touches, from a bakery to curated retail spaces and a kids club, reinforce the property’s vision as a self-contained, experience-driven retreat.
