Santorini, Greece
Magma Resort Santorini - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Natural Wonder
What it is
A modern and serene 59-room retreat on volcanic cliffs with a lava spa, an infinity pool that appears to blend into the Aegean and a restaurant by a two Michelin-starred chef.
What it isn't
Poorly serviced. Staff await to pamper all guests like the VIPs they are, with doting concierges, 24-hour room service, and even transportation assistance on request.
What we think
If you’ve ever wanted to live like an ancient Greek God or Goddess, Magma is the place. Each and every guest room here is Luxe with a capital L, starting with the 1 King Bed room: a 322 square foot abode with a lofted, custom bed underlit by glowing LEDs and floor to ceiling windows that open to a terrace. We also love the Junior Suite Seaview with Jacuzzi, where you can steep under the stars. Either way, expect plush amenities—including a Nespresso machine for coffee and tea, zippy free WiFi, plush robe, unfettered gym access, an individually controlled thermostat and so much more. While you’re here, let the local staffers suggest their must-do island thrills, which range from wine tasting in nearby estates to exploring the volcanic caldera.
You're here because
The hotel has outdoor fire pits: the perfect place to watch the sun set pinkly over the water, a cocktail in-hand.
The Moment
Inspired by the earthquake that rocked this island in the 17th century, Magma by Spondi restaurant is hot—really hot. 2 Michelin starred chef Arnaud Bignon helmed the menu, which you can taste in every bite, from the scallops cooked on rocks with verbena and kumquat to the lobster with grapefruit and coriander.
