Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

ロケーションが良く、お部屋も清潔で広かったです。 プールサイドで食べる朝食がとっても美味しかったです。また機会があれば泊まりたいです！

What a fabulous vacation we had on Santorini in a good part due to selecting this hotel. Great location away from the cruise ship crowds that go through Fira and onto Oi. We rented a car which was ideal. Airport 15 minutes, Oi 30-40 minutes, Fira 15 minutes , Perissa Beach 15 minutes. Highly recommend looking at the cruise ship schedule before visiting Oi or Fira! We went to Fira on a non cruise ship day and it was great! The hotel is located in a small village and the local restaurants and shops were fantastic. The hotel itself is beautifully laid out. We highly enjoyed the main pool area with a bar and restaurant. It was relatively easy to secure pool chairs any time of day. Only a few pre pool time chair savers. I would say compared to other hotels, there is less pool service here re; clean towels bin sometimes empty, a couple of days chairs not cleaned from birds, but overall staff were quite nice and walking up to the bar or getting your own towels is not a game changer in terms of my rating. The staff were very welcoming everywhere we went on property. Our 2 room/2 bath suite with kitchen/living room area was huge and welcoming and most of all spotless with the room serviced daily and an evening turndown. The hotel food is also highly recommended. We did the wine tasting and it was well done. This was family trip with a 1 and 2 year old and honestly Santorini and Vedema turned out to be more fabulous than we had hoped!

Nestled in the peaceful village of Megalochori—far from the cruise ship chaos—Vedema is a Cycladic dream at first glance. Picture: bougainvillea climbing over whitewashed walls, cobblestone paths winding through archways, and that signature sleepy Greek village energy. But beyond the postcard-perfect setting, the experience was a bit more… meh than magnificent. She Said: I was smitten with the vibe—serene, sun-soaked, and effortlessly romantic. Our suite had just enough space to feel indulgent without being over-the-top, and the private plunge pool was a dreamy cool down escape (if you ignore the weird white residue). One word of advice: pack real shoes. The cobblestones are charming until your sandals revolt. He Said: The food and cocktails? Delicious but definitely on the splurge-y side (think €30 for a drink). The A/C system seemed to moonlight as a white noise machine (not the good kind). And the “sea view”? Technically accurate… if you squint. From a ladder. With binoculars. If you’re looking to be ocean front, don’t stay here. The Kid Said: “There were SO MANY CUTE KITTENS! I wanted to take them ALL home.” (Note: Love at first sight when you see all of the cats but for people who are allergic (or don’t like them) good luck 🤞🏽. Pro Tip: Vedema guests get access to the beach club at the sister property. For €100, you’ll get 2 loungers, towels, fresh fruit, 2 signature cocktails, and roundtrip transport. Book very well in advance during high season.

This resort was located in Megalochori. There was a bus stop by walking 400 meters with Ktel bus to Fira costing 2 Euro. The bus lines between Fira and Akrotiri/Perissa will stop here so the frequency in daylight was ok ( around 20-30 minutes). This resort was designed to different types of villas. We received a room upgrade to a suite with two floors and jacuzzi which was very comfortable. Breakfast was very delicious to provide a variety of menu orders.

Vedema was a dream location during our stay in Santorini. Our villa had a private pool and the staff is super attentive to guests. When we needed a transfer, they arranged it with as short as 30 minutes notice and took care of arranging excursions for us. It is located in a little village that offered options for wine tastings and restaurants.

We highly recommend this location. They worked with us when we had travel issues in our departing city to ensure we still had our room. The room type was spacious and offered room for a family. They anticipated our needs and was very relaxing. Location is not near the main tourist area but you can arrange transportation. They have a private beach property and was quiet if you are looking for a low key area. Breakfast was great. I loved a quick sit down versus buffet. If you are an avid cat lover and heard about Greece with cats, this is one location you may come across them.
