On the slopes of the volcanic Cycladic island of Santorini, overlooking the Aegean Sea, lies the stunning Andronis Concept wellness hotel. A timeless place, particularly suited to romantic health getaways. Certainly one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, with multiple awards to its credit.
A setting worthy of mythological Greece
Could Santorini be the origin of the Greek myth of Atlantis? Historians are still divided, but this long-held assumption has certainly played a part in the mythological aura that emanates from these places, between towering cliffs, immaculate hilltop villages and ancient ruins.
What is certain is that the Santorini archipelago is the result of the destruction of an ancient island by a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC.

The resort is located in Imerovigli, on the wildest and most romantic part of the archipelago. An ideal setting for sharing special moments with your loved one, for an unforgettable wedding proposal or honeymoon, for example… all while looking after your figure.
Private pools with breathtaking views
What makes Andronis Concept a truly different hotel is first and foremost the quality of the different accommodation options. Varying in size from a single room to a four-bedroom villa with butler, whatever your choice, you’re sure to enjoy :
– A breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea, volcanic cliffs and sunset.
– A private infinity pool that seems to flow into the sea.
Raw refinement
Whether slate or sandstone, waxed concrete is the material most visible from the outside. This gives the whole an antique yet futuristic cachet that blends perfectly with the austere beauty of the island.
In all the resort’s suites and villas, you’ll find simple wooden floors and furnishings, whitewashed walls and rare decorative objects of exquisite taste. There’s no need to overdo it when your daily backdrop is a sublime panorama and one of the world’s most mythical seas.
A spa between sea and sky
At the Kallos Spa, Andronis Concept guests can enjoy beauty and wellness treatments straddling Eastern and Western traditions. Two large swimming pools and a steam room provide permanent relaxation areas, while the spa team offers tailor-made treatments as part of themed programs.
After carrying out a diagnosis using a questionnaire or hair analysis, the wellness professionals on the spa team propose the program best suited to restoring the patient’s energy balance. They can choose from the following themes:
– Sleep: restorative sleep thanks to deep massages, facials, yoga sessions, aromatherapy, ayurvedic and adaptogenic herbal wraps…
– Hormones: aromatic, Thai or holistic massages, as well as green light treatments, Himalayan salt scrubs and lymphatic drainage, are all designed to combat the side effects of hormonal imbalance caused by stress, pollution and poor lifestyle habits.
– Anti-stress: To combat the effects of chronic stress, treatments designed to deeply soothe body and mind: precious facials with gold, incense or sea buckthorn oil, warm herbal massages, rose and aloe vera wraps, four-hand massages, red LED facials, Tibetan rituals…
Finally, those who want to experience Santorini to the full can opt for the Andronis Signature treatment: grapes and honey from the island are combined in this comprehensive antioxidant and antibacterial treatment.

Yoga at sunset
Yoga has a special place at Andronis Concept, and not just for its famous sunset sessions.
In private or group classes, you can practice yoga in hata, vinyasa or yin mode, or enjoy an astonishing session of aerial yoga, practiced in a silk hammock. At the end of the session, you can even enjoy a post-yoga air massage.
At Poseidon’s table
At the Throubi restaurant, named after an aromatic Greek herb, chef Pavlos Kiriakis and nutritionist Margarita Gavalala join forces to create gourmet, local and balanced cuisine.
Comfortably seated on the terrace, you can enjoy the panorama while tasting the duo’s creations:
As an appetizer or in detox mode, you can choose between octopus with capers and broad beans, white eggplant with sardines, or tuna tartare. For the main course, sea bream, catch of the day, orzo pasta, beef or chicken fillet with quinoa and avocado will satisfy every appetite.
A romantic family resort
Although the location is particularly suited to lovers and romantic getaways, children are especially welcome at Andronis Concept. Special treatments are reserved for them at the spa, they are entitled to their own yoga sessions, and can even learn to cook in workshops specially designed for them.
And let’s not forget the tennis lessons and the many services dedicated to the youngest guests, including the much-appreciated night care service that allows parents to fully immerse themselves in Santorini’s wildly romantic atmosphere.
