Overview

 
Set directly on Perissa’s iconic black-sand beach, Aqua Blue Hotel blends classic whitewashed Cycladic architecture with cool, contemporary interiors. Wrapped around two serene pools and a sun-drenched terrace, this boutique-style retreat feels at once relaxed and refined. Expect excellent, attentive service, family-friendly room options, a small spa and gym, and a beach-facing restaurant and pool bar – all within strolling distance of Perissa’s laid-back tavernas and bars.

Sun-bleached walkways, sugar-cube buildings and a sweep of inky volcanic sand: Aqua Blue Hotel captures the quintessential Santorini look with a toes-in-the-sand location. Two freshwater pools fringe the terrace, while the Aegean shimmers just beyond the gate. Interiors are all white, grey and soft blue, giving the whole place a calm, contemporary glow. For couples and families who want Santorini’s charm without the crowds of the caldera, Aqua Blue Hotel is a standout choice. It sits right on Perissa’s Blue Flag black-sand beach and around 750m from the resort’s easy-going bars and tavernas. It’s approximately 1 hour 10 minutes from Santorini (JTR) airport by road.

Map & location


Perissa, Santorini, Greece

Aqua Blue Hotel has a prime spot on Perissa’s long, dark volcanic strand – one of Santorini’s most famous beaches. From the pool terrace you’re just steps from the shingle-and-sand shoreline and crystal-clear Aegean waters.

Perissa itself is laid-back and low-rise, with boho beach bars, traditional tavernas and a pretty church with blue domes. It’s a great base if you prefer easy-going days on the beach, with the option to head to Fira or Oia by bus, taxi or excursion for caldera views and sunset shots.

  • Beach beachfront (direct access)

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 10 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of Aqua Blue Hotel is its elegant pool terrace, edged by whitewashed buildings and mountain views. There are two freshwater outdoor pools, one featuring a whirlpool area, with ample sunbeds and parasols arranged around them. A separate children’s pool gives younger guests their own space to splash. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can pack light.

Beyond the gate, Perissa’s black-sand and shingle beach stretches for around 7km. Sunloungers and umbrellas line the shore and the clear waters make for refreshing swims; the dark volcanic sand can get hot underfoot in high summer, so beach shoes are a good idea.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellbeing is well covered, with a compact but well-equipped, air-conditioned gym offering cardio machines, free weights and strength equipment (typically open 09:00–21:00; minimum age 16). After a workout or a day on the beach, you can unwind in the spa with massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 16, opening hours around 10:00–18:00).

Families are catered for with a children’s pool and highchairs in the restaurant. Practical touches include a 24-hour reception area, concierge-style support and luggage storage. Selected equipment such as a kettle or a motorised mobility scooter can be hired on request (local charges may apply).
