Overview

 
Perched in peaceful Tholos just outside Oia, Domes Novos Santorini is a contemporary, low-rise retreat where Cycladic minimalism meets polished resort lux. Every suite and bungalow comes with its own private pool, the spa is made for slow days, and sunset views from the rooftop restaurant bring that cinematic Santorini glow without the Oia crowds. With thoughtful touches for both couples and families, it’s a smart choice for honeymoons, special-occasion escapes and style-conscious travellers who still want space to breathe.

All-white curves, low-slung stone walls and private pools that seem to melt into the landscape: Domes Novos Santorini was designed for slow mornings and long, golden-hour evenings. Relax at the main infinity-style pool, head to the rooftop for Greek flavours under the stars, or retreat to your own Zen Pool for uninterrupted calm – with Oia’s famous sunsets just a short complimentary shuttle ride away. For couples seeking Santorini’s drama without staying right in the caldera crowds, Domes Novos Santorini delivers that sweet spot of tranquillity and access. It’s set in serene Tholos, about 1.3km from Oia, with a complimentary daily shuttle, and roughly 1 hour 10 minutes from Santorini (JTR) airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Oia, Santorini, Greece

Domes Novos Santorini sits in Tholos, a peaceful pocket on the outskirts of Oia. You’re close enough to dip into the island’s most iconic village – with its marble lanes, boutiques and blue-domed churches – yet far enough away to avoid the peak-time bustle.

Spend the day drifting between your private pool and the main sun terrace, then hop on the complimentary daily shuttle to Oia for caldera views, sunset cocktails and dinner. For beach time, Monolithos’ long sandy shoreline and Santorini’s famous Red Beach are both within day-trip distance.

  • Oia resort centre 1.3km
  • Monolithos Beach 15.4km
  • Santorini’s Red Beach 19.3km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 10 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The resort is designed as a series of pool-framed terraces, with water never far from view.

Main outdoor pool
A large heated freshwater pool with a dedicated sunbathing terrace and plenty of loungers forms the heart of the hotel. The vibe is relaxed, inflatables and water toys are permitted, and the pool is usually heated from early April to mid-May – ideal for shoulder-season dips.

Children’s pool
Younger guests have their own heated freshwater children’s pool, also typically warmed from 01 April to 15 May. It sits close to the main pool so families can stay together.

Indoor spa pool
Inside the spa you’ll find a serene, heated indoor pool for adults only, generally available from April to the end of October – perfect for cooler evenings or post-treatment unwinding.

While Domes Novos Santorini doesn’t sit directly on a beach, you’re within easy reach of the island’s coastline by taxi or hire car, with Monolithos and Red Beach both popular options for a day out.

The spa is a calming sanctuary featuring a sauna, steam room and treatment rooms. A menu of massages and beauty rituals (charges apply; minimum age 16) draws on both contemporary techniques and local ingredients. The indoor pool completes the cocooning feel.

Local area tips
• Stroll Oia’s marble walkway for boutiques, galleries and sunset-view cafés – it does get busy, so visit early morning or just after sunset for calmer moments.
• Keep an eye out for the traditional cave houses once built for ship crews; these historic homes contrast with the mansions of the former ship owners.
• Build in at least one beach day – Monolithos is good for a longer sandy stretch, while Red Beach offers that classic dramatic volcanic backdrop (access paths can be uneven).

FAQs
Is Domes Novos Santorini adults-only?
No. Domes Novos Santorini is a luxury retreat that also welcomes families. There is a children’s pool, kids’ menus in both restaurants and a children’s club for ages 4–12 years. That said, the low-rise layout and private pools mean it still feels very peaceful for couples and honeymooners.
How far is Domes Novos Santorini from Oia?
The hotel is located in Tholos, approximately 1.3km from Oia resort centre. A complimentary daily shuttle bus makes it easy to reach Oia’s marble streets, viewpoints and restaurants without needing a hire car or taxi every time.
Do all rooms at Domes Novos Santorini really have a private pool?
Yes. One of the resort’s signature features is that every room, suite and bungalow includes its own private Zen Pool, along with a furnished terrace. Categories vary mainly by size, view and any additional Haute Living benefits, rather than whether you get a pool.
What family facilities are there at Domes Novos Santorini?
Families benefit from a heated children’s pool, a children’s club (4–12yrs, typically 10:00–18:00) offering games, crafts, water fun, movie nights and more, plus highchairs and children’s menus/buffet sections in both restaurants. Selected room types, such as the Senses Family Bungalow with Sea View and Zen Pool, are configured for up to five guests.
What is included with the Haute Living Selection?
The Haute Living Selection, available with select room types such as the Anesis Bungalow with Zen Pool and certain villas, usually includes elevated touches such as a 30-minute spa treatment per person per stay, VIP champagne check-in experience, upgraded welcome and bath amenities, and a daily signature poolside cocktail. For some seasons and minimum stays, one à la carte meal per stay at Maitr & Margarita may also be included. Exact inclusions can vary by travel date and offer; we’ll confirm the latest details at the time of booking.
How long is the transfer from Santorini Airport (JTR)?
The transfer from Santorini (JTR) Airport to Domes Novos Santorini is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes by road, depending on traffic and any other stops en route. Private transfers are usually quicker and more direct.
Is there a dress code for the restaurants?
Yes, a relaxed smart-casual dress code applies in the restaurants and the hotel asks that beachwear is not worn at mealtimes. For the rooftop restaurant in particular, we recommend resort-casual attire suitable for an elegant evening setting.
