Mesaria is the Santorini of storybooks: bougainvillea-tumbled lanes, white churches with blue domes and neoclassical mansions that hark back to the island’s wine-trading past. Set inland in the centre of the island, Nous Santorini swaps sheer caldera drops for vineyard views and easier access around the island.

From here, you’re well placed to explore: head to Fira for clifftop sunsets and nightlife, or make your way to nearby wineries such as Santo Wines for tastings with mesmerising caldera panoramas. Quiet evenings can be spent wandering Mesaria’s traditional streets before returning to the hotel’s pool-lit calm.

Mesaria resort centre: approx. 600m
Nearest beach: approx. 5.2km
Fira (island capital): short drive or taxi ride
Local wineries and tastings: nearby, reachable by taxi or organised tour

Approx. transfer time from airport: 15 minutes

Mesaria, Santorini, Greece

Dining at Nous Santorini is as considered as the design. At rooftop Elio’s Restaurant, Mediterranean flavours meet Italian influences, with buffet and à la carte service for breakfast and elegant dinners under the stars. Down by the water, the Pool All Day Restaurant serves international, Greek and local dishes for leisurely lunches, snacks and relaxed dinners in a poolside setting.

Three bars keep you refreshed throughout the day:
• Elio’s Bar – a stylish cocktail bar on the terrace, ideal for aperitifs and after-dinner drinks
• Pool Bar – serving chilled drinks from noon into the evening by the main pool
• Vitamin Bar – wellness-focused smoothies, juices and light bites in a garden setting

A smart casual dress code may apply in the evening, especially at Elio’s. Reservations may be required for à la carte dining and some menu items or drinks can carry a supplement depending on your board basis and season. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The resort’s heart is its expansive main outdoor freshwater pool, one of the largest on the island, wrapped in sunbeds and shaded spots for long, lazy days. An additional adults-only outdoor freshwater pool is located by the spa – perfect for quieter swims and slow-burn afternoons with a book.

• Generous sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols
• Complimentary pool towels

The nearest beach is about 5.2km away; taxis and local transport or hire cars make it easy to dip into Santorini’s coastline while enjoying the tranquillity of Mesaria.
