Small and friendly with just 23 suites split across five low-rise blocks and two floors, Scorpios Beach Resort keeps things intimate and relaxed.

Minimum guest age: 14 years (adults-focused atmosphere)

Scorpios Beach Resort sits in the laid-back resort of Monolithos, on Santorini’s east coast. Life here orbits the long, volcanic black-sand beach and its local tavernas, rather than late-night bars, so the feel is low-key and authentically Greek.

You’re close to several vineyards for island-grown reds, rosés and crisp whites, while Kamari’s livelier promenade and the caldera views of Fira are just a short drive away. It’s a smart pick if you want easy beach days and peaceful nights, with all of Santorini still within reach.

Monolithos, Santorini, Greece

Wake up to a relaxed buffet-style breakfast before drifting out to the pool. The hotel’s pool bar-restaurant keeps things casual with snacks and light dishes available throughout the day, so you never need to stray far from your lounger.

In the evenings, Bed & Breakfast gives you the flexibility to wander to nearby seafront tavernas or head into Kamari or Fira for sunset cocktails and dinner with a caldera backdrop.

A smart casual dress code may apply at dinner. Restaurant and bar opening times, menus, and any reservation or supplement requirements can vary by season.

The central freshwater pool is the social heart of the resort – a compact, calm space lined with sunloungers and parasols, ideal for a mid-morning dip or an afternoon with a book. Fresh pool towels are provided, so you can travel lighter.

Step outside and you’re almost immediately on Monolithos’ long, dark-sand beach, where the volcanic backdrop and Aegean views create a striking contrast. Facilities on the beach include sunbeds, parasols and low-key cafés, perfect for unhurried days hopping between sea and shore.

Santorini uses the Euro (€) and the official language is Greek, though English is widely spoken in resorts. The time difference from the UK is typically +2 hours, and average flight time is around 4 hours from UK airports.

Monolithos itself is a quieter pocket of the island, loved for its long beach and local feel. Nearby Kamari and Fira offer more in the way of nightlife, shopping and caldera views, so many guests mix slow days here with evenings out elsewhere.

Hotel details such as facilities, opening times and services are based on the latest supplier information and may change seasonally. For entry rules and health guidance see the UK FCDO Spain advice.
