Caldera cave suites strung along Oia and Imerovigli
Santorini has 12 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. Andronis Arcadia leads on prestige score at 5.20 out of 10, followed by Bellonias Villas and Canaves Sunday. Of those, 11 hold MICHELIN Keys, 1 hold a Forbes Five Star rating.
Santorini's ranked hotels, 11 of them holding MICHELIN Keys and one carrying a Forbes Five Star rating, follow the caldera rim rather than the island's roads. Andronis Arcadia, Canaves Sunday and two Katikies houses, Gea and Pelagos, occupy Oia at the northern tip, where whitewashed vaults are cut into volcanic rock and terraces step down the cliff face.
Grace Hotel takes the ridge at Imerovigli with a longer view south, Katikies Garden sits inland in Fira, and Bellonias Villas and Istoria Hotel move away from the rim to the dark sand of Kamari and Perissa on the southeast coast.

Oia and Imerovigli hold the cliffside cave suites and the sunset frontage, reached by steep stairs and busy through the summer; Fira is the practical base with the island's transport and bars; Kamari and Perissa on the beaches are flatter and better suited to families.
Late April to early June and September into October bring warm sea and thinner cruise traffic; August is the island's peak and the meltemi wind can be strong, and many caldera properties close from November to March.

Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
