Where to stay in Oia: the top of the village, the caldera rim or the edge of town – the right location for your 5-star hotel
Oia is small, and location mainly decides your view and how quiet it is. From the airport, the drive to your 5-star hotel in Oia takes about 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic, and Fira is about 15 minutes away.
Mystique Santorini · OiaThe top of the village: at the very top, where the marble path begins, you will find Canaves Oia Suites Santorini and Canaves Ena Santorini, with views over the caldera and the volcano and the village center on your doorstep. At Canaves Oia Suites Santorini an elevator takes you to almost every level, and at Canaves Ena Santorini you get by with very few steps – a real plus in Oia.
Andronis Arcadia Santorini · OiaThe main lane and the caldera rim: Katikies Santorini Pelagos House sits at the start of the pedestrian lane with its shops and restaurants, and Andronis Luxury Suites Santorini is on the same lane, about seven minutes' walk from the blue domes and the old castle.

The edge of town and Tholos: Andronis Arcadia Santorini sits on the lower edge of the village, not on the caldera rim, five minutes' walk from the main square and looking west over the Aegean to the sunset. For complete peace, stay at Domes Novos Santorini Oia in Tholos on the northwest coast, just outside, with a shuttle into the village. Our recommendation for families.
Our travel advisors' insider tip
Below the village lies the small bay of Ammoudi, about 300 steps down, with fish tavernas right by the water. Walk down in the early evening and take a taxi back up. If you stay at one of the luxury hotels in Oia on the rim, you will see the sunset from your own terrace anyway, and have the lanes almost to yourself in the morning.

When it is loveliest: the luxury hotels in Oia open for the season, roughly from spring to fall; Canaves Oia Suites Santorini from about May to October, Domes Novos Santorini Oia from about late March to late October. In early summer and September the light is clear and the sea warm, and in July and August Oia is full of life. Book early for the summer months and for suites facing west, especially if you have a particular 5-star hotel in Oia in mind.
How long to stay: for a 5-star hotel in Oia we recommend three to four nights: enough for evenings on the rim, a boat trip into the caldera and a day at the island's wineries.
