Map & location
Monolithos, Santorini, Greece
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.
- Beach 20m (black-sand, with facilities)
- tavernas and local shops short walk
- Kamari Beach easy taxi/bus ride
- Fira (island capital) around 10 minutes’ drive
- Approx. transfer time from airport 15 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
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.

More info
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.
