Overview

 
Sitting high above the Aegean on the edge of Santorini’s iconic caldera, The Majestic Hotel pairs widescreen volcano views with a calm, contemporary boutique feel. Watch the sky blaze pink and amber from the stylish sunset lounge, drift between two shimmering pools, then wander down into Fira’s whitewashed lanes in under 15 minutes. With modern rooms, attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s a polished base for exploring one of Greece’s most photogenic islands.

Expect that “this is why we came to Santorini” feeling the moment you arrive. The Majestic Hotel faces straight onto the caldera, so your backdrop is all big skies, cobalt sea and the silhouette of the volcano. A pair of lagoon-style pools, cool white architecture and plenty of loungers set the tone for easy-going days, while in the evening the rooftop Majestic Sunset Lounge becomes the place for golden-hour cocktails and unfiltered views of the famous Fira sunsets. For couples and friends seeking Greece’s most celebrated views with boutique comfort, The Majestic Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 35 minutes from Santorini (JTR) airport and a short walk from Fira’s restaurants and bars. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Fira, Santorini, Greece

The Majestic Hotel occupies a privileged position on the caldera side of Fira, perfectly placed for soaking up Santorini’s most dramatic scenery. From the hotel’s terraces you look straight across the volcanic crater to the Aegean, while the whitewashed maze of Fira’s old town lies just uphill.

By day, wander into town for boutiques, cafés and blue-domed chapels, or take a bus or taxi down to Kamari’s black-sand beach. As the sun dips, you’re already in one of the island’s prime spots to watch the sky ignite in shades of peach and crimson over the caldera – with a cocktail in hand.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 35 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s two outdoor freshwater pools are the social heart of the property. Both are framed by spacious sun terraces with loungers and parasols, and dotted with whirlpool sections for lazy, bubble-filled soaks with a view.

One of the pools is heated during cooler periods in October (see opening dates), making shoulder-season dips more tempting. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can travel light.

While The Majestic Hotel isn’t directly on a beach – you’re on the caldera rim here – getting to the sand is straightforward. Kamari’s black-sand beach is around 8km away, and there are regular buses and taxis from nearby Fira.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness fans are well looked after. The compact but well-equipped air-conditioned gym features cardio machines, a free-weights area, stretching zone and fixed strength equipment. After your workout, unwind in the sauna and steam room (minimum age 16).

For extra pampering, beauty treatments and massages are available (charges apply; minimum age 16), ideal after a day exploring Santorini’s volcanic trails.

Around the hotel you’ll find:
• Children’s playground with swings (age/height restrictions may apply)
• Concierge and reception with luggage storage
• Mobility scooter hire on request (local charge)

Facilities and operating times are based on previous seasons and may vary; some services are weather- or occupancy-dependent.
