Aside from spare splashes of colour, luxury resort Chromata’s minimalist style invites the bright blues of Santorini’s sky and sea to diffuse across its walls like watercolour paint on a blank canvas. However, as delightfully mod and monochrome cave-style rooms are, top billing goes to the hotel’s magnificent setting at the highest point of the caldera. The infinity pool hovering above the Aegean is glorious, staff fulfil requests from the ordinary to outlandish, and the food is superb; but really, the view’s the star here.

  

Walk down a narrow street from Imerovigli’s main square and there’s Katikies Chromata lounging over the Cliffside, at the highest point of the caldera rim. It’s snuggled up to Smith stay Iconic Santorini, and capital Thira is a five-minute drive away.
