Close your eyes and imagine the most beautiful place on earth. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? Then, open them and find yourself in a place so spectacular, so tranquil, so breathtaking that it defies even your imagination. This is where you are: Mystique, on the Greek Island Santorini.
Built into a cliff, Mystique’s dazzling views of the sea, combined with the Aegean Caldera and Volcano, are sensational. Situated on the northern tip of Santorini, Mystique is in a section called Oia, which boasts charming cafes and shops and is known as the destination when searching for the ultimate sunset. You can experience this from the hotel’s private beach or infinity-edge pool while taking advantage of all the amenities this luxurious hotel has to offer.
For example, there is the Secret Wine Cave, which is as sumptuous and exclusive as it sounds, featuring wide selections of rare wines and available for private candlelit dinners. That’s one way to experience the culinary cuisine, the other is at the open-air, hotel-guests-only Charisma Restaurant, which uses the freshest local ingredients and offers a fusion of traditional and modern cuisine.
Then there is the Spa, which promotes well-being treatments that promise to rejuvenate and renew your body, your mind and your soul. Then, after you’ve been transformed you’ll delight in the relaxation area, with stunning views and a freshly prepared signature drink. This is the true meaning of relaxation.
In keeping with the natural beauty of the surroundings, the guest rooms offer a cave-like intimacy, with whitewashed walls and unique patterns carved in, using furnishings made from natural materials and smooth concrete floors for a minimalist, luxurious look and feel.
So close your eyes. And imagine an exclusive, breathtaking experience. And then make your plans, to discover Mystique.
