The hotel's 150-year-old Secret Wine Cave and its long roster of celebrity guests have made it one of the island's most sought-after addresses.

History
Mystique is carved into the caldera cliffs of Oia on Santorini, its whitewashed, cave-style suites descending the volcanic rock high above the Aegean. The original cliffside structures date from around the 1970s and were reimagined through a comprehensive restoration that reopened the property as Mystique in 2007.
Developed by Kalia and Antonis Eliopoulos, who also created Santorini's Vedema resort, Mystique grew from roughly 18 cave-house suites to some 41 suites and villas. Now part of Marriott's Luxury Collection, it is known for its dramatic sunset setting, a 150-year-old Secret Wine Cave and a long roster of celebrity guests.
The setting
Mystique is an Oia hotel on the northeast side of Oia in Santorini. This is cave-suite country, not a beach strip. Walk the marble lane, skip the castle crush at peak sunset, and save Ammoudi Bay for grilled fish at water level after the day boats leave. 14-minute walk to village of Oia. 16 km from Santorini Airport.
