Andronis hotels
Caldera cave suites and private pools turn volcanic cliffs into places to linger above water.
Andronis began with thirteen cave suites on Santorini’s caldera cliffs and grew into a family-owned collection with water at the heart of the stay. Founded by Miltiadis Andronis in Oia, its hotels pair the drama of the Cycladic landscape with private plunge pools, infinity edges, and hot tubs.

History
Miltiadis Andronis brought his eye for style into hospitality through Santorini’s cave suites and caldera views. Whitewashed curves, cliff-cut rooms where the setting allows, and private water features became recurring parts of the collection. The founder remained closely involved as the hotels grew, with an announced Tuscan project pointing toward a new chapter beyond the Greek islands.
