Opened in April 2024, Santo Mine is a luxury resort located in the picturesque village of Oia on the island of Santoríni, surrounded by the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Pnoé Spa, housed within the property, provides a tranquil retreat with treatments and panoramic views ideal for enjoying Santoríni’s famed sunsets.
The Santo Collection, a group of sustainable luxury properties in Oia, expanded this year with Santo Mine Oia Suites, a 37-suite resort perched above the caldera, and The Villas by Santo Collection, two independent four-bedroom villas set in a secluded, private location.

Carved into the cliffs above Ammoudi Bay on the site of a former stone mine, Santo Mine marries rugged natural surroundings with refined design. Each of the 37 suites features a private pool or Jacuzzi and direct sunset views. The historic village of Oia is within easy walking distance, and the resort maintains an adults-friendly atmosphere with a minimum guest age of 12.
Alme Restaurant serves dinner with a focus on fresh regional produce. Menu highlights include calamari seasoned with wild Cretan oregano and an assortment of locally sourced fish dishes prepared with ingredients from top producers on Crete and neighboring Aegean islands.

Rhoē Wine Bar & More, located by the main pool, welcomes guests from sunrise to sunset with Greek small plates and seasonal fare that often features produce from Santo Mine’s own herb garden. For intimate evenings, the resort arranges private candlelit dining experiences served in the privacy of guest suites.
The property supports wellness and active lifestyles with the Somma Outdoor Gym and access to dedicated spaces for mindfulness and movement classes at the sister property, Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas. Offerings include yoga, aerial yoga, aqua-yoga, Pilates and aqua-Pilates. Pnoé Spa brings treatments inspired by Comfort Zone, emphasizing innovative, high-quality and sustainable skincare and wellness protocols.

The Villas by Santo Collection include two four-bedroom residences—the Icon Pool Villa with Sunset & Sea View and the Lush Pool Villa with Sunset & Sea View—each designed to deliver privacy, refined comfort and bespoke services for families or groups seeking an exclusive Santoríni escape.
