Apanemo Hotel
Private plunge pool on your balcony, caldera stretching out ahead. Apanemo delivers the classic Santorini moment.
There's a particular kind of quiet that arrives when you lower yourself into a private plunge pool at dusk with the caldera going pink in front of you. That's what Apanemo Hotel is selling, and the photos show it plainly: a lit pool on a whitewashed terrace, two sunloungers, the volcanic ridge of Santorini's caldera filling the horizon. No neighbours, no noise. Just water and that view.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room plunge pool in Santorini, Apanemo has several room types to consider. The Junior Suite, Family Studio, and one-bedroom Villa each come with a private pool on the balcony, and all three sit about 100 metres from the main building, which gives them a pleasingly separate, villa-like feel. The Superior Caldera View room offers a jetted tub instead. One thing worth knowing: that 100-metre walk to the main building means a little more effort if you want breakfast or a drink at the bar.
Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10, which, for Santorini, is saying something.
