Mystique, a jewel located in Oia, the most beautiful town on the island of Santorini. After likely taking several planes, you will land on a small, very touristy island that is said to offer the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Flee the hustle and bustle of the first towns you pass through. After a few minutes by car, entrust your luggage to the bellhop at Mystique, who will undoubtedly carry it down the cliff much better than you will; let yourself be carried away.

It's worth noting that the Mystique Hotel's sole villa is undoubtedly the one to choose if you have the opportunity. Located a bit apart from the rest of the hotel, with no overlooking views, it opens directly onto the water and the caldera. You'll feel like you're alone in the world in a truly idyllic setting. The villa features a bathtub with a jacuzzi and an outdoor jacuzzi, allowing you to stay in your room if you wish to relax in the water. An infinity pool is also available for hotel guests, offering a superb sea view.
