The Luxury CollectionMediterranean
Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Santorini | Greece
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
Mystique is a masterclass in understated Cycladic luxury, ideal for couples and romantics who value privacy and serene, organic design over the high-energy crowds of central Oia. Those with limited mobility should proceed with caution due to the resort's steep, multi-level layout and numerous stairs carved into the cliffside. The signature experience worth the journey is an evening wine tasting in the 150-year-old Secret Wine Cave, where the island's volcanic history is served by the glass.
