Istoria Hotel is honored to be among the first hotels in Greece to receive a One MICHELIN Key from the prestigious MICHELIN Guide. This newly launched distinction highlights hotels offering truly exceptional stays—properties selected for their remarkable design, service, and singular sense of place. Awarded to just 60 hotels across the country, the MICHELIN Key is poised to become the global benchmark for hospitality excellence. As a proud member of Design Hotels and part of Empiria Group, Istoria is delighted to be recognized for its enduring commitment to thoughtful luxury and meaningful guest experience.

Rooted in the volcanic sands of Santorini’s untamed east coast of Perivolos beach, Istoria is a living narrative of place, where bespoke design and elemental experiences intertwine. Whether through its tactile architecture or its immersive philosophy, this idyllic beachfront retreat invites guests to connect deeply with the land, the sea, and the stories that endure.

Chosen specifically to be outside the hustle and bustle of the main towns, this is the Santorini that is not taken over by the visiting hordes and the tourist trade, but the real deal: your own paradise, with a local affinity and authenticity that is rarely found. This recognition from the MICHELIN Guide affirms Istoria’s mission to offer more than a stay: a journey to create your own stories and take back home.
