NOŪS Santorini A Unique Concept

follows the path of traditional architecture, resembling the traditional settlements of the island. Its suites and rooms are nestled in Santorini’s natural architecture. All the materials, styles, and textures found within the resort have existed in Santorini for centuries.

It is the island’s unique history that has shaped NOŪS. The world-famous murals found in the archaeological site of Akrotiri define the colour palette of the resort. Earthy, terracotta shades and vibrant warm colours are used in all the rooms and communal areas. The traditional ‘kouloura’ – the sui generis way of knitting the vines that is typical on the island – has become an interesting decoration feature in a far more modern way.

NOŪS is all about originality. An extensive collection of works of Art by 12 contemporary Greek artists is found in all its rooms and communal areas. The regenerative but also destructive nature of volcanoes is the inspiration behind the collection, an invisible thread that connects the history of Santorini with NOŪS. At the same time, a series of modern design furniture (by designers such as Doshi & Levien, Konstantin Grcic, Faye Toogood etc.) are located in all areas. Their timeless character complements the naturally minimalist style of the Aegean Sea, creating a modern temple of well-being.

There are 119 rooms at the resort, most of which have private pools. Spaciousness is a key feature in all accommodation types. Every room, bungalow and suite are designed to make guests feel comfortable. Each, separate “neighbourhood” of given to landscape architecture. It is designed so that most rooms have their own large private gardens, but also it aims at creating green, cool oasis for everyone.

The food offerings are based on top quality, local produce. The fresh ingredients, come from both Santorini and the rest of Greece. Their rich flavours, together with the cooking techniques of the local community, become a true inspiration for the chefs of NOŪS.

Acknowledging the rising global interest for the Santorini vineyard, the resort gives its guests the opportunity to get acquainted with the local wine produced by taking part in wine tastings that are held in the special Wine Cellar area.

There is an exceptional spa with 5 treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam bath, cold tank, gym, and a special outdoor yoga area. The team of highly trained therapists guides the guests of NOŪS through a personal journey of wellness. With the majestic balance between man and nature that has shaped Santorini as a starting point, they suggest a series of personalized treatments for body and mind that are available exclusively at the resort. Most of them are based on raw materials which are local to Santorini, such as the special grape varieties of the island. In addition, in the spa area, guests will find the Vitamin Bar, a healthy spot where they can try fresh salads and juices, cereal bars, smoothies and of course traditional products of Santorini.
