Ikies Traditional Houses

Ikies Traditional Houses is a unique boutique hotel. Its small size, exceptional location, traditional design, charming range of luxury accommodation and professional operation result in a rare blend of intimate and personalised service offered against a setting of unique physical beauty.

Located at the edge of the picturesque village of Oia in the northern part of Santorini Island and with commanding views over it, into the caldera and of the surrounding Cycladic islands, our guests at Ikies quickly tune themselves into the complete tranquillity of the romantic village.

With only a handful of rooms, service at Ikies is intimate, personalised, but also discreet. From the signature breakfast served on your personal terrace to the afternoon turndown service while you sip a sundowner, our staff's attention to your every need and desire will make you feel pampered and relaxed.

Ikies' staff will ensure that everything is taken care of for you: travel arrangements to and from Santorini Island, organising sightseeing, scuba-diving, or sailing excursions, special honeymoon or anniversary services packages, transportation arrangements, restaurant recommendations, and reservations around Oia and Santorini.

For our guests who decide to relax "at home" on their personal terrace and take in the healing Mediterranean sun, we offer a light fare menu with local ingredients and simple Greek recipes, as well as thirst-quenching beverages and dizzying sparkling wines and cocktails.

Situated at the entrance of the village of Oia, Ikies is a boutique hotel with spacious terraces and private Jacuzzis nestled in nooks and corners that offer unique views towards the caldera and the village of Oia. The end of each day oozes romance while the Aegean sky changes from a pristine turquoise to a medley of pink and orange hues – a lasting image to be savoured from a honeymoon vacation on Santorini island.

The hotel's careful ongoing renovation has resulted in a cosy balance between traditional architecture, modern facilities and luxury amenities. The romantic suites at Ikies are carved out of pumice into the cliffs of the caldera and boast postcard-perfect, white-washed roofs. Yet, each house is equipped with air conditioning, wireless internet, an iPod/iPhone docking station, satellite TV, and a direct-dial telephone line. In addition, most houses feature a private outdoor temperature-controlled Jacuzzi with views of Oia, and certain suites also offer a relaxing steam room.

The IKIES team believes in offering honest and heartfelt hospitality, extending genuine warmth to all our guests. We believe in ensuring that your clients’ experience in Santorini and Greece is a memorable one, and to the extent that we can control it, a hassle-free one. We want them to be inspired by the uniqueness of Santorini and to relax completely on their “once-in-a-lifetime” vacation or honeymoon.

IKIES is set apart by a truly unique location that offers breathtaking views of the caldera, the village of Oia, and the sunset. The area also guarantees the fewest distractions possible compared to other regions of the town. Our spacious terraces are ideal for soaking up the sun and letting the day slip by with a book in one’s hand. The suites at IKIES offer the perfect setting for a romantic escape, featuring private outdoor hot tubs and luxurious king-size beds.

Oia is by far the most picturesque village on the island, offering stunning views of the caldera, the volcano, other villages on Santorini, and, of course, the fantastic sunset. Wandering around and getting lost in the maze-like alleys of the village is a must during one’s stay on the island. It is probably the best way to find all the lovely little shops with authentic artefacts, stylish clothes and mementoes to take back home.

The restaurants in Oia offer a diverse choice, ranging from delicious hand-wrapped souvlaki to authentic Greek tavernas and from upscale French cuisine to fresh seafood restaurants. Above all, it is the atmosphere in Oia that one experiences during their stay, which is hard to convey: a relaxing and idyllic feeling while gazing at the black caldera cliffs and the deep blue sea below from a white-washed abode.

We are a young, enthusiastic and dependable team that loves pampering our guests. We are here to ensure that your clients’ vacation is a dream come true!
