Verdict
Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort

Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort

A resort built around a medieval village core in Megalochori, inland from the caldera.

The call

Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling with kids.

Independent, never pay-to-rankGraded for who you areVerified 2026-06-17How we decide

Why

  1. 01

    A different kind of Santorini luxury — set in the stone alleys of a 15th-century village in Megalochori rather than on the cliff.

    Our read
  2. 02

    More space, a real spa, a wine cave, and quiet; the trade is you don't wake up to the caldera view.

    Our read

Is it a fit?

Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

Villas, suites and rooms set among the stone lanes of the old village, generally more spacious than cliff caves, with multiple pools and a spa. Larger villa categories suit families and multigen groups.
