New Greek haven: OMMA in Santorini is open

Omma Santorini resort 5

There’s this hotel in Santorini Greece, OMMA, that’s worth a visit, if not for anything else, its pool alone! But why limit yourself, right? The hotel is up there with one of the best, offering views, views, views; quality beach access; all the pool time you need and privacy complete with luxuriousness that money can indeed buy you. Complete with views of the Aegean Sea from the back and Caldera views from the front, whilst being surrounded by lush greenery, OMMA is all about giving you the opportunity to take it all in on a sleek double sun lounger with a cool cocktail in hand. But if relaxation’s not your thing and food’s what does it, they’re all about local Santorini and Greek ingredients that are whipped into an arty Mediterranean bliss by Dimitris Stamoudis. Traditional becomes modern with OMMA’s grilled octopus with fava, shi drum with green fricassee and signature ekmek kataifi (cream of pistachios with sour cherry and kaimaki ice cream).  Even the rooms are along the same vibe, offering cave-like existences with the quintessential whitewash against the contrast of striking blues that we all know and love about the Greek aesthetic.
