Welcome to Santorini, where azure Aegean waters embrace sunbathed cliffs, and the air carries the fragrance of wild thyme and sea salt. Situated in the peaceful village of Imerovigli, On The Rocks Hotel stands as the ultimate volcano view hotel in Santorini, perched on the edge of the caldera to offer unmatched views of the island’s volcanic splendor.
Unrivaled Views from On The Rocks Hotel
As you step onto the terrace of On The Rocks Hotel, the panoramic views of the Caldera will take your breath away. The hotel, carved directly into the cliffs of Santorini, blends traditional Cycladic architecture with luxurious modern comforts. Here, each morning greets you with a spectacular sunrise that enhances the dramatic landscape shaped by volcanic activity millions of years ago.
The Santorini Caldera: A Natural Wonder
Guests often wonder about the difference between sea view and Caldera view. The sea view offers broad, expansive vistas of the Aegean Sea, which are breathtaking in their own right. However, the Caldera view is uniquely mesmerizing—here you see the remnants of one of the most significant volcanic eruptions in history, which created the current geological amphitheater of Santorini.
Visiting Santorini’s Active Volcano
A visit to Santorini is incomplete without a trip to the active volcano located on Nea Kameni, a small uninhabited island in the center of the Caldera. From On The Rocks Hotel, you can easily book a guided tour that includes a boat ride to the island, a hike to the crater, and an opportunity to learn about the volcano’s history and geology. The walk is relatively easy, rewarding you with up-close views of sulfuric gases escaping from the earth—a testament to the living nature of this natural giant.
Bathing in Hot Springs
Near the volcano, you’ll find the famous hot springs of Santorini, another popular destination for our guests. The waters, warmed by geothermal energy, are said to have therapeutic properties. Tours from the hotel can combine visits to the volcano and the hot springs, offering a relaxing soak after your volcanic adventure.
Is it Safe to Swim Here?
Safety is always a concern when it comes to natural phenomena. Swimming in the Caldera is generally safe, and the hot springs are a must-try experience for those looking for relaxation.
Sunset Views with a Glass of Santorini Wine
Returning to On The Rocks Hotel after your adventures, you can relax on your private terrace with a glass of distinctive Santorini wine. The hotel’s strategic location offers a perfect vantage point for the legendary Santorini sunsets. Imagine the sky, painted in hues of orange and pink, as the sun dips below the horizon right in front of your eyes.
