Sun Rocks Santorini, Firostefani, Santorini, Greece
Carved into the volcanic cliff in the village of Firostefani, and spread over several levels, this romantic couples' hideaway (and popular wedding venue) will take your breath away with its fairytale features like the picture-perfect pool atop the property, and the 18 chic Cycladic cave-like dwellings with their dramatic vaulted ceilings, alabaster walls and polished concrete floors.
Most open out to generous verandas, and some enjoy a hot tub or plunge pool too. Feast on Elea's outstanding poolside delights and impossibly romantic dining experiences (with just four tables, booking is essential); or take the paved cliff path to cosmopolitan capital Fira.
