Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini, Monolithos, Aegean Islands, Greece

Dawn skims the black sands of Monolithos and turns the Aegean a soft pewter.

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini sits right on the shore at Agia Paraskevi, where palm-framed pools meet a low, whitewashed resort built for sun-drenched days and music-tinted nights.

Steps from the sea and about 5 minutes from Santorini Airport (JTR), it’s the easy, beachy side of the island—no cliffs, just salt air, wide skies, and that Nikki Beach rhythm.

What Makes It Special

• Prime beachfront on Monolithos/Agia Paraskevi with loungers and daybeds.
• Pool scene + swim-up bar and a restaurant & beach club with guest DJs and live musicians.
• Spa & wellness (steam room, treatments, yoga/fitness classes)
• Suites with jetted tubs or private pools for after-hours soaking.
• Opened in 2019—contemporary look, clean lines, beach-club spirit.

A Day at Nikki Beach Santorini

Morning

Barefoot to the beach; the sand is cool, the sea glass-clear. Order Greek coffee and a fruit plate while fishing boats stitch the horizon.

Afternoon

Slide into the swim-up bar for a long, icy drink; beats float across the pool and the breeze smells of salt and sunscreen. Book a spa hour—citrus oils, a quiet steam—then wander back to your lounger for sushi or a crisp salad delivered to your daybed.

Evening

Sunset blushes the east coast; the music lifts. Share grilled fish and Santorini capers at the restaurant & beach club before an unhurried walk along the shore.

Night

Back in your suite, the jetted tub/private pool warms the cool air. You can still hear the sea, steady as a metronome.

Insider Tips for Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini

• Best for couples, groups, and younger travelers who want a social, Ibiza-like vibe.
• Sea-view rooms with jacuzzis or private pools are the most praised.
• Book pool beds in advance (especially Fridays and weekends). Towels are provided, and there’s always parking available, though it can fill on event days..
• Bottle service offers better value than ordering individual cocktails or champagne.
• Breakfast buffet is well-rated.
• Reserve early — pool beds and rooms sell out fast in July–August. Visit in shoulder months (May, September) for lower crowds and milder weather.
