Sandblu, Kamari, Greece

At sunrise the cliffs blush and Kamari’s black-sand beach drinks in the first light.

Sandblu spreads 61 rooms and suites along Santorini’s coastal promenade, a boutique resort where whitewashed lines meet basalt stone and salt air.

Breakfast hums with the clink of coffee cups and the sea just across the lane; nights glow with lanterns, lazy cocktails, and the hush of small waves.

What Makes It Special

• Prime Kamari setting steps from the black-sand shore with serviced loungers
• Caldera-free, seaside calm—east-facing sunrises and swimmable waters
• Pool courtyard with cushioned daybeds, palms, and a breeze-cooled bar
• Bright Mediterranean dining (grilled day-catch, Cycladic salads, iced coffees that actually cool you)
• Boutique scale (61 keys) for warm, attentive service without the bustle of Oia or Fira

A Day at Sandblu

Morning

Bare feet on cool tiles; the air smells of coffee and sea salt. On your plate: thick yogurt with thyme honey, warm koulouri, tomatoes that taste of sun. Cross to Kamari Beach for a quick swim—clear water, smooth pebbles popping underfoot.

Afternoon

Retreat to the pool when the sand heats; cicadas rasp in the tamarisks while you nap in the shade. Later, wander the promenade for sandals and gelato; the wind brushes the linen of your shirt.

Evening

The sky goes peach. Take a terrace table for day-catch with lemon and capers, island white in a cold glass, and the soundtrack of forks, laughter, and shorebreak.

Night

The stones hold a little warmth; lanterns bead the paths back to your room. From the balcony, you can hear the sea counting the seconds to sleep.
