Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

A dream! Vedema is truly the essence of Santorini. Located in the picturesque Megalachori you get to experience the island and all its colours and flavours, in a more private way. The resort is beautiful. The gardens, the grand villas, and attention to detail make you feel home away from home. We definitely recommend the wine tasting at its historic canava. Their Vin Santo is something else. Thanks so much to the manager Theodore for your hospitality, to Simon, Vassili and all the team for making our stay a memorable one. Vedema is pure charm and the best of a secret Santorini. We would love to come back again.

This resort is fantastic. The service and staff are exceptional. Vassilis as the sommelier was superb. Can recommend this totally

I loved this hotel—the service, location, food, and staff were all excellent. My only comment is that I had a bit of trouble opening the door since it isn’t electric; the key kept getting stuck each time I used it. Aside from that small inconvenience, I highly recommend this place.

Stunning hotel! On my second visit was upgraded from a suite to an Olympian Villa. The villas are spacious, beautifully designed and furnished, with a wonderful outdoor Terrace and private pool looking towards the southern shore of the island. The general facilities, including two large outdoor pools, modern and well equipped fitness center, outdoor rooftop restaurant (magical at night) , and flower and vegetation adorned grounds, are gorgeous. It is a little five star village nestled in an authentic living village. The only downside is that if you are coming to Santorini to take photos for your Instagram of yourself and your companion(s) lounging in an infinity pool perched on a cliff, overlooking the iconic caldera view, this is not the correct hotel and you will need to drive 20 to 30 minutes to get yourself there. If however, you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful refuge on Santorini that allows you to stay put, slow down, and access whatever else to the island can offer with a short drive, than this is the place for you. I congratulate the managers on running an incredible show with an incredible staff in a piece of paradise, and hope to return again and again

Vedema was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. The resort itself is gorgeous, and the pool setup is fantastic—spacious, relaxing, and never crowded, with plenty of room to settle in for the day. The poolside service was excellent, and we loved the unexpected touches, like surprise fruit platters delivered while we lounged. A special thank-you to Maria and to the bartender who made us the most delicious Orange Crushes—I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name! The entire staff made our stay feel special. Tasos and Eri were wonderful at breakfast, as was Sam, who also took great care of us by the pool. Kristos was a fantastic bartender, and George and Vassilis were incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, as well as our driver Kristos. The resort also made getting around Santorini remarkably easy by arranging cars and taxis for us whenever we needed them. We loved staying in Megalochori—it’s a beautiful, charming village with plenty of places to eat and explore, while still making it easy to visit Thira and Oia. We even happened to be there for a village festival one evening, complete with traditional Greek dancing, which was such a fun and memorable experience. Gavalas Winery's tasting room is definitely worth a stop! Vedema gave us the perfect combination of a beautiful resort, genuinely warm service, and a location that felt like part of the local community. We would absolutely stay again.
