Hotels & Resorts
Boutique hotels and resorts across Greece, booked out for your wedding.
Some of the most memorable hotels in Greece are not defined by their size or their number of stars, but by their personality.
A small boutique hotel tucked into a Cycladic village, a collection of whitewashed suites cascading down a Santorini cliff, the luxurious boutique hotels of Mykonos, or a seaside resort where everyone you love can stay together can become the beginning of an entire wedding story. Greece has an extraordinary collection of independent hotels and intimate properties, often created within old houses, traditional buildings or unexpected corners of an island, each with a character entirely its own.
For a destination wedding, there is something very special about taking over a place like this and watching it become home for a few days. Breakfasts stretch into afternoons by the sea, guests meet over drinks without plans being made, and the wedding becomes one moment within a much longer celebration.
For couples bringing family and friends from around the world, choosing the right hotel or resort means giving them not only somewhere to stay, but a little piece of Greece to share together.
Best Hotel & Resort Wedding Venues in Greece
The best wedding hotels in Greece are small enough to take over and good enough that no one wants to leave. Guests wake up under the same roof, breakfast drifts into a swim, and the wedding becomes the high point of a few days spent together.
Hotel & Resort Wedding Venues in Santorini
On Santorini the hotel is the view. Suites stepped down the caldera in Oia and Imerovigli, and a handful of resorts on the quieter east coast, let the whole wedding party wake up with the volcano in front of them. Across the water, Therasia offers something Santorini itself rarely can, near silence. More in our Santorini wedding guide.
Villa Bordeaux
Villa Bordeaux sits on the very edge of the caldera in Fira, Santorini’s capital, 250 metres above the sea with the volcano and the sunset straight ahead. Being in the heart of town makes life easy for a wedding, as guests can walk to restaurants and bars, and the views from the terraces are as wide as any on the island.
Santa Irini Retreat Therasia
Santa Irini Retreat is on Therasia, the small, quiet island inside the Santorini caldera, looking back across the water at Fira and Oia. It is a heritage retreat with a handful of suites, volcanic vineyards around it and meals cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven, which makes it ideal for an intimate wedding where the whole party stays together, far from the crowds yet only a boat ride from Santorini.2
Rocabella Resort Santorini
Staying at Rocabella means waking up on the caldera in Imerovigli, with the Aegean far below and the volcano across the water. Each stay is tailored to the guest, so the couple and their closest family can spend the days around the wedding exactly as they like, then step out for the celebration without ever leaving the cliff.
On the rocks
On The Rocks is a member of Small Luxury Hotels, set 200 metres above the caldera in Imerovigli, ten minutes from Fira and ten kilometres from both the airport and Athinios port. Its rooms range from simple caldera-view doubles to suites with a hot tub or a private dip pool, which makes it easy to house a mixed guest list while the couple takes the best view in the house. Breakfast is served on each guest’s own balcony, and the pool bar becomes a natural meeting point between the welcome drinks and the wedding.
Nikki Beach Resort Santorini
Nikki Beach Resort & Spa brings its signature party style to Monolithos on Santorini’s east coast, with live music, dance troupes and custom menus that can turn a wedding into a full-scale beach celebration or keep it small and relaxed. Having the rooms, the pools and the stage in one place means guests can stay, dance and recover without ever calling a taxi. For a taste of what the resort can do, see our boho meets glam Nikki Beach wedding.
Katikies Santorini Gea House
Katikies Gea House sits on the cliffside in Oia, overlooking the caldera, a short walk from the village’s cobbled lanes and its famous sunset. Its suites follow the traditional Cycladic style, simple and beautifully finished, and the kitchen is built around wood-fired cooking rooted in the island’s land and traditions, which gives a welcome dinner or a family lunch the warmth of a Cycladic home. Part of the Katikies family of hotels, it suits couples who want to stay in the heart of Oia with their closest guests around them.
Grace Hotel
At Grace, guests spend the days around the wedding in contemporary Cycladic suites above the caldera in Imerovigli, with the volcano filling every window. Service is attentive without being seen, the food has a real Greek accent, and the whole hotel is built around privacy, so the wedding party can feel as though they have the clifftop to themselves for the weekend.
Eros Santorini Villas
Erosantorini is a private estate on a cliffside above Santorini, two acres of grounds with views across the island and room for ten adults and four children to stay. A dedicated on-site team takes care of everything, from dinners made with produce from local growers to private yacht trips and wine tastings, so the couple and their family get the service of a top resort with the privacy of their own home. It has hosted some of the biggest celebrations in our journal, including Maria and Vasilis’s big, fabulous Greek wedding.
Canaves Suites
Canaves Oia Suites gives a wedding weekend everything it needs in one place in Oia. The suites look over the caldera, many with their own plunge pool, there is a grotto-style spa for the morning after, and the hotel’s own catamaran leaves from Ammoudi below for sunset sails and wine tastings at sea. Cooking classes, pottery workshops and yoga keep guests happy on the days around the celebration, and it is where Magdalayna and Collin spent their elopement weekend.
Hotel & Resort Wedding Venues in Mykonos
Mykonos is famous for its parties, and its best hotels know how to throw one. Beyond that reputation the island has boutique properties with whitewashed courtyards and long views over the Aegean, made for couples who want the energy of Mykonos on the night and calm the morning after.
Katikies Hotel
Katikies Mykonos rises above the beach of Agios Ioannis on the island’s quiet southwest coast, looking across the Aegean to sacred Delos, about ten minutes from Mykonos town. A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, it has around 35 rooms and suites, most with their own pool or open-air jetted tub, plus infinity pools and a spa, and dinner at Botrini’s, from the same Michelin-starred chef who leads Selene on Santorini.
Kalesma
Kalesma takes its name from the Greek word for invitation, the same word used for the traditional call to a wedding, which makes it a fitting place to gather everyone. The hotel sits on a hill above Aleomandra, where myth places the stables of Apollo’s horses, and looks out to Delos with both the sunrise and the sunset in view. Whitewashed and rooted in Mykonian craft and tradition, it offers the warmth of a family home with the polish of a boutique hotel, a calm hilltop retreat for the days around the celebration.
Hotel & Resort Wedding Venues in Athens
Athens gives a wedding two kinds of hotel. In the city, design-led boutiques put the Acropolis on the guests’ doorstep, and on the coast, resorts with their own beaches turn the same weekend into a seaside escape. Either way the airport is close, and the capital becomes part of the celebration. See our Athens Riviera guide.
Four Seasons Astir Palace
Four Seasons Astir Palace occupies a 30-hectare pine-covered peninsula in Vouliagmeni on the Athens Riviera, with three private beaches of its own and the Acropolis just half an hour away. For a wedding that means a ceremony by the sea, dinner at a waterside taverna and a guest list that can stay on one estate yet still spend a day in the city. It is one of the few places in Greece where a large wedding weekend can feel both grand and completely private.
Island Resort Athens Riviera
Island sits on its own stretch of the Athens Riviera coast at Varkiza, less than an hour from the centre of Athens yet with the feel of a Greek island once you arrive. Dining terraces face the sea, a herb garden scents the paths between them, and the resort moves easily from a welcome dinner to a full wedding celebration under the stars.
The DOLLI
The Dolli is a boutique hotel in the historic heart of Athens, steps from the lanes of Plaka and surrounded by the city’s ancient landmarks. It makes an elegant base for the city chapter of a wedding week, with guests free to wander between ruins, hidden courtyards and rooftop bars before the celebration, and the Acropolis close enough to feel part of the stay.
Hotel & Resort Wedding Venues in Chios
Chios rewards couples who look beyond the Cyclades. Its finest places to stay are historic mansions in the citrus groves of Kampos, restored into a handful of suites, so a wedding party can take over an entire estate and live inside the island’s history for a few days.
Argentikon Luxury House
Argentikon turns a Genoese family estate in Kampos into a handful of suites, each one different and furnished with pieces from the period. For a wedding party that means staying behind high stone walls among citrus gardens and shaded paths, with a fireplace in the room and complete privacy, while Chios town and the sea are only a short drive away.
