But are there infinity pools and why are they so famous in Santorini? As you can see from the pictures, these special pools often arise anchored to hillsides, dominating larger water bodies, the edge of which is positioned at a lower water level than the rest of the pool. Such peculiar structure is designed to produce the visual effect of water with no boundary.
It doesn’t surprise that these pools are so famous in Santorini, where most resorts, estates, and luxurious hotels feature this new trend as their distinctive characteristic.

Infinity pools and much more: the Blue Dolphins has launched a new trend: the luxurious proposal of a panoramic Jacuzzi on a private terrace.
These pools, that seem to be perfectly integrated in the surrounding environment, are spread all over the island, well known for its tourist accommodation structures. But, the most beautiful infinity pools are located in Fira and in the area surrounding the caldera, the two most visited areas in Santorini.
In the most crowded part of the island of love, rise many hotels and apartments carved in the rock, known as the famous cave houses: unique and evocative buildings, perfectly designed for an infinity pool.
There are other parts of the island where infinity pools can be found, but, as already said, the area close to the caldera, where most VIPs and celebrities from all over the world live, is where the most beautiful infinity pools are located.
If you are looking for a crazy luxurious combo, you should also try the newest proposal made by some hotels, adding a panoramic Jacuzzi to the “view, pool and sunset” mix. One of these hotels is the Blue Dolphins, which has created unique suites with panoramic hot tubs, located on private terraces.
Santorini certainly is the perfect destination for a getaway or a honeymoon.
