The DNA: There’s an organic vibe to this sea-view boutique haven (previously the OMMA Hotel) with breathtaking views encompassing both sides of the caldera, whose sleek, egg-like forms and Cycladic-white exteriors are complemented by two large infinity pools. Service is superb and it’s close to all the main sights. It melds organically with its surroundings thanks to clever use of fragrant plants (thyme, rosemary), low-growing olive trees and public areas punctuated by huge chunks of volcanic rock. Ofcourse the hotel offers a signature Nobu restaurant.
