Our favourite rooms
We’re suckers for a private pool, so we’d opt for either a Pool Bungalow (with ample outdoor space and 18 square metres to splash about in) or the enticing Pool Suites, for all the same reasons. The suites also come with outdoor rain showers, alfresco dining areas and enough room for four guests.
Poolside
There’s an outdoor pool – plus a pool bar and plenty of sunbeds – and a soul-soothing indoor pool.
Spa
The serene spa was built around the Greek principle of wellbeing – ‘Ef Zin’ – an approach that favours holistic methods of self-care. So while there’s a first-rate spa with sauna, steam bath, cold tank and treatment rooms, there are also plenty of other wellbeing spaces: naturalist gardens for seclusion and relaxing, a fitness room with personal trainer, and an alfresco yoga area. Treatments use Korres products and Santorini-grown ingredients including local grapes (they’re not just for drinking, you know).
Packing tips
Noūs is well designed for the modern nomad or remote worker, so take a leaf out of the slow-travel guidebook and pack your laptop – you’ll be pleased to know the WiFi stretches to your villa’s sun-soaked sunbeds.
Also
Any areas with steps also have an elevator and all four garden rooms have wheelchair access.
Children
Children are welcome at Noūs, but note that there’s no kids club or babysitting available, and the spa is adults only. Extra beds can be added to the junior suites, bungalows, pool suites and deluxe pool suites.
Sustainability efforts
The hotel uses renewable energy and solar power, recycles waste water, favours sustainable produce, and chooses organic wines – all contributing to their goal of having as little negative impact on the environment as possible.
