Sleek designer chi-chi scenester.

People who wear terribly expensive sunglasses and tiny thin heels.

Dramatic cliffs surround one of the world’s most spectacular harbours.

This hotel is a stylish sexpot that loves to show off. It commands a powerful view of the glittering ocean, fat yachts and the coastline of Oia. The young staff – dressed in white with shades – look like they’ve stepped off a Paris catwalk. Move an inch and they are beside you, forever filling your water glass and adjusting the position of your deeply comfortable double sunbed, This is a trendy, glossy place, sparkling and slick, where you’ll need your best bikini and can smugly congratulate yourself on joining the hippest party in town. There’s an infinity-pool, a vast Jacuzzi and a spa offering holistic treatments such as Zen Shiatsu. Imaginative food – crabcakes with mango sauce, fancy risottos – is accompanied by the island’s crisp white wine. From this vertiginous jewel you can explore Santorini in a private boat, swimming in the hot springs of the volcano and visiting bleached villages. Double, from £183 a night.
