The Aegean Gem is locked in the seaside community of Kamari in Santorini. It consists of three traditional two-storey buildings with domes. The buildings follow the terrain, having spacious and comfortable rooms and refined suites with outdoor jacuzzi. The Hotel offers privacy and comfort, having wrapped the latest technology of facilities in a traditional Cycladic landscape. The hotel complex has been designed and manufactured having the bioclimatic design as the primary scope, aiming to achieve an ‘A’ energy efficiency, taking in consideration the natural environment and the local climate.
On a plot of approximately 1.000 m2, the total developed area of the buildings was 850 m2, having covered only 280 m2 of the land. That made possible for the remaining open space to be planted, having as a guide the Mediterranean plants that thrive in the Cycladic environment and that could withstand the gusty winds and the requirement of as little as possible water. The influence of the colour palette of the materials used throughout the buildings, was originated by the volcano colours. The Reception area-lobby welcomes the visitor with the simple interior design, whose main characteristic is the hanging staircase, having metal elements of the Hotel's trademark instead of the staircase railing. The Rooms and suites feature modern and minimal decoration, having a breathtaking view of Santorini’s stunning landscape. The outdoor jacuzzi that most rooms offer, will become the most favorable place for relaxation.
The swimming pool and bar area is situated right aſter the lobby, between the buildings of the Hotel, having complete protection from the northerly winds. The design of surrounding area of the hotel was influenced by the traditional alleys of the island villages.
