Domes Novos Santorini Welcomes Maitr & Margarita

In the tranquil Tholos region of Santorini, just beyond the well-trodden paths of Oia, a new story is unfolding. One that blends volcanic memory with culinary artistry, understated luxury with soulful hospitality. At the heart of this narrative lies Domes Novos Santorini, the latest gem in the Domes collection—and, for summer 2025, the new seasonal home of Maitr & Margarita, Thessaloniki’s beloved gastrobistrot.

A Culinary Journey Rooted in Memory and Land

Known for its emotionally resonant approach to modern Greek cuisine, Maitr & Margarita has already carved a name for itself through its first successful collaboration with Domes. Now, this gastronomic project finds its next expression in Santorini’s raw elegance. Led by chef Sokratis Beliyannis and sommelier Roi Apoikou, the culinary experience at Domes Novos Santorini speaks a language that is both earthy and refined.

The seasonal menu draws from Cycladic tradition, reshaping the flavors of the Aegean through a lens of personal memory and local terroir. From indigenous cheeses and island meats to fresh-caught fish and herbs from the volcanic soil, each plate is a conversation between past and present. Complementing the dishes is a thoughtfully curated wine list built exclusively on Greek labels, featuring rare finds from Santorini and biodynamic, small-batch selections that echo the authenticity of the land.

A Setting Made for Stillness—and Discovery

The restaurant space unfolds across two levels, with its rooftop offering sweeping views of the sea and sky—transforming each meal into a multisensory experience. But it’s not just the table that tells the story. The hotel itself, opened in April 2024, is a retreat shaped by nature and intention.

With architecture inspired by the island’s rebirth after its volcanic eruption, Domes Novos Santorini celebrates quiet transformation. Fifty suites and two villas, all with private pools and terraces, look out over the caldera, the Aegean, and the sun-drenched vineyards. Interior designer Olivia Siskou and KCP Architects have crafted a space where Cycladic simplicity meets grounded luxury, wrapped in terracotta hues and volcanic textures.

More Than a Stay—A Ritual of Reconnection

From underground spa pools and meditative yoga sessions in the vineyards to interactive cooking classes and local wine tours, every moment at Domes Novos Santorini invites guests to slow down—and go deeper. The SOMA Spa “The Refined” offers customized treatments rooted in wellness traditions, while the surrounding landscape becomes part of the guest’s daily rhythm.

Where Stories Are Served at Sunset of Santorini

The collaboration between Domes Novos Santorini and Maitr & Margarita is more than a seasonal partnership. It is a shared philosophy: that travel, like food, should be intimate, rooted, and deeply felt. Together, they invite guests to experience the gastronomy Santorini not only as a destination, but as a living story—told through taste, place, and a hospitality that feels as warm as it is rare.

Words have many different meanings. So does the Domes experience.
