Blue Waves Hotel, Santorini Overview

Blue Waves Hotel is a 2-star hotel in Santorini, Greece. Rated 9.2 out of 10 based on 120 guest reviews.

Blue Waves Hotel is a small, family-friendly 2-star base in Kamari, Santorini, Greece, where guests come for an easy beach-and-sightseeing rhythm rather than a resort-style stay. The property sits on the Kamari beachfront area at Kamari, Santorini Island 84700, putting you within a short walk of Kamari Beach and the town’s everyday conveniences. Reviews are consistently strong, with many guests praising the helpful staff and the calm, low-key atmosphere that suits relaxed holidays.

The seasonal outdoor pool is a frequent highlight, giving families a simple option for downtime between outings, and the garden and terrace help the hotel feel more lived-in than purely functional. Practical touches also get mentioned: express check-in and express check-out streamline arrival and departure, while free WiFi makes it easier to plan routes across the island. Luggage storage is useful if you want to keep exploring after check-out.

In terms of what’s nearby, Ancient Thira is about 2 km away for history and viewpoints, while Red Beach is roughly 9 km from the hotel for dramatic coastline scenery. For broader island energy, Fira town is around 12 km, where you can browse shops and connect to more tours. Guests who have stayed here often describe the experience as good value for the area, especially for travelers who want to be close to Kamari’s beach scene without paying for higher-star facilities.

Blue Waves Hotel is best for families and budget travelers who prioritize location, a friendly welcome, and straightforward amenities over luxury.
