Luxury Travel Intelligence has released “The World’s Best New Luxury Hotels 2022″ list listing a total of 15 hotels that opened their doors to the public for the first time in 2022, and seven of these hotels are located in Europe, with Greece having two hotels in the list concerning the European area.
“Nobu”, in Santorini
With a two-level cliff-top infinity pool overlooking Santorini’s northeast coast, Nobu is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Greek landscape.
If you are more adventurous you could visit the Oia-Fira hiking trail right on the doorstep of the hotel.
Nobu’s distinctive Japanese minimalism perfectly matches Santorini’s iconic whitewashed aesthetic, with natural curves and hues interspersed with tropical palm trees and pool villas.
“Cali” in Mykonos
It consists of a collection of 40 luxury residences, where they are positioned between two mountains overlooking the Aegean – and the hotel’s private beach. The infinity pool with sea water will offer unique moments of relaxation.
The structure of the hotel follows the natural flow of the land, with local stone and marble throughout, making the hotel part of the natural Cycladic architecture.
Destinations in Italy, Austria and Scotland round out the rest of Europe’s list
The lion’s share of the list issued by Luxury Travel Intelligence is held by Italy in Europe, as this year three new luxury resorts welcomed people. One is in Verona, called “Vista Palazzo”, the second is in Tuscany, “The Club House at Fontanelle Estate” and the third is in Lake Como, the Hotel “Passalacqua”.
In Austria the lights “fell” on the newly built “Rosewood” and in Scotland on the “Gleneagles Townhouse”.
