Santa Maria Luxury Suites & Spa
Sea-view suites with a spa near Papikinou Beach
About this hotel
Santa Maria pairs its suites with an in-house spa, a rarer combination in Adamas where most stays are studio-style rather than suite-and-wellness combinations. The seven-minute walk to Papikinou Beach means the sea view from the balcony is often matched by the sand itself once guests get moving in the morning. Suites are finished in the whitewashed Cycladic style with private bathrooms throughout, flat-screen TVs and free WiFi as standard, and a safety deposit box for anyone carrying valuables between the beach and the spa. The port and Mining Museum are both reachable comfortably on foot for anyone filling an afternoon between spa sessions and the beach without ever needing a rental car.

Our take
This suits couples wanting a spa afternoon bookended by beach mornings, without a long transfer from the airport eating into the first day. The suite-level pricing sits above the studio competition in Adamas, which is the trade for the spa and the extra polish in the rooms themselves. Travellers on a tight budget will find better value at the family-run studios nearer the port, where the amenities are simpler but the location just as workable.
- ✓Book a spa slot the day you arrive, afternoons fill up fast in high season
- ✓Walk to Papikinou Beach before 10am for the calmest water
- ✓Confirm a sea-view suite by name, the garden-facing rooms are priced lower

Why guests love itBooked two nights mostly for the spa, and it delivered: a proper treatment afternoon, then a short walk down to Papikinou Beach the next morning before the crowds arrived. The suite's balcony had enough of a sea line to make coffee out there worthwhile every day of the stay. Airport pickup took barely ten minutes given the four-kilometre distance, which meant the first evening wasn't lost to travel. Would have liked the spa hours extended into the evening for a post-beach treatment.
