You know that feeling when you close your eyes and see your wedding day, don't you? The way your dress is highlighted by the light, the sounds that surround you and the colours that catch your eye. Now open your eyes. The vision becomes your reality at the Rocabella Santorini Hotel & SPA. And it is better than you ever imagined. Rocabella is more than just a hotel – it's perched on the edge of the world-famous caldera. In this place, the whispers of volcanoes meet the sighs of the Aegean, where sunsets transform the sky into a canvas of unparalleled hues, and where your forever story begins in a way you never imagined.

Your wedding is the culmination of your love story – the moment everything clicks into place. And the venue you choose to celebrate this moment should understand that. And the views? The word "breathtaking" doesn't even come close to describing it. The caldera, with its endless blue stretch, provides the perfect natural backdrop for your special day. The famous Santorini sunset serves as your setting, while the volcanic cliffs create a dramatic stage for your ceremony. This is the Greece you've imagined, the Santorini you've always wished for, the setting that will leave your guests awestruck upon their arrival.

Here’s what sets Rocabella apart:

  • Unparalleled caldera views from every venue, providing you and your guests with an authentic Santorini experience.

  • An expert wedding team who will handle every detail with meticulous care and genuine warmth.
  • Luxury accommodation so you can extend your celebration into a full Santorini experience.
  • An award-winning spa offering pre-wedding pampering and couples' treatments to help you truly relax.
  • The Afropsaro Restaurant serving authentic Greek and Mediterranean cuisine that captures the essence of the Aegean.

Lauren & Johnny shared:

Greece was always part of our love story, so we knew it would be the place we’d say “I do.” We were instantly captivated by Santorini’s stunning scenery and unmistakable romance. Rocabella Santorini offered an unforgettable setting with breathtaking views and timeless elegance. Our special day was nothing short of perfect, and we can’t wait to return in the future to relive the memories.

Every couple has their own vision, and this is something that should be respected. Some of you are planning a romantic and intimate celebration, while others are planning the celebration of a lifetime with all their loved ones. Rocabella gets it. That's why they've created three distinct venues. Each has its own personality and magic.

Infinity Kiosk Venue: A Wedding in the Sky

Rocabella's highest point is where you'll find this elegant deck, seemingly reaching for the heavens. You stand on the edge of the caldera cliffs, and the boundary between sea and sky seems to dissolve. It's dramatic. It's intimate. Your ceremony will feel as if it is suspended in time at this special place.

Exclusive Pool Venue: Your Treasured Sanctuary

This venue combines the traditional Cycladic architecture with contemporary elegance. The white-washed walls, the gentle curves, the way caldera views are framed by everything—it's quintessentially Santorini, but elevated. This space can be adapted to suit any kind of event you can imagine, from small gatherings to large celebrations, and it will always retain the enchanting atmosphere that has become its hallmark.

Jessica and Casey remember their day here vividly:

It was an incredible venue with a breathtaking view, we had the best time and everyone was so kind and took great care of us.

Your wedding day is almost here. The excitement is mounting, but there may also be a degree of stress present. It is at this point that the spa becomes an essential part of your preparation, rather than a luxury.

For the Bride: Radiance That Goes Beyond Skin Deep

Their flexible bridal spa packages are designed specifically with this important time in your life in mind. The 'Glowing Jewel of Cyclades' facial uses luxurious ingredients to brighten, firm and rejuvenate your skin, giving you that luminous glow which looks so beautiful in photographs. If you need something quick but effective, look no further. Your skin will be left feeling velvety smooth after using the "Confetti Rainfall Shower Express Body Polish", which gently buffs away dullness. All your pre-wedding tensions will be melted away by the "Cocoon & Revitalize Your Senses Experience", the perfect way to unwind.

For the Groom: Looking Your Best, Feeling Even Better

Grooms deserve to be pampered too. The same luxurious treatments — the brightening facial, the invigorating body polish and the stress-melting massage — are designed to leave you feeling refreshed, confident and ready for your close-up.

Together: Couple Treatments That Connect

The "Grecian Prince and Princess" treatment is a 120-minute experience for you both to enjoy together. It includes exfoliation, honey masks and a soothing massage. Treat yourselves to the "Love Affair" experience on your honeymoon, where you'll discover personalised aphrodisiac scents and massage oils that will awaken all your senses. Exclusive spa discounts and tailored packages are also on offer for guests at your bachelor or bachelorette parties.

A Culinary Journey Worth Celebrating

The food at your wedding should be more than just fuel; it should be a memorable part of the occasion. The culinary team at Afropsaro Restaurant is dedicated to creating authentic Greek and Mediterranean flavours that highlight the finest ingredients from the Aegean region.

Traditional Greek breakfasts are the perfect start to your wedding day. Think local cheeses, fresh honey, flaky pastries and strong Greek coffee. As you prepare for the day ahead, be it a spa appointment or a final walkthrough with your coordinator, the blue expanse of the sea stretches out before you.

The seafood-focused menu that Afropsaro delivers for your reception dinner is the perfect way to experience the unique flavours of Greek island cuisine. Carpaccio made from the day's catch. Octopus that is so tender it melts on your tongue. Slow-cooked grouper that tastes like the sea itself, with a texture that is as soft as the ocean's waves. The island's culinary traditions are reflected in each dish, which also meets the elevated standards you'd expect from a luxury hotel.

The cocktail programme deserves a special mention. Santorini sunsets call for an equally stunning cocktail, and the bar team creates exotic drinks that capture the spirit of the island. If you're looking for something more intimate, why not arrange a private candlelit dinner in your suite? This way, you can savour exquisite courses in the privacy of your own space, all while taking in breathtaking views of the caldera.
