Back then, Vedema was truly the only thing that a traveler might come to the village for. And in fact, Angelina Jolie stayed at the hotel when she was filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider on the island. (She likely even used the helipad to get here.) Now Vedema is as classic a luxury stay can get on Santorini.

During her visits to the picturesque island of Santorini, particularly during the filming of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Angelina Jolie reportedly stayed at the ultra-luxurious Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel, located in the famous village of Oia. Mystique is renowned for its iconic cave-style architecture carved directly into the rugged Caldera cliffs, offering guests unparalleled views of the Aegean Sea. The hotel provides the high level of privacy and seclusion that A-list celebrities require, featuring private infinity pools and "discreet" service. Some local reports also suggest she spent time at the Vedema Resort in Megalochori, which is under the same management and offers a more vineyard-centric, historic experience. Staying in Oia allows celebrities to witness the world-famous Santorini sunset from the comfort of their private terraces, away from the massive crowds that gather at the Byzantine Castle ruins every evening.
