Santorini review: pros, cons and who it suits
Santorini is an Apartment/ Condominium in Botani, Ipoh, Perak, with 900 – 1,959 sqft built-up, 3–5 bedrooms and 2–4 bathrooms, freehold, completing 2028 Q2. Starting at RM170,000.
Who it suits
- You are a first-time buyer and a Malaysian citizen — at RM170,000 this sits under the RM500,000 ceiling, so stamp duty on both the transfer and the loan agreement is exempt
- Freehold title is a firm requirement for you
- You need the space — the largest layout here goes up to 5 bedrooms
Who it does not suit
- You need to move in soon — completion is estimated 2028 Q2
Santorini floor plans
Tap a plan to open it full size. Floor plans are the developer’s, from santorinibotaniipoh.com.my. Room counts above are what the plans show: the developer’s own unit table counts Type A as 4 rooms and Types D and E as 6 rooms, which does not match the bedrooms drawn — ask us to confirm the room count for the type you are looking at.
Unit types
Five layouts, all with a balcony. Sizes and room counts are the developer’s.
| Type A | 1,066 sq ft (99 m²) · 3 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · balcony (the developer’s table calls this 4 rooms) |
|---|---|
| Type B | 967 sq ft (89.8 m²) · 3 rooms · 2 bathrooms · balcony |
| Type C | 900 sq ft (83.5 m²) · 3 rooms · 2 bathrooms · balcony |
| Type D | 1,927 sq ft (179 m²) · 5 bedrooms · balcony (the developer’s table calls this 6 rooms, 4 bathrooms) |
| Type E | 1,959 sq ft (182 m²) · 5 bedrooms · balcony (the developer’s table calls this 6 rooms, 4 bathrooms) |
| Floors | Ground floor plus levels 2–26; units face either the airport and city, or the pool |

Indicative figures. Your actual instalment depends on the bank’s valuation, the margin you are approved for and the rate you are offered. Adjust any of it on the instalment calculator.
What to check before you buy Santorini
Freehold — confirm which kind of title
Santorini is freehold, so there is no lease term to renew and no state consent to wait for when you sell. The question still worth asking is whether the title finally issued is an individual title or a strata title, because that decides whether a management body and a monthly charge come with the house. Ask which one the SPA provides for — on a landed development it is not always the one buyers assume.
Completion is targeted for 2028 Q2
You pay progressively as each construction stage is certified, so if you are renting meanwhile you carry both costs for part of the period to 2028. Ask what construction stage the project is at now, not just the target date. Confirm the specification against the SPA rather than the brochure, and treat the date as the developer's target rather than a guarantee.
Monthly maintenance: not published
A maintenance charge may apply to swimming pool with jacuzzi, children’s pool, gymnasium, indoor badminton court, jogging track, dance & yoga studio, because shared areas and managed services have to be paid for by someone. The documented rate for Santorini is not published in the project information available to me, and I will not estimate one. Request the written maintenance rate and the sinking fund contribution from the developer, and ask what they are calculated on, before you compare this price against a house with no shared facilities.
What the floor area gives you
On paper this unit is 900 – 1,959 sqft of built-up space, 3–5 bedrooms and 2–4 bathrooms. For a high-rise the figures that decide how it lives are the built-up, the layout, which floor it sits on and what the parking arrangement is — ask for the floor level and the parking allocation for the specific unit, because those two are not in the price list and they differ between units in the same block.

Common questions about Santorini
How much does Santorini cost?
Santorini starts from RM170,000. That is the entry unit type — corner, end and larger lots are priced higher. Prices move as units sell, so confirm the current chart before budgeting around any figure.
How big are the units at Santorini?
Built-up size is 900 – 1,959 sqft. Each home has 3–5 bedrooms and 2–4 bathrooms. Room-by-room measurements are on the developer’s floor plan.
Where is Santorini located?
Santorini is in Botani, Ipoh, Perak. Nearby: SJK(C) Bandar Seri Botani, Shen Jai High School, Lotus’s and Econsave.
Is Santorini freehold or leasehold?
Santorini is Freehold. Freehold has no lease expiry, which is one less variable on financing and resale.
When will Santorini be completed?
Vacant possession is estimated for 2028 Q2. That is the developer’s target rather than a guaranteed date — check what the SPA measures the completion period from, and the liquidated damages position if it runs late.
What would the monthly instalment be for Santorini?
Roughly RM650 a month on a RM170,000 home with a 10% down payment over 35 years at around 3.7%. This is an estimate, not a loan offer — your margin, tenure and rate are set by the bank. Change any of the numbers on the instalment calculator.
How much cash do I need to buy Santorini?
The main upfront item is the 10% down payment, about RM17,000 at the starting price, less whatever the booking fee already covers. On top of that come the loan agreement stamp duty and legal fees, and the MOT stamp duty where the developer does not absorb them. Work your own figure on the upfront cost calculator.
What facilities does Santorini have?
Santorini residents get Swimming Pool with Jacuzzi, Children’s Pool, Gymnasium, Indoor Badminton Court, Jogging Track, Dance & Yoga Studio, Games Lounge, Children’s Playground, BBQ Pits, Multi-purpose Hall, Mini Theatre, Cafe, Convenience Store, Launderette, EV Charging Station and Multi-level Car Park.
Who is Santorini suitable for?
Santorini tends to suit first-time buyers most — the entry price and the instalment banding are built around what a first home budget can actually stretch to, not aimed at investors chasing rental yield. If a lower monthly instalment or a current promotion is what matters most to you, ask us for the latest numbers before you compare it against anything pricier. On the published specification the main draws are Santorini Design Concept, Instalment from RM750, Affordable House and Resort Facilities. Whether it fits depends on your budget, how long you intend to hold it and how the location works for your daily commute.
Is Santorini gated and guarded?
Santorini is not marketed as gated and guarded, though it does come with Swimming Pool with Jacuzzi, Children’s Pool, Gymnasium, Indoor Badminton Court, Jogging Track, Dance & Yoga Studio, Games Lounge, Children’s Playground, BBQ Pits, Multi-purpose Hall, Mini Theatre, Cafe, Convenience Store, Launderette, EV Charging Station and Multi-level Car Park. The gated schemes in Ipoh are listed on this page.
Is there a maintenance fee at Santorini?
Yes — any development with shared areas or security carries a monthly maintenance charge, because those areas have to be staffed, cleaned, insured and eventually repaired. I do not have a documented rate for Santorini and will not estimate one. Ask the developer for the figure in writing and ask what it is calculated on (a flat rate per unit, or per square foot), and check whether the sinking fund is inside that number or charged on top.
How does Santorini compare with Pearl Garden Phase 3?
Pearl Garden Phase 3 is the closest thing to Santorini on price in Botani: RM478,000 against RM170,000, a difference of about RM308,000. Pearl Garden Phase 3 is a 1.5 storey terrace house on leasehold. At this kind of gap the deciding factors are usually tenure, completion date and how the layout actually suits you, not the price itself — open both pages side by side before you pick one.
