Sitting proudly on the clifftops just steps from the centre of Oia village, the exclusive Canaves Oia Suites is everything you imagined Santorini would be. Gleaming sugar-white suites, inviting private plunge pools and spine-tingling views set the scene for a romantic and relaxing escape. The wonderful staff will make sure you’re pampered around the clock, on hand to create extra-special experiences like dining under the stars or cruising the coast on a private speedboat.

A 15-minute drive from the airport.

In Santorini, tucked behind Oia’s iconic blue-domed church.

32 brilliant white suites, each with a private plunge pool or infinity pool, air conditioning, satellite TV, iPod dock, WiFi, Nespresso machine, mini bar and in-room safe. The decor dazzles with an elegant simplicity, and bathrooms are stocked with luxurious Hermès and ETRO amenities. Particularly eye-catching options include the River Pool Suite, with its unique river plunge pool Jacuzzi, and the Executive Suite with its plunge pool concealed within a cave. The newest pool suites have a stunning infinity pool with panoramic views over the caldera.

Each day begins with a choice: you can enjoy a Champagne breakfast at the poolside restaurant, or have breakfast served in the privacy of your suite. The fabulous Petra gourmet restaurant has just three tables, and serves Greek cuisine with a contemporary twist. For an even more romantic experience, book the Panoramic Balcony Experience, where yours will be the only table set on a candlelit outdoor terrace, with incredible Caldera views. You can also enjoy in-room dining on your balcony, complete with your own waiter.
