“This stylish luxury hideaway in Santorini is perched above Ammoudi. Modern yet rooted in tradition, Canaves Epitome beckons with its chic cave-inspired decor and volcanic vistas. Indulge in Michelin-starred cuisine, stunning sunsets, and private plunge pools. The epitome of luxury awaits.”

Hotel review

Set atop the cliffs overlooking Ammoudi Bay, Canaves Epitome offers a luxurious retreat that's both serene and striking. The Deluxe Suites boast heated plunge pools and charming outdoor dining areas, while the Two-Bedroom Pool Villas offer unparalleled ocean vistas. But it's the Epitome Pool Villas with their crackling fire-pits that steal the show.

Elements Restaurant, led by Chef Tasos Stefatos, elevates Mediterranean cuisine to new heights. His expertise shines in dishes like the grouper en papillote and expertly grilled seafood. Dining amidst silvery grey decor, with views of the Aegean, is a feast for the senses.

With sunset views from every suite, Canaves Epitome epitomises Santorini luxury.

Canaves Oia Epitome

The newest Canaves venture is this Oia hotel bathed in natural light and decorated in elegant minimalism.

Canaves Oia Epitome

Expect a barefoot luxury vibe, spacious accommodation and great food at family-owned (and family-friendly) Canaves Oia. It overlooks Ammoudi Bay and is within strolling distance of Oia’s famed sunsets. There’s a heated infinity pool, and the chef previously worked at Michelin-starred Botrini.
