The hotel sits at the very entrance of Oia's famous marble path, just steps from the iconic blue-domed churches, the Venetian Castle, boutiques and the village's finest restaurants. Despite its proximity to the vibrant town centre, the elevated position ensures maximum privacy and unobstructed caldera views. Airport and port transfers are available; the hotel's own private helipad is a five-minute drive away, and complimentary parking including electric vehicle charging stations is provided on site.
The Canaves Oia Suites spa occupies a 17th-century wine cave artfully transformed into an enchanting wellness sanctuary carved into the cliffs. This unique natural setting offers holistic rituals and signature treatments created in partnership with Valmont, Cinq Mondes and Kos Paris, including rejuvenating skincare, massages and bespoke mind-body-soul rituals. Outdoor wellbeing activities include yoga and Pilates sessions with Aegean Sea views, as well as cardio HIIT classes and body strengthening workouts. The fitness centre is equipped with state-of-the-art treadmills, elliptical trainers and cardio machinery with performance monitoring capabilities.
The hotel and the wider Canaves Collection offer a rich programme of bespoke experiences. Guests can set sail on a private yacht or catamaran departing from the port of Ammoudi in Oia, with wine tastings and scuba diving expeditions on board. Among the gastronomic and cultural activities, hands-on cooking classes, pottery workshops and immersive Santorini wine tastings are particular highlights. Local-guided food and wine tours provide a deeper encounter with the island's authentic culture and traditions. For those seeking physical activity, the fully equipped fitness centre and outdoor group training sessions are available.
Each of the 46 suites and villas features its own private heated pool. Depending on the category, this is either a compact plunge pool with caldera views or a full infinity-edge pool of 20 to 35 sq. m with a 180-degree panorama over the volcano, the clifftop village of Oia and the Aegean Sea. The pools are set on open-air terraces equipped with sun loungers and, in select categories, an outdoor dining area.
