Canaves Epitome – Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Total number of rooms: 55 | Prices start from 627.88 US$

Unlike many cliffside stays, this hotel offers direct access to Katharos Beach, which is rare in Santorini. So, you can switch between poolside luxury and a more natural, volcanic beach setting without effort. Set above the charming fishing village of Ammoudi, Canaves Epitome feels intentionally removed from the crowds of Oia. You still get those iconic caldera views. However, you enjoy them in calm, open space. Suites and villas lean into minimalist Cycladic design. Most come with private or plunge pools, so you can start your morning quietly and end your day with a sunset swim.

A welcome drink sets the tone, while butler service keeps everything seamless. You can easily arrange spa treatments, yoga sessions, or private experiences. Breakfast becomes a moment to look forward to—especially with the Champagne à la carte option served with sea views.

Dining and social spaces also shine. The sunset lounge creates one of the most relaxed viewing spots on the island. And because the hotel sits slightly away from Oia center, you avoid the usual rush.

Good to know: The hotel free parking is a major advantage if you rent a car.
