Canaves Oia Suites provide a romantic, luxurious setting for honeymooners to fully experience the magical island of Santorini. Located in the fishing village of Oia, the suites and villas have stunning views of the Aegean Sea and the Caldera. Built in the classic Cycladic architecture style of these islands, the square whitewashed buildings, flat terraces, pools, and occasional blue dome merge in harmony with sea and sky to create a tranquil scene. Planters with bright geraniums and falls of bougainvillea over whitewashed walls add vivid color.

The suites were originally built in the 17th century to store wine, and were tastefully converted into guest suites with privacy and great views. Visitors can choose private suites, or villas that were built later for their romantic retreat. The honeymoon suite has an open plan bedroom and living room, plunge pool, Jacuzzi, and a private verandah for meals with a view. The tranquility outside is echoed indoors in the minimalist decor. Both have come to define the meaning of luxury on Santorini.

Enjoy gourmet dining with the finest in Greek cuisine at Petra Restaurant & Bar, with fresh seafood, Wagyu beef and signature cocktails. A special candlelight dinner for two at the Panorama Balcony, suspended between sea and sky with a gorgeous view of the Caldera, will be a meal to remember. Wine tastings can also be arranged for guests. Special request meals with vegetarian and gluten-free menus are available.

Luxurious spa treatments and a wellness studio with yoga sessions add to your inner and outer well-being. A yachting trip is the best way to explore the island of Santorini, admire the coastline and land at hidden coves for a picnic and a swim. Luxury charter sailing boats will take you round the island or to nearby islands to give you a taste of the tradition of seafaring and exploration.
