OIA, SANTORINI (Sept. 26, 2023) – Three new luxury villas were introduced to the Canaves Oia collection of resorts and villas in Santorini, Greece this season. The villas, along with the company’s Eden Villas complex, join the newly established Canaves Oia Villas Collection, which offers travelers to Santorini the perfect blend of privacy and space afforded guests of a luxury villa, along with the amenities and distinguished services of a luxury hotel, such as daily breakfast, room service, 24-hour front desk, twice-daily maid service and more.
In Santorini, where most of the hotels were carved out from renovated historic residences, it’s rare to find large accommodations, particularly on the cliff, or caldera, side in Oia. The 40-year-old Canaves Oia, a family-owned collection of luxury hotels and villas, brings something different to Santorini’s luxury accommodations with its bespoke collection of villas, each recently built or renovated. The new villas include a 5-bedroom villa at Canaves Oia Epitome, which is one of the largest villa accommodations available in the Oia area; plus a 3-bedroom villa and a 2-bedroom villa at the flagship Canaves Oia Suites property; along with the 3-villa at its Eden Villas complex in nearby Imerovigli, which offers the ultimate privacy.
Each of the villas offer contemporary design, spacious living, prime locations in Oia and Imerovigli, and breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. The villas are designed to elevate the vacation experience with a full set of amenities and premium services that will leave guests feeling pampered and rejuvenated.
“We added to our villa product because of continued demand for larger accommodations,” says Managing Director Markos Chaidemenos, who was recently recognized as Hotelier of the Year by Virtuoso. “Travelers are visiting with bigger groups or simply looking for more privacy and space to relax, and we’ve found that the accessibility our guests have to luxury resort amenities and services such as gourmet restaurants, room service and concierge assistance, has been a big draw for us.”
The Canaves Oia collection includes five luxurious properties on Santorini: the 53-suite-and-villa Canaves Oia Epitome; the flagship, 41-pool-suite Canaves Oia Suites; 18-suite Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel; the 8-suite Canaves Oia Sunday Suites; and the 3-villa complex of Eden Villas; as well as the Sunset Oia yacht excursions and rentals company. The properties are members of Virtuoso, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Select Hotels & Resorts, and J.MAK HOSPITALITY. The brand has been recognized multiple times with Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.

About Canaves Oia
Canaves Oia (www.canaves.com) is a family-owned-and-managed collection of luxury resorts on Santorini, Greece, each with its own unique dining concept and stunning views. When their first property opened in 1983 the Chaidemenos family were among the first families to introduce tourism to the fishing village of Oia, Santorini. It was then that Yiannis and Anna Chaidemenos transformed 17th-century caves, once used to store wine, into designer-chic luxury hotel rooms. The birth of the Canaves Oia brand, led by an all-white minimalistic concept, redefined the meaning of luxury accommodation in Santorini. Today, the Canaves Oia collection includes five luxurious properties on Santorini: the 53-suite-and-villa Canaves Oia Epitome; the 41-pool-suite Canaves Oia Suites; the flagship, 18-suite Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel; the 8-suite Canaves Oia Sunday Suites; and the 3-villa complex of Eden Villas. The properties are members of Virtuoso, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Select Hotels & Resorts, and J.MAK HOSPITALITY.
