Canaves Sunday

Some destinations are about hard work and self-discovery, but Santorini is all about indulgence, luxury, and finding the optimal spot to catch a breathtaking Mediterreanean sunset. Often called the “supermodel” of the Greek islands, it’s known for the kind of stunning natural beauty that an average hotel would struggle to do justice to — luckily, the upscale Canaves Sunday is anything but an average hotel.

Situated on the cliffs of Oia — one of Santorini’s most picturesque locations — the boutique’s eight suites offer their own take on island decadence. Some offer a more secluded, dreamy experience by featuring a private infinity pool or hot tub, while others, like the gorgeous ten-bedroom villa, provide the space (and the incredible backdrop) to enjoy Santorini with friends and family. All suites feature beautiful handmade furniture, lush courtyards and the minimal, cotton-white interiors that are typical of the Greek islands, as well as balconies so visitors can enjoy the sunsets and near-panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and its cerulean waters in the caldera below.

There’s more to Sunday Suites than just the suites themselves. Guests can book a trip on “Alexandros,” a 69-foot private yacht, staffed with an experienced captain, a stewardess-chef, and a sailor. For a more intimate trip, consider the “Iguana” speedboat, with room for four passengers, or one of four private catamarans. And those who prefer to stay closer to home can lounge at the infinity pool, meditate at the hotel’s yoga facility, or visit the Canaves Oia Boutique, which offers elegant shopping and a personal assistant at hand.
