On an island filled with glamorous hotels, Canaves Oia Suites is in the top tier. Maybe it’s the spectacular setting high over the Aegean Sea, or the sleek, spacious suites with designer furnishings, each with a private pool; maybe it’s the intimate scale and the air of exclusivity.
Guide Michelin, September 2026A superb, stylish all-suite hotel with spacious cave rooms built right into the cliffs. A sizeable spa, two alluring pools and a top-notch restaurant add to its appeal. This is also one of the only hotels in Oia to have its own elevator, which, in this steep and stair-filled town, is quite a bonus.
