Escape to Santorini at your Contemporary Sanctuary above Ammoudi Bay at Canaves Oia Epitome, an iconic address in Oia, for an exceptional escape with villas, swimming pools, sea views, restaurant, wellness, and private sunsets curated by Casol.

Discover a legendary stay on the northern tip of Santorini. Set on a rare flat expanse above Ammoudi Bay, Canaves Oia Epitome embodies modern Cycladic luxury.
