Canaves Oia: The Boutique Celebrity Hideout

Santorini has fast become, a number one celeb ‘hot spot’, and lets face it, it’s not hard to work out why! With unparalleled sunsets, picture-perfect views of the Aegean, white-washed architecture, luxury accommodation and a warm, romantic atmosphere, it is easy to fall in love with the Grecian paradise.

This peaceful retreat was enjoyed by Peter Andre and his new wife Emily this summer, as they spent the first few days of their honeymoon, at one of the chic suites within the hotel. The nation-loved singer and his partner enjoyed the luxury facilities of the Santorini gem, including a pristine, spacious suite with private veranda, al fresco dining and a spectacular plunge pool (with underwater bar), before sailing off around the caldera for endless romantic moments.

The island is not only for love birds, in-fact, it provides the perfect retreat for groups of friends looking for an unforgettable summer getaway consisting of delicious food, fine wine, boutique shops, chic yet authentic accommodation and mesmerising views.

The 26 prestigious suites are each home to lavish interior, crisp white decor, exquisite Hermes fabrics and walk in wardrobes. The best part? Your very own, private plunge pool, the perfect spot for cracking open a bottle of bubbly and getting lost in dreamy surroundings.

The icing on the cake has to be the resorts incredible, newly renovated villa. This spacious haven which comfortably sleeps 7/8 people was enjoyed this summer by multi-talented actress, film director and screenwriter, Helen Hunt who visited the island for some much needed relaxation time. Another fan of the island, american basketball hero Mr. Kobe Bryant, also payed a visit to Canaves’s premier hideaway last summer. It’s no wonder the villa has been a huge hit with celebs, with its authentic decor including marble flooring, minimalistic aesthetic running throughout, post-modern furnishings, spacious interiors and a private whirlpool jacuzzi, Canaves Villa reaches even the highest expectation.
