PB hotel design editorial

Dark volcanic stone laid in the dry-wall tradition of the Cyclades — the same material farmers used for centuries to terrace Santorini's hillsides against the Aegean wind — gives Canaves Oia Epitome its most elemental gesture. Opened in 2021 as the newest and most architecturally ambitious chapter of the Canaves family of properties, Epitome was conceived around a vocabulary of hand-laid basalt walls, arched passageways, and mature olive trees transplanted into planted courtyards, the whole composition pressing into the caldera-edge terrain of Oia as though it had always been there. The interiors work a quiet counterpoint: barrel-vaulted ceilings washed in white lime plaster, low platform beds dressed in grey linen, and built-in stone ledges replacing the conventional hotel furniture vocabulary entirely. The palette throughout keeps faith with the Aegean's own tones — bone, slate, and the bleached warmth of local timber — without collapsing into the whitewashed cliché that lesser Santorini properties reach for. Rooms open directly onto private terraces where the volcanic stone walls reappear as garden enclosures, and the infinity pool deck extends teak-and-concrete day beds out over a mirror of still water, clipped citrus trees casting dappled shade in a register closer to a private Mediterranean estate than a hotel pool. At dusk, the terrace restaurant frames views west across the Aegean toward the silhouetted outlines of neighbouring islands — a moment the architecture earns rather than merely promises.

"If you look up 5 star in the dictionary, a picture of this property should be shown. We stayed here for 1 night to celebrate my birthday. We arrived very early at 10 am, and understandably our room wasn’t ready yet but they were very nice and allowed us to use a room to change our clothes and they stored our bags. Dijana gave us a thorough tour of the resort and gave us great advice on the island. They even provide some lovely ice tea. We used their shuttle to go into town while our room was getting ready. The shuttle is a very valuable service at this property. The drive only takes 5 mins and it runs 24 hours a day. We used it many times and each driver was so nice and friendly. When our room was ready, we checked into room 103. It is a two bedroom with a view of the bay. It was magnificent. It has a private pool facing the bay, and two floors inside. A living room and king bedroom on one, and a two bed room on the floor below, each with their own bath. The staff had decorated the living room with balloons and provided an amazing birthday cake with fruits and a bottle of wine and juice for our birthday. It was all so lovely and much appreciated. Really made us feel special. The bath products were great and even included body scrub. The sunset view from 103 is one of the best on the island and we had it from our front door. In addition to the pool, there is a table and multiple loungers and daybeds (including one in the pool) so you just can be comfortable just enjoying the outdoors. The beds are very comfortable and we slept great. Everything was in great shape and I didn’t see any wear and tear on anything. The place was spotless. As good as it all was, the service still stood out. Every hotel staff member was attentive and helpful. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious resort stay in Santorini and it is suitable for not just adults but family stays as well."

"We had the honor and pleasure of hosting our wedding at Canaves Epitome and the entire experience was incredible. We could not be more happy with how everything turned out. The villas were breathtaking, the service was beyond exceptional. The entire staff was thoughtful, attentive, and delivered with 110% care and professionalism. Every single detail was handled with precision and warmth, making us feel completely at ease throughout our stay and celebration. Our wedding weekend was nothing short of a dream come true, and we truly could not be happier with how everything turned out. To the entire Canaves Epitome team: thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day so unforgettable. This place is pure perfection, and we cannot wait to return someday to relive the magic."
