Fodor's Expert Review Canaves Oia Luxury Suites
Ia, Santorini, 84702, Greece
The Canaves Oia brand seems intent on buying up every spare property in the town, but this is the original development and still the best—a collection of beautifully furnished suites, all done in crisp whites and handsome fabrics, meticulously maintained and enjoying uninterrupted caldera views and private pools in every room. While the sophisticated surroundings and setting in the center of Ia lend an international air, the owners and managers are a local family who ensure a very high standard of traditional island hospitality. The infinity pool with partially submerged loungers and private cabanas is great place to soak up those volcano views.
