This haven of elegance and luxury is one of the biggest private villas on Santorini. Along the walking trail between Oia and Fira, this home sits in Imerovigli – a village of white buildings with blue domes cascading down the hillside. The exterior is an ode to Cycladian architecture, blending in with Santorini’s pristine white buildings. Cobbled paths lined with olive trees lead to the sprawling terrace, which has panoramic views of the caldera where the Aegean meets the horizon. Choose to spend your time in the shade of the pergola, on plush sofas, or cooling off in one of two swimming pools. There are myriad seating areas outside to enjoy the view, perfect with a sundowner from the bar (stocked daily).

Dining can be an indoor or outdoor experience, with glass sliding doors opening the space up to the terrace, and a fireplace keeps this spot warm in the cooler months. Breakfast is included. Inside, you’ll find two full kitchens so there’s no trouble cooking for the whole group. Lounge areas upstairs and downstairs let the group spread out, and are designed with nature in mind – think raw wood accents, earthy tones and boho-luxe furnishings. There’s also a gym if you want to keep on top of your fitness regime.
