The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'blindingly white' renovation and the staff's ability to secure impossible sunset dinner reservations.
Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel
$600-1200+ / ليلة
احجز هذا إذا You want the OG Santorini cave hotel experience—freshly rebranded as 'Canaves Ena' in 2024—without the mega-resort feel of its larger siblings.
لماذا يحبها الناس
- The 2024 'Canaves Ena' renovation means everything is blindingly white and brand new
- Located at the very start of Oia, so you get the views without the worst of the cruise ship foot traffic
- The 'River Pool Suite' is one of the few truly private plunge pool experiences on the caldera
نظرة سريعة: It's the most intimate and 'authentic' of the Canaves empire, but you'll be walking next door for the gym and spa.
تمت المراجعة بواسطة @makingupforlosttraveltime: I've never felt more like a movie star than I did staying here. The private plunge pool is massive and the views are all yours. It feels incredibly exclusive and romantic. If you're planning a honeymoon, this is the spot where you splurge. Pure magic.
قال الضيوف الذين أقاموا هنا
Reality check
Some guests in lower-tier suites complained that their room doors opened directly into the breakfast area, causing morning noise.
- You want a 'boutique' feel (only 18 rooms) rather than a resort vibe
- You are physically fit and don't mind navigating steep, uneven stairs daily
- You prioritize a fresh, modern aesthetic over traditional rustic charm

Is the pool heated?
