Amaya Serenity

The Concept: Private sanctuary

Amaya Serenity is a 3-bedroom luxury canava villa with extensive private outdoor terrace and picture-perfect Santorini volcano view, as the villa faces into the caldera. The villa is your own private split-level sanctuary, located the beginning of the cliffside foot path into Oia, so in a few minutes you are in the heart of the village.

Outdoor

The traditional building has been resorted and modernized, while retaining the original canava features. As you enter from the cliff path down outdoor stairs, there is the terrace of the outdoor entrance of the upper level bedroom suite. Down to the lower level is the private pool and separate jacuzzi terrace with sunshade and day beds. The alfresco eating area with outdoor BBQ has a handmade stone table and dining chairs to the side on a raised level under a sunshade. The terrace has direct volcano and caldera views.

Interior Design

The upper level bedroom suite has a large master bedroom with king-sized bed and island style stone-built bathroom, and volcano views from the balcony. The lower level main building is a superb canava renovation with clean white lines and curved arches and in-built stone features, all the highest standard. As you enter the arches from the terrace, light floods into the living area with sofa and chairs and off this area are the kitchen and the 2 bedrooms with stone-built shower bathrooms. The genius use of the space and the dividing of the rooms is a stand out feature of the villa. Amaya Serenity villa offers you all the comforts of a modern home, with the extra luxuries of an indoor sauna and hammam!

Remember to

The black volcanic sand beach Baxedes is only 4 km away on the east coast, with palm leaf sunshades and sunbeds and the island of Anafi in full view. Call our concierge if you want more island insider tips for your trip.

Good to know

Canava in Greek is translated as cellar. The volcanic rock on Santorini was easy to carve into and the ancients made these caves with vaulted arches for storing wine. Each canava renovation is unique in shape and form and organically molded inside the cliffside rock.
