Cadmus

The Concept: Family holiday with caldera views

Cadmus is part of four luxury cave house properties carved into the Oia cliffside, all with direct views over the caldera and the Santorini volcano, offering hotel-style services and amenities. This designer two-bedroom canava-style property includes an original staircase leading down into the cave house, with smooth white walls and high vaulted arches throughout the living space—a characterful Santorini cave house villa designed for an easy group stay.

Outdoor

The terrace acts as your private viewpoint over the volcanic scene, with a shaded alfresco dining spot for unhurried breakfasts and sunset meals. Just beyond, the oblong plunge pool sits behind a glass-panel balcony so the horizon stays clear from the water, the loungers, and the daybed. The layout is simple and well-considered, keeping movement easy between dining, lounging, and swimming—while the caldera remains the main focus throughout the day.

Indoors

Inside, the design keeps the island feel but leans clean and contemporary, pairing bespoke seating with cool-toned fabrics and thoughtful lighting. Both bedrooms are finished to a high standard, with premium mattresses and quality bedding for a cool, comfortable night’s sleep after long days in the sun. Each bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite rain-shower bathroom, plus a separate W/C, and light panel doors help define the spaces without closing them off.

Good to know

Cadmus is organically moulded into the cliffside rock in Oia, placing you close to the village’s boutiques, restaurants, and classic caldera-view spots. To keep things effortless, daily breakfast is served in-villa, alongside housekeeping and pool freshening, with our concierge team available for planning and local recommendations. Whether you’re considering a volcano cruise, tables for dinner, or transportation, the stay can be shaped around your preferences.
