Santorini, South Aegean, Greece · Canaves · High Luxury
Canaves Ena occupies the site where the Canaves story began: the original Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel, opened in 1993 inside 17th-century wine caves carved into Santorini's caldera cliffs. A full redesign rebranded it Canaves Ena, pairing the caves' natural stone with white minimalist interiors across 18 suites, each with a private veranda over the Aegean. The hotel remains part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
- 18 rooms
- Opened 1993

About Canaves Ena
- Canaves Ena stands on the original site of the very first Canaves hotel, which Yiannis and Anna Chaidemenos opened in 1993 by converting 17th-century Cycladic wine caves.
- The hotel underwent a full renovation around 2013 that stripped the caves back to soft curves and natural stone, in keeping with the original cave architecture.
- All 18 suites open onto private verandas over the caldera and the Aegean Sea.
History
Canaves Ena is part of the family-owned Canaves Collection in Oia, on the Greek island of Santorini. The Canaves story on the caldera cliffs traces to the opening of the original Canaves Oia Hotel in 1993, with subsequent renovation around 2013. The collection is affiliated with Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
The setting
Canaves Ena sits toward the northeast of Oia in Santorini. Oia is the caldera's evening theater: white cave houses, a sunset the island times dinner around, and a village that still moves on foot. Terraces and volcanic stone, then the steps down to Ammoudi when you want the water close.
