The story
Perched on Oia’s main street, Canaves Oia Suites merges Cycladic minimalism with the island’s iconic cave architecture. In his video tour, creator Walk With Me Tim described it as a “stunning five-star cave hotel” with “incredible infinity pools” and a “beautiful pool suite,” praising the “exceptional service.” The property’s tags suggest a fine-dining, Michelin-starred restaurant with terrace views, though no specific dishes or meals are mentioned in the review.
Yet the price tag gives pause. Tim noted that 1,500 euros for one night “feels excessive,” putting the luxury in perspective. For travelers seeking a romantic, scenic hideout with historic-building charm, the suites deliver on atmosphere—just be prepared to pay a premium for that iconic Santorini cave experience.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- My pool suite is incredible — it's a proper infinity pool, not just a plunge pool, and the room is ultra clean with white marble, a comfortable firm bed, and original cave windows still preserved. The bathroom is huge with two rainfall showers and an echo that's fun to sing in.
Facilities
- The main infinity pool is stunning, with a view that goes on forever, and I have my own private sunbed area with a fan and speakers. The spa looks nice but was fully booked, and there's an art gallery in the caves.
Location
- The hotel is in Oia, the most expensive part of Santorini, with amazing views of the Aegean Sea and the caldera. It's right in the tourist strip but feels secluded.
Service
- The staff were brilliant — they knew every guest by name, which was a really nice touch. The dinner service was elegant and informative, with multiple waiters explaining each dish.
Breakfast
- Breakfast was an experience — a starter of pastries and breads with marmalades and butter, plus a choice of five juices. I went for the eggs and hash browns option, which was basic but good.
Value for money
- I paid 1509 euros for one night including breakfast, plus 4 euros tax. It's lovely but I think it's crazy to pay that much for a room, especially when you can only check in from 3pm and have to cram everything in.
