This hill-top sanctuary offers privacy and luxury for Greek sun-seekers

Santorini, with its famous black volcanic beaches, is one of the most desirable and glamorous of Greek destinations, and is favoured by politicians and celebrities alike.

It’s one of the beautiful Cyclades islands, and curves around a giant lagoon formed in 1620 BC when a volcano erupted under the island leaving much of it under water. There’s still an active volcano within the Santorini caldera, but it’s a boat trip away from the main island and hasn’t done anything terrifying since the 1950s.

Santorini sunsets are spectacular though, and with 270 degree views from each of its 10 individual villas, the hill-top hotel known as Carpe Diem could be one of the best places to soak them up.

And reeeelaax…

Carpe Diem is away from the touristy hustle and bustle but close to all the renowned sights, perched above the island’s highest village, Pyrgos. It won ‘World’s Best Honeymoon Hideaway’ in the 2017 Boutique Hotel Awards, and with a staff to guest ratio of 1:1 it offers a true VIP experience.

The ultra-private complex features 10 lavish suites, which are the largest on the island, and each with its own individual plunge pool. The hotel’s fine dining restaurant employs the services of renowned local chef Vasilis Zaharakis for the best in the island’s eclectic cuisine, while the Althea boutique spa has been specifically designed for couples seeking seclusion and romantic seclusion.

This outstanding luxury and unparalleled privacy has made Carpe Diem a favoured destination for CEOs, politicians, honeymooners and even royal families. You can find out more at www.carpediemsantorini.com
