Villa Paradisus is an original sea captain’s house, now a luxurious Santorini vacation villa. Historically, captains built these homes in prime locations in Oia to oversee the bay of Ammoudi, keeping an eye on their ships and watching for pirates. Perched atop the cliffside, facing Oia castle and the bay below, Villa Paradisus offers upscale amenities for up to 8 guests, including an outdoor heated jacuzzi and stunning views, making it a true gem of the Cyclades with a fascinating history.


The villa's entrance level features a charming front terrace with a dining table and chairs, preserving the historic mansion's original outdoor space. A small private 'Aegean Balcony' on the first level provides a serene spot to relax and admire the views. The kitchen stairs lead to the large upper-level terrace, which boasts a bespoke stone-built heated jacuzzi, an alfresco lounge area, and a wooden deck with sofas, sun loungers, and an umbrella. The designer’s use of local wood and stone, along with sunset and volcano views, creates a uniquely enchanting Oia experience.


Renovated to the highest standards, Villa Paradisus interiors feature vaulted ceilings, hand-finished oak floors, antique pieces, and vintage chandeliers, offering a regal summer home ambiance. The entrance level includes spacious living rooms, two king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with modern conveniences and a stylish semi-outdoor dining table. The upper level offers two queen-size bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a loft kitchenette. Perfect for families or friends’ reunions in Oia Santorini, the villa provides private corners and comfortable spaces for moments of relaxation.


If you can tear yourself away from the villa’s haven, the black volcanic sand beach Baxedes is just 3.7 km away down the east coast, featuring palm leaf sunshades, sunbeds, and views of the island of Anafi.
