Aenaon Villas

The DNA

Aenaon Villas – Where Santorini Touches the Sky
A Caldera-Top Sanctuary Merging Volcanic Heritage with Pure, Elevated Minimalism


The Highest Point, The Deepest Calm

Perched at Santorini’s highest and narrowest ridge, Aenaon Villas offers one of the island’s most cinematic vantage points. From this singular location, guests are treated to uninterrupted east-to-west views—sunrise over the Aegean, sunset into the caldera, and the volcano as a constant, sculptural presence. This is a stay defined by horizon and light.


Design – Volcanic Stone Meets Cycladic Clarity

Aenaon’s seven whitewashed villas are built with local volcanic stone, creating a design language that is at once traditional, elemental, and architectural. The structures appear to grow from the landscape itself—dazzling white volumes softened by organic textures, and minimalist forms anchored in ancient craft.

Inside, the design is elegant in its restraint: white walls, curated furniture, stone floors, and natural light do the heavy lifting. Each villa is fully equipped, with private kitchens, spacious interiors, and outdoor verandas leading to the hotel’s iconic infinity pool—a seamless edge between water, stone, and sky.


Atmosphere – Stillness, Space, and Santorini’s Soul

Aenaon Villas delivers luxury through silence and scenery, not spectacle. The experience is personal, intimate, and intuitive—perfectly suited for those seeking privacy and perspective. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time but gain a sense of place. Whether watching the light change over the caldera or floating in the pool with only the wind and sea below, every moment here is shaped by the island’s raw beauty and Aenaon’s quietly confident design.


DNA Hotels Verdict

Aenaon Villas is Santorini distilled: volcanic elegance, Cycladic purity, and architectural humility. It proves that less is not just more—but more meaningful. A destination for those who seek refined solitude, elemental luxury, and the feeling of being suspended between earth and sky.
