Vista Retreatin Pyrgos Kalistis, Santorini, Greece

Set high on the island’s slopes, this collection of four exclusive units blends contemporary Cycladic design with serene natural surroundings. With private grounds, sweeping sea views, and a sense of being "in the clouds," it offers a tranquil escape from the crowds and a unique perspective of Santorini.

Each villa opens to a secluded terrace with breathtaking sea views. Two feature infinity heated pools with sunken lounge areas, while the upper units include stone-built outdoor jacuzzies. Sun loungers, shaded dining spots, and al fresco seating areas provide privacy for each villa, while the lower poolside terraces offer room for gathering together. From every level, the panorama stretches across the Aegean, with the monastery above and, on clear days, the outline of Crete on the horizon.

The interiors are open-plan, with natural light, pale woods, and modern Cycladic styling. Spaces include kitchen and sitting areas, king-size beds with premium anatomic mattresses and pillow menus, and double bathrooms featuring walk-in rain showers, dual basins, and luxury bath amenities. Bathrobes, slippers, and thoughtful touches ensure comfort and relaxation. Every detail reflects understated luxury, blending style with ease of living.

Start the day with a breakfast prepared from the estate’s organic vegetable and herb gardens, with fresh produce also available for your own use. For local experiences, the concierge can arrange visits, activities, and dining tailored to your preferences.

Just above the estate sits Profitis Ilias Monastery, Santorini’s highest point at 567 meters. Visitors can explore its gardens and chapel, browse a small craft shop supporting the resident monks, and enjoy some of the most panoramic views on the island.
