Hand of Hygieia

Hand of Hygieia: Aegean South

Slip into the Santorini state of mind at this peaceful villa with expansive ocean views. The traditional white-washed home is cool, calm and considered, rich in Cycladic curves that contribute to the restful island ambience.

Open heart, open mind – and most importantly, open home. Feel instantly welcomed by the luminous living area with an open-tread staircase and rounded arches leading into adjoining rooms. The decor is pared-back and minimal, kept down-to-earth with boho textiles and light-hearted wall art. If you thought interiors were impressive, wait until you see the private pool lined with inviting loungers. Follow up a morning of sunbathing with a trip to the on-site spa, where revitalising massages and natural treatments await.

Your Grecian home looks directly out at the azure Aegean Sea. The closest access point, Caldera Beach, is just a ten-minute stroll away – lay back and listen to the waves lapping on the sun-soaked shores. Nearby, the archaeological site of Akrotiri is also worthy of a visit. This Minoan settlement was buried under volcanic ash in 17 BC, preserving it to this day.
