Sun On Earth

Sun On Earth: Santorini

The villa is a striking vision of modernity in the heart of Santorini. It’s a short walk from the centre of Pyrgos, a charming hilltop town where you’ll find a handful of traditional tavernas, churches and some of the island’s famous wineries. The beautiful, quiet town of Megalochori is just a four-minute drive away and the island’s capital of Fira is an eight-minute drive.

From the sprawling terrace, you’ve got a front-row seat to the glorious Santorini sunsets over the caldera. At the golden hour, the earth-toned walls of this home practically glow and the swimming pool shimmers silver and gold. During the day you can soak up the rays on a beanbag lounger and double day bed, or gather around the outdoor dining table for a feast outside. We love the sunken seating area, hewn into the terrace and illuminated at night.

Inside, you can feel the inspiration from nature in raw wood accents, rusted steel and marble. A traditional stone sofa is piled high with cushions in the living room and the kitchen is a vision of sleek concrete with everything you could need for self-catering. The real surprise inside is the dedicated spa and gym, with a sunken Jacuzzi for a post-workout soak.
