Troglodyte villas suspended over the caldera, in the silence of adults-only Oia.
La Perla Villas and Suites - Adults Only
From
647.577 €
“Private pools carved into the volcanic rock, facing the most photographed sunset in the Cyclades.”
La Perla Villas and Suites occupies a string of troglodyte houses on the Oia cliff, adults-only. The suites are carved into the porous stone, whitewashed, with private terraces and infinity pools facing the Aegean Sea. We slept in a 45 m² villa, polished cement floor, king bed built into the alcove, light filtered through linen veils. The sunset from the communal pool justifies the trip on its own, from 648 € per night. Service is discreet, attentive without being intrusive. Airport shuttle included, private parking below the village. An address for honeymoons and anniversaries, not for families with children ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend La Perla to couples in their thirties and up, seeking romance without the kitsch. It's an address for honeymoons, wedding anniversaries, proposals on private terraces. Travellers looking for nightlife or beach nearby will pass it by, Oia is a museum village that empties after sunset.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The hotel occupies a series of 19th-century troglodyte houses, restored in 2015 respecting Cycladic architecture. Barrel vaults, 80 cm thick walls, polished concrete or old terracotta floors. The suites are staggered over three cliff levels, connected by staircases carved into the stone. Intimate scale, 12 units in total, all different in layout and view.
