Imagine opening your eyes and admiring the first light of dawn over the Aegean Sea right in front of you. Imagine savoring a carefully prepared breakfast in the morning, immersed in the peace and charm of an ancient windmill transformed into a luxury retreat. This is the enchantment awaiting those who choose to stay at Windmill Villas in Santorini: three unique residences, each independent and equipped with a private pool, blending the traditional character of Cycladic architecture with modern comforts and environmental sustainability. It’s the perfect experience to feel more than just a tourist: a conscious, privileged guest on a magical island.

Discreet luxury, sustainability, and services designed for regeneration

Windmill Villas is located between Fira and Oia, on the northeastern side of Santorini, in a quiet area that still preserves the island’s authentic magic. The three villas — Green, Lilac, and Blue (Master) — are built in the traditional windmill style, each with its own entrance, flowering garden, panoramic terrace, and, above all, a private pool with hydromassage jets.

Experience a green and luxurious stay in the most pristine nature of Santorini.

The interiors are designed to guarantee independence and absolute comfort: each windmill offers a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, high-speed internet connection, air conditioning, and daily cleaning service. In the morning, the day begins with an à la carte breakfast, served directly in the villa or in the outdoor lounge: a celebration of authentic flavors with homemade pastries, fresh fruit, Greek specialties, and dishes prepared on the spot.
Those seeking relaxation can indulge in a personalized massage, either by the pool or in the privacy of their villa.

Sustainability is an integral part of the philosophy of Windmill Villas, which reduces its environmental impact by reusing rainwater, focusing on waste separation, and using class A appliances. Guests can also rent bicycles, while the promotion of the local economy makes the stay even more responsible and mindful.

Fira and Oia, Santorini’s two gems, are both easily accessible from your retreat. Fira, the lively capital, is perfect for strolling through whitewashed alleys, artisan boutiques, and panoramic cafés. Oia is world-famous for its postcard sunsets. The trail connecting the two villages is a must.

A semi-private catamaran trip will take you to the caldera, the island’s volcanic area, and the hot springs — an unmissable experience for sea and nature lovers. You can also explore quieter beaches, especially those on the southern side of the island, accessible by excursions or local ferries. Windmill Villas’ concierge service will help you discover cultural experiences such as visits to Cycladic churches, wine tastings in inland wineries, craft workshops, and Greek cooking lessons.

Windmill Villas represents the perfect balance between discreet luxury, private intimacy, and environmental awareness. It is an ideal retreat for those who want to experience Santorini not as hurried tourists, but as travelers who savor every moment.
