WHY STAY

Carved into the foot of a sun-kissed cliff on the tranquil island of Thirassia, Perivolas Hideaway offers an ultra-exclusive alternative to Santorini’s high-traffic caldera. Thirassia was separated from Santorini during the historic volcanic eruption of 1613 BC, leaving it an untouched, peaceful sanctuary. Accessible only by sea or helicopter, the property feels like a private island retreat, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and complete solitude directly across from Oia.

The estate spans four luxurious bedroom suites, accommodating intimate groups in total privacy. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the light-filled interiors open onto expansive sea-facing terraces, private lounge areas, and a stunning infinity seawater pool. Guest spaces feature arched doorways, organic stone finishes, and minimalist Cycladic furnishings that mirror the serenity of the surrounding waters.

Originally built on the site of an 1850s pumice mine, the property was meticulously transformed by the Psychas family—the visionaries behind the Perivolas Hotel. The design respects the historic industrial structures while elevating them into a contemporary masterpiece. Wellness centers on private water sports facilities, in-villa massage and spa treatments, and the absolute tranquility of having a private beach and dock as your personal playground.

WHY WANDER

While the Hideaway is built for absolute retreat, guests can board the estate's private boat to explore the hidden coves and sea caves of Thirassia. Trek up the quiet island trails to traditional villages like Manolas, where time has stood still, offering a rare look at authentic Cycladic life far removed from mass tourism.

Across the narrow channel, the vibrant energy of Santorini awaits. On-demand private boat transfers make it effortless to zip across the caldera for a day of shopping in Oia, hiking along the caldera rim, or visiting historic wineries before returning to the sanctuary of Thirassia.

On the water, the surrounding Aegean serves as a private playground. Guests can indulge in scuba diving, sea kayaking, paddleboarding, or jet-skiing directly from the property’s private dock, or charter a day-cruise around the volcanic islets of Nea and Palea Kameni.

INDULGE IN

All-inclusive, fully personalized dining prepared by a dedicated private chef. Enjoy tailor-made Mediterranean menus crafted daily from handpicked local market ingredients, featuring wild-caught Aegean fish, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and artisanal Cycladic cheeses paired with top-tier Santorinian and Greek wines.

GETTING THERE

Perivolas Hideaway is accessible via a short, 10-minute private boat transfer from Santorini's Ammoudi Bay or Athinios Port. For direct arrivals, the property features its own private helipad on Thirassia.

WILD INITIATIVES

Perivolas Hideaway was developed using low-impact architectural restoration, preserving the historic 19th-century pumice mine structures and integrating them seamlessly into the natural cliffside. The property prioritizes sustainable water usage, eco-conscious energy management, zero-plastic operations, and strict marine preservation around its private coastline to keep Thirassia’s delicate ecosystem pristine.
