Nelya Suites

Nelya Suites is an authentic, luxurious hideaway located on a family estate on the caldera cliffs of Santorini. The unparalleled beauty of the sky changing colour, the breathtaking views across the island and the blue of the Aegean Sea will make you travel through your senses.

The name of Nelya is inspired by the two daughters of the family — Nefeli and Lydia. According to Greek mythology, Nefeli was the Goddess of Hospitality. Lydia comes from the "Lydian stone" (as it was called in ancient times) — a hard, black stone that was abundant in the region of Lydia. Through the Lydian stone, the Ancient Greeks discovered how to measure what we now call carats.

Nelya was the favourite vacation home of the family and they loved to gather here with friends to create lifetime memories. Since May 2022, they have been sharing it with guests. 

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a 280 sqm outdoor space where three independent suites are located. In front of the caldera cliffs are the Executive and Deluxe suites, each with its own private jacuzzi offering panoramic views across the island and the volcano. Both feature private outdoor spaces with built-in sofas and furniture that embraces the elegance of simplicity.

A path leads behind to reach the most private suite, the Grand Villa. It comes with a heated jet pool and an outdoor space with atmospheric lights that offers guests exclusivity. Designed for families, this suite has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and can comfortably accommodate four people. We accept children 13 years of age and over.
