Nestled comfortably on the hillside of the medieval village of Pyrgos, the island’s highest village, and boasting a 270-degree wide panoramic view of the northern part of Santorini, Carpe Diem Exclusive Boutique Resort is renowned for its unique and minimal aesthetics.
Carpe Diem Santorini is an award-winning, adults-only, couples-only, ultra-private spa resort. Just ten suites, the island’s largest, individually designed and developed by the island’s most renowned engineer, the late George Kopatsaris, who since 1982 and until 2011 led most of hotel development in Santorini. On the property you will also find EXALTIS, our high end fine-dining restaurant, ALTHEA, our luxury spa, and an impressive wedding venue. To the present day, the resort has been run by the same family, maintaining the same core values of sustainable travel, warm hospitality and high-end luxury.
In the past we have been named World’s Best Relaxation Retreat (2018), World’s Best Honeymoon Hideaway (2017) and most recently we have been recognised with the Silver Award in the Best in Luxury Category the International Travel & Tourism Awards held at the 2019 WTM in London.

We believe that travel can play a major role in cutting global greenhouse emissions that contribute to climate change. Since our first year of operation in 2008, we have been global pioneers in sustainable hospitality. Today, we are one of the world’s first climate positive resorts, planting 10 trees for every reservation we receive on our website and offsetting all our carbon emissions. We are also running on 100% certified clean electricity from renewable energy sources.
Over the years we have also supported the work of exemplary organisations such as Doctors of the World Greece and Muscular Dystrophy UK; we believe there is nothing more important than giving back, and with the support of our guests, we have been able to raise thousands of euros worth of donations for these organisations.

Carpe Diem is the legacy project and brainchild of the late Georgios Kopatsaris, the renowned engineer who since 1982 and until 2011, led most of the hotel development on Santorini. Carpe Diem gave him the opportunity to develop a property with virtually no compromise on quality and features, purpose-built for the needs of the VIP luxury traveller.
Today his design values and unwavering commitment to quality remain more relevant than ever, while his unique way of life inspires to never settle for less, but to seize the day and work towards a truly lasting impact.
