Cliffside Sanctuaries

Dramatic stays perched above coastlines, mountains, and landscapes shaped by elevation and views.

Perched high above the sea, carved into rugged landscapes, or suspended along dramatic mountain edges, these cliffside stays are defined by their extraordinary settings. This collection brings together accommodations where architecture and landscape meet in unforgettable ways, from secluded coastal retreats to remote escapes with panoramic views in every direction.

Whether overlooking crashing waves, deep valleys, or endless horizons, these stays offer a rare sense of stillness, privacy, and perspective. Expect striking natural surroundings, open-air terraces, and spaces designed to make the most of their elevated position.

The Stays
On the caldera rim at Imerovigli, the highest point of the ridge between Fira and Oia, with an unbroken panorama of the submerged volcano and the Aegean.
A 19th-century military fortress on Mallorca’s Bay of Palma, converted into a clifftop hotel with seawater pools carved into the rock. Utterly singular.
An ultra-remote homestead in the rugged East Kimberley, accessible only by 4WD or helicopter. Ancient gorges, thermal springs, and no itinerary required.
Tiered whitewashed suites and infinity pools above the Aegean in Oia. Katikies is Santorini’s caldera view at its most refined and most coveted.
