Suspended high above the Santorini caldera in the exclusive Akrotiri region, Cavo Ventus is a private clifftop wedding venue offering panoramic Aegean views, sleek multi-level architecture, and a rare sense of privacy. Designed around a 200-year-old stone windmill and carved into the volcanic rock, the estate is dramatic, photogenic, and has front-row seats to the island’s iconic sunset

A masterclass in contemporary Cycladic design, Cavo Ventus spans 1000 sqm of tiered terraces with unobstructed views over the caldera cliffs. Built for privacy, the venue is arranged across three separate outdoor levels, giving couples total freedom to shape their celebration in line with their own vision; from minimalist Mediterranean elegance to bold, high-concept styling.

The centrepiece of the estate is a historic 200-year-old windmill, carefully preserved and integrated into the grounds to add heritage and soul to the modern design. A full team of experienced hospitality staff ensures each event is executed to the highest standards, with impeccable Greek service and seamless logistics.

Weddings at Cavo Ventus are completely exclusive. You and your guests will have full use of the venue’s ceremony space, reception terrace, and late-night dance floor, each distinct in feel, yet cohesively designed to transition effortlessly through the day’s special moments.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies take place at the uppermost level of the estate, where couples exchange vows against a spectacular backdrop of the caldera, sea, and sky. The windmill adds a timeless character to the setting, creating a focal point that feels rooted in both tradition and place. This elevated stage is ideal for civil ceremonies, symbolic blessings, or vow renewals, and can be styled to suit everything from ultra-modern to classically romantic.

Uninterrupted views and soft golden light make this space a dream for wedding photography and videography, with sunsets that feel almost cinematic in scale.

Receptions

Following the ceremony, the second level of the venue becomes a setting for dinner and toasts. Long tables can be arranged under elegant chandeliers or open skies, with the caldera drop as your horizon. From floral-forward tablescapes to crisp minimalist layouts, the space is adaptable to all wedding aesthetics.

Once dinner concludes, guests descend to the third level – the party terrace. With its own fully equipped bar, ambient lighting, and space for a DJ or live band, it’s a dedicated celebration zone where guests can dance beneath the stars and soak up the Santorini night air. The venue’s open layout means couples can create a dynamic, flowing experience where every chapter of the day feels distinct yet connected.

While Cavo Ventus is primarily a venue, it also offers on-site villa accommodation for the couple or their closest guests. The villa includes:

  • Two bedrooms with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms
  • A spacious living area with views
  • Fully equipped kitchen
  • Private infinity pool
  • Expansive terraces and outdoor lounge areas

It’s a luxurious, intimate retreat designed for pre-wedding relaxation and the first quiet morning together as newlyweds.

Additional accommodation for guests can be arranged nearby, with luxury hotels and villas located throughout Akrotiri and the greater Santorini area.

Cavo Ventus partners with top-tier caterers on the island to offer fully bespoke menus built around your preferences – from refined Greek gastronomy to modern international dining. Whether you envision a plated dinner, shared mezze-style feast, or showstopping dessert station, everything can be tailored.

A full-service bar is integrated into the party terrace and staffed by professional mixologists, offering premium cocktails, curated wine lists, and seamless drinks service throughout your event.
