Walk down the curved staircase at first light and the cove is yours — a strip of sand framed by rocks, the turquoise water still glassy. Villa Santorini sits on the eastern shore of Punta Minitas, where the headland opens toward Bahía Chavón and small boats track across the bay. Five bedrooms, ten guests, and an included cook handling all the meals. Built for two families or five couples who want a private beach without leaving the resort.
Mornings start with the first person down the curved staircase, the cove quiet at low light. By midday the group spreads across the property. A couple of people stay on the loungers down on the sand. Two more settle into the circular stone bench at the cliff edge, watching the boats from above. Someone reads in the shade of the open-sided palapa. The pool runs long enough that nobody takes turns. Inside, the long table seats ten without splitting the group across rooms. By sundown everyone's back at it, and the cove is quiet below.
Minitas Beach Club is a short cart ride west around the headland for the days you want chairs, food, and watersports waiting on the sand. The Marina sits just across Bahía Chavón for boat days and dinner. Teeth of the Dog and The Links are a quick ride inland for golf, the spa, or the tennis courts. Villa Santorini is the villa to book when you want a private beach to come home to and the rest of the resort a short ride from the door.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How does the beach work at Villa Santorini?
Villa Santorini sits on its own sheltered cove on the eastern side of Punta Minitas, with a curved staircase from the garden down to the sand. The beach is private to the villa and comes with sun loungers set under the palms. The water is calm and the swimming is direct from the shore. For the broader Minitas Beach Club — chairs, food and beverage service, watersports rentals, and the wider stretch of sand — that's a short cart ride west around the headland.
Q: Can Villa Santorini host a private dinner or party for a larger group?
Yes. The open-sided thatched palapa seats a group around white sofas and a low table with the sea right in front, and the long wicker table on the terrace handles full-group dining outside. An outdoor BBQ kitchen sits beside the pool deck for grilling, and the indoor dining table runs ten under wicker pendants if the weather turns. Tell the cook ahead of time for counts above the villa's standard ten and the menu scales up. The concierge can arrange additional waitstaff for larger events.
Q: How does Villa Santorini compare with the other beachfront villas in Punta Minitas?
Punta Minitas has three other CPH beachfront properties — Casa Minitas, La Plage, and Casa Bahia Azul — and all three face into Minitas Bay on the western side of the headland. Villa Santorini sits on the eastern shore, fronting Bahía Chavón, which gives it a sheltered private cove with rocky points at each end and an open-sea outlook toward the Marina. The art collection inside is the other clear difference: bold Caribbean canvases throughout the bedrooms and the great room, and a freestanding tub set against a raw coral rock wall in one of the bathrooms.
Q: What's the standout feature at Villa Santorini that's hard to find at other CPH villas?
The circular stone bench seating built into a teak-decked terrace at the cliff edge. It sits one level above the cove with a glass railing for the view, and it holds the group in a single curve facing the same way at sundown. The other distinctive piece is the coral rock wall behind the freestanding tub in one of the en-suites — a finish you won't see anywhere else in the portfolio.
