The seaside bliss of our Hydra beach hotel
Sea, sun and beach are the mathematical equivalents of the Greek golden ratio. It is the ultimate Summer trifecta that draws people towards its array of islands. Of all, Hydra is one destination like no other - it has both vintage grandeur and a bohemian soul, it exudes a retro kind of charm and aristocratic elegance; and a heroic past that has gone down in the pages of Greek history. And all this, just a short sea journey from Athens port.
At this Argosaronic gem of an island, it is all about dialing back time and being present. In this sun-dappled corner of the world, life unravels effortlessly and you are called to do… nothing but unwind, relax, recharge and re-set.
And the perfect place to do so is none other than Mandraki Beach Resort; a beachfront luxury hotel in Hydra island that embodies the laissez-faire mentality of unrushed and unhurried moments. Here, you are invited to come, stay a while and simply be; soak up the glorious rays of the sun, sink your feet into the sand, and immerse into the bliss of the big blue that surrounds you.
In fact, it is the only Hydra beach hotel with an alluring sandy shore to call its own. The crystalline waters, chilled ambiance, and luxury services are a heavenly mix that promises a great experience characterised by elevated seaside bliss, so dive right into it.
Sun, Sand, and Serenity
The moment visitors set foot on Mandraki Beach in Hydra, they are greeted by a sense of serenity that instantly washes away the stresses of everyday life, like an ice-cold glass of water on a hot Summer’s day. The soft, golden sands invite guests to bask in the warm embrace of the Mediterranean sun. The beach is lined with elegant sunbeds and parasols, complimentary for our Hydra beach hotel’s guests. Whether it's working on getting a golden tan, reading a book, listening to your favourite podcast or music, or just watching the waves bob rhythmically along the shore, Mandraki Beach Resort offers an unrivalled experience on the island.
The Crystal Waters
The sweet serenade of the Aegean Sea beckons you into its turquoise, crystalline waters, that reveal the seabed below. Swimming here is absolutely delightful, since the beach emerges from a natural bay, protecting it from island winds. The gentle waters and absence of waves are perfect for those who prefer swimming in tranquil conditions; the sea that graces our Hydra beach hotel’s shore features both shallow and deeper areas. Its calmness makes it an ideal spot for snorkeling and exploring the colorful marine life, as the bay presents some interesting crevices and rock formations beneath the surface.
Seaside Delights
At Mandraki Beach Resort, the beach experience extends well beyond the sand and sea; it showcases culinary delight by the water's edge. Your seaside experience here comes with full beach bar service for meals and refreshments. Expect both comfort food with a dash of panache and Greek and Mediterranean flavours with a twist at the Hydra beach hotel’s Captain M Restaurant for Lunch & Dinner. Bookings are recommended as it is one of the island’s hottest new entries, curated by chef Ioannis Chatzis. Sushi lovers take note, as the bar is set high.
Yoga by the Sea
Those in search of meaningful connections with nature can namaste on the beach for a Yoga session with our experienced in-house instructor. These invigorating sessions by the sea can work wonders to even out your energy even more, helping you align your inner and outer through breathwork and harmonious movement. No matter your level, these yoga sessions can be adapted to beginners too. Combined with the gentle sound of the waves and the bay’s spellbinding setting, yoga by the sea at our Hydra beach hotel is sure to ignite a new kind of serenity within you.

Sunsets at Mandraki Beach Resort are a spectacle. Nature's light show is always complimentary, and guests are invited to attend the matinee special every day, with a mouth-watering cocktail or a glass of refined wine in hand. Marvel at the radiant hues of pink, yellow and orange as the eternal orb performs its daily rituals, before it paves the way for the moon to rise, and once again to be seen in the morning.
