Hydra villa at sea

Mandraki, Hydra

Hydra life, right at the beach

five minutes to Hydra port

Where to start. It’s on Hydra, Greece’s most magical island. It’s 15 minutes walk, or 5 minutes by taxi boat to the port, so away from most tourist. It’s at the beach. Even with your own beach space. The location is everything. This will never come to market for years to come. To live (or host) at Hydra this close to the sea? Not possible. Till this house came to market. It needs renovation. It needs love. It needs Hydriotic craftsmanship. To turn the two main house and the separate studio into a true Hydriotic mansion. We have that team ready if you’re ready to start transforming the most unique property on the island.

The place needs a renovation. Renovating on Hydra is a job for specialist due to the difficulties in transportation. We have the best architect, expert in Hydra’s historic architecture, working on the island for years. They bring a team of local craftsmen to transform the house in to a Hydriotic house that the location deserves.
It can be a boutique stay or a family residence, or both.
We’re looking for a buyer with true love for Hydra that can work with the architect and it’s team to make something that will turn into a new Hydriotic landmark.

Disconnect on Hydra

The Mandraki beach villa is a unique property. Even for Hydra, where all properties are protected and no new builds are allowed. It sits right at a beach, with a charming taverna and some sun beds (some of them are exclusively yours). During the daytime in season the beach is alive but it’s low key and since Hydra doesn’t allow cars or motorbikes, the sounds are always nature or people having fun - or just the sea and the wind. In the evening, when the beach empties out, you have this part of the bay to yourself, to completely disconnect and stare of the sea and the mountains of the mainland.
