An Exclusive Seaside Retreat in Hydra

Born in 1880, Portadelmare is deeply rooted in the maritime soul of Hydra. Over the decades, the property has undergone thoughtful transformations, culminating in a meticulous renovation in 2008 that honoured its heritage while redefining it as an intimate destination of refined hospitality.

Natural stone and warm wood define the architecture, preserving the building’s authentic character and creating a sense of quiet elegance that transcends time. Originally, the estate belonged to a family of master boat builders, engaged in traditional fishing and maritime transport between Hydra and Metochi—an enduring connection to the sea that remains at the heart of Portadelmare’s identity.

Today, four independent suites offer an atmosphere of absolute privacy, serenity and understated luxury. Designed for discerning travellers, each space feels less like a hotel and more like a private residence, where simplicity, comfort and authenticity coexist in perfect balance.

Wellness unfolds naturally in the outdoor spaces, where selected spa amenities—including a jacuzzi, sauna and fitness area—invite moments of restoration and calm, framed by the island’s light and sea air.

Portadelmare is not merely a place to stay; it is an invitation to experience Hydra at its most authentic. Explore the island and its surrounding coastline aboard our premium, trusted boats, discover secluded coves with crystalline waters, and immerse yourself in the rich underwater world of the Saronic Gulf. With a touch of luck, you may even find yourself swimming alongside dolphins—an unforgettable encounter with nature.
