The Best Hotel in Mandraki, The Saronic Gulf Islands

Mandraki Beach Resort sits on the island’s only sandy bay—a quiet, adults-only outpost with a cinematic sense of seclusion. Housed in a 19th-century naval fort, its 17 suites are all clean lines, stone walls, and understated elegance—some with private pools, others with full sea views. Expect refined service, a polished beach setup, and inventive Mediterranean food with Asian flourishes. No cars, no crowds—just a taxi boat ride away from Hydra Town and a different pace entirely.
