Born from a century-old stone mansion resting between the cliffs and the Aegean, Bellevalia Hydra is a rebirth of an island classic. Once known as Four Seasons Hydra, the hotel enters a new era — one that celebrates the island’s quiet rhythm, the honesty of materials, and the beauty of simplicity.
With just seven suites, each space at Bellevalia is designed as a private retreat — shaped by light, texture, and silence.
Here, luxury is felt, not shown: in the linen, the calm, the morning scent of sea salt.
The mansion, standing gracefully for over a hundred years, anchors Bellevalia to its past. Surrounded by olive trees and overlooking the Plakes shore, it embodies the rare beauty of an island that moves at its own pace — unhurried, luminous, and true.
Our seafront tavern has been serving island soul food since 2005 — from freshly caught fish to recipes passed down through generations. Now reborn within the Bellevalia philosophy, it remains a meeting point where scent, sound, and sea merge into a single moment.
Hydra is unlike anywhere else. With no motor vehicles, life here moves to the quiet rhythm of footsteps, waves, and bells echoing through stone alleys. For decades, this rugged island has drawn artists, writers, and thinkers seeking truth in simplicity.
Leonard Cohen found his sanctuary here; Sophia Loren swam these same waters while filming Boy on a Dolphin; and generations of philosophers and visionaries have chosen Hydra for its rare blend of privacy and light. In every glance, every climb, every silence, Hydra offers a reminder — that beauty needs no embellishment.
