Welcome

Welcome to your peaceful sanctuary on Aegina Island—where four beautifully designed rooms open the door to sun-drenched mornings, sea-scented breezes, and timeless Greek charm. Nestled between pine-covered hills and the shimmering Saronic Gulf, each room is a private retreat infused with natural light and calm simplicity.

Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the terrace as the sun rises, or falling asleep to the soft lull of the Aegean breeze, these rooms invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, with yourself.

Here, time stretches. Beauty surrounds. And every moment becomes a memory worth keeping.

About Aegina

Once the first capital of modern Greece, Aegina has long been a jewel of the Saronic Gulf — home to poets, philosophers, and seafarers.

the light is different, golden, gentle, and healing
