When vacation, wellness, tradition and tranquility align in a harmonious co-existence.

In the beautiful island of Argosaronikos Gulf, situated in a small picturesque alley - between the island's capital, Dapia, and the beach of Aghios Mammas- stands a picturesque mansion of traditional Spetsian architecture, the elegant boutique hotel Yayaki Spetses.

Within its fine, stylish spaces of superb architecture, guests experience a unique combination of a luxury boutique hotel with family warmth. Yayaki Spetses opens its doors from April to November each year, offering visitors and nomads, more than just accomodation in the heart of Spetses. It is a peaceful space of enjoyment and well-being, where the emphasis is on personalized service and on the needs of each and every resident. Every service and activity at Yayaki Spetses is a personally tailored experience.

Yayaki’s creators, the couple Hannah and Karl, had the chance to transform their common vision into action. Initially co-students and their renowned Swiss hotel school of Glion, they began their life together and their professional career initially in London and Paris but along the way they consciously chose to make their idea feasible; marking a new kind of hospitality by bringing Yayaki to life just opposite the coast of the Peloponnese, on the magnificent island of Spetses.

Inspired by their Greek, German, Lebanese and French grandmothers, Yayaki (which in greek is a nickname for beloved grandma) became a space designed with tranquility, simplicity and the sense of discretion, inspired by the atmosphere of the island itself.

The guests are firstly welcomed by its exterior surroundings!

Its garden is a true nursery of aromatic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and thyme, ideal substances for the herbal teas offered.

Shortly after, crickets start twittering and they can be heard softly throughout the day. In the evening, silence reigns and guests can enjoy the music from the bar through the lounge playlist or they get the opportunity to relax around the pool and under the stars.

The Yayaki cuisine is full of original, tangy, ideas and imagination. Local, seasonal and piquant products, tomatoes, figs picked from the branch, Kalamata olives fresh from the market and others are always there awaiting to be tasted. A vegetarian breakfast is also part of the morning menu. All meals are full of local appetizers and delicious treats, such as The sweet Yayaki Pancakes or The Classic Yayaki French Toast.

Since 2024, Yayaki has become a hotel that gives back to its community, thanks to the owners’ non-profit organization, NISSIMOU (“my island”). Inspired firstly by their daughter’s needs, Nissimou is the first inclusive center created on the island, giving access to essential therapies to children and families, right here on their island. So when staying at Yayaki, when purchasing souvenirs from the shop, or ordering a delicious “Nissimou cocktail”, guests know that they participate in the hotel’s effort to do good!

Yayaki is an intimate guest house in a family atmosphere and it welcomes with intimacy its visitors on an island which stands full of historical treasures as heritage of the Greek Revolution and full of charm today due to its cosmopolitan aura and its sophisticated guests and visitors. Yayaki Spetses offers with generosity and finesse a uniquely personalized service to all of those who dream of a stay dedicated entirely to the art of well-being, recreation and also to the magic of the sea and nature.
