Our wish to offer a different holiday option, something that would stand apart from the standardized large tourist units, led us to create a new chapter in the hospitality industry: A real village spread over an area of 20.000 square meters of enchanting natural environment – free of any essential intervention – in Mastichari of KOS island.
The philosophy of our creation is for the resident of this village to feel the atmosphere of a village, to live and savor nature and, if he so wishes, to participate in rural approaches to daily activity without having to forgo the comforts of modern living. Here, enjoyment of one’s personal space does not interfere with the potential to participate in social activities with other "villagers".
OUR VILLAGE
Our village’s name is "SEAGULL’S BAY". The name was inspired by our natural clay beach which is only 500m away and embraced by seashell rocks and serves as a shelter for seagulls. The village is located about 3 km from Mastichari, 3km from Antimachia, 3km from the airport and 24 km from the town of Kos. The region’s name is Kyparissos and is full of herbs. It is believed that in antiquity Hippocrates initiated his students at Kyparissos following a particular ritual. In any case, one thing is certain: the locale inspires special sentiments.
At the construction phase we paid particular attention to maintenance, protection and preservation of the natural environment and wild life. For example, all preexisting arkeuthos trees - a species of cedar that thrives only in Kos - were left intact. The architecture is in complete harmony with the environment proposing only to add a pleasant and cheerful note to the landscape.
Our settlement is built on hillsides and the building structures stand on seven asymmetrical levels staring at the Aegean Sea.
The village covers an area of 20.000 square meters and is comprised of three "neighborhoods" (the Upper, Lower and Central neighborhood) that include : 18 three-story lodges - each with its own garden -, the hospitality hall, the reception area, the restaurant, the bar, the tea bar, the boutique, the library, the day care center, the massage and aromatotheraphy facility and the swimming pool.
Our ranch is in itself an additional special note to the settlement and is open to visits. It features a vineyard, domestic animals, fruit-bearing trees and a vegetable garden, all adhering to biological specifications. All the produce is of course delivered and used in our kitchen.
OUR BEACH
The beach is about 500 meters from the main hotel. It may be accessed on foot by crossing the lush flower-covered fragrant hills, by bicycle or by car. Once there, one will discover our gulf with its seashell covered golden rocks that extend over an area of one kilometer. The powdery sand is gives the impression of walking on a thick carpet. In a certain region of the gulf one may take advantage of the beneficial qualities of clay. And the sea water? It is not simply clean, but certified crystal clean. Children and adults can swim, fish and play fearlessly in the water. The northwestern winds that blow periodically create ideal conditions for surfing and wind surfing.
