Pylaia Boutique Hotel is a hillside retreat overlooking Livadi Bay, where expansive sea views and close proximity to both the beach and Astypalea’s Chora create a stay that feels effortlessly balanced between relaxation and island life.

The setting unfolds across a series of low-rise buildings that step gently down the slope, allowing each space to take full advantage of the open outlook across the Aegean and surrounding coves. Whitewashed exteriors and softly contoured lines reflect the island’s architectural language, while the overall layout introduces a sense of openness and separation, ensuring privacy without losing the connection to the wider setting. The result is a composed, contemporary environment that feels easy to settle into, shaped as much by light and position as by design.

Staying

Rooms and suites are notably spacious, with a focus on comfort and understated ease rather than decoration. Interiors are kept clean and uncluttered, allowing natural light and the surrounding views to take prominence, while private balconies and terraces extend the living space outdoors. Higher-category suites introduce additional scale and features such as private pools or jacuzzis, offering a more indulgent take on the same relaxed, residential feel.

The restaurant enjoys a particularly privileged position, with views stretching towards the castle and across the sea, creating a naturally atmospheric setting for both daytime and evening dining. The menu brings together Mediterranean and international dishes in a straightforward, accessible style, while the bar provides an easy-going space for drinks, whether by the pool or as the sun begins to set over the island.

Experience

Two outdoor pools sit at the heart of the property, offering ample space to unwind while taking in the surrounding landscape. A well-equipped spa adds another dimension to the stay, with a hammam, whirlpool and a full range of treatments providing a more restorative counterpoint, while additional touches such as a small boutique shop and organised excursions, including private boat trips, introduce variety without disrupting the overall sense of calm.

Wellness

The wellness offering is centred around a dedicated spa space, where treatments, massage therapies and relaxation facilities are complemented by a hammam and whirlpool, creating a setting designed for slower, more restorative moments.

Where

Positioned around 300 metres from Livadi Beach and approximately 200 metres from the centre of Chora, the hotel offers both immediate access to the island’s main attractions and uninterrupted views across one of Astypalea’s most scenic coastal settings.
