The Petra

Petra Hotel & Suites is an adults-only boutique hotel in Grikos Bay, Patmos, where just eleven rooms arranged like a small village create a distinctly private, residential-style stay close to the water.

The layout feels more like a cluster of individual houses than a conventional hotel, with rooms set across a series of small buildings that step gently around the pool area. Pathways connect each space, giving a sense of separation while still keeping everything within easy reach, and avoiding any centralised or busy core.

The pool acts as the natural focal point, with the bar and dining areas positioned nearby, so movement through the property is simple and informal. The scale is key — everything is within a short walk, but spaced just enough to maintain a quiet, low-key atmosphere throughout the day.

Rooms & Suites

The eleven rooms and suites are individually positioned, each with its own balcony or terrace facing towards the bay. The layout leans towards open, comfortable living rather than formal structure, with higher-category suites adding more outdoor space, hot tubs or more elevated views.

Interiors combine traditional elements with more personal touches, including artwork by Greek artists, giving each space a slightly different feel rather than a uniform design approach.

Dining

There is one restaurant and one bar. The restaurant focuses on Greek cuisine with a simple, ingredient-led approach, starting with a breakfast built around local produce and continuing into a small, seasonal menu later in the day.

The poolside bar provides drinks and lighter options, keeping everything centred around one main social area without the need for multiple venues.

Experience

Days are centred around the pool and the nearby beach, with Grikos Bay just a short walk away. The setting is calm and sheltered, which suits the scale of the hotel and keeps the overall pace slow and relaxed.

There’s little in the way of structured activity on-site, with most guests using the hotel as a base for swimming, resting and occasional excursions around the island.

Wellness

A small wellness offering is available, including massage treatments, but the focus remains on the setting and overall atmosphere rather than a full spa experience.

Where

The hotel is located in Grikos Bay, around 70 metres from the beach, approximately 5 minutes by car from Skala and 8 km from Chora, placing it in one of the quieter parts of Patmos while still within easy reach of the island’s main areas.
