With breathtaking views, intimate accommodations, and a blend of Cycladic simplicity and modern elegance, Yfēs Hotel offers a serene escape and a true taste of the Cyclades
Nestled gracefully on the sloping hillside of Flambouria Beach at Kythnos, Yfēs captures the timeless charm of traditional Cycladic villages. With its terraced design that mirrors the island’s natural contours, this exclusive retreat offers breathtaking views of the endless Aegean blue and the rugged, stark beauty of Kythnos. Comprising only ten rooms, Yfēs provides a unique haven for those seeking a more intimate and personalized stay.
Architectural Harmony and Minimalist Elegance
Inspired by the geometric forms and understated elegance of Cycladic architecture, Yfēs embodies simplicity and a commitment to essentialism. The use of local materials and techniques throughout its spaces creates an aesthetic that is both genuine and harmonious with the island’s landscape. Each room and suite at Yfēs—many featuring private jacuzzis—serves as a window to the vast blue expanse of the Aegean Sea. Inside, the principles of Cycladic simplicity are reimagined with a modern touch, offering a distinctive setting for relaxation that is unique to Kythnos.
Gastronomic Delights at Kēramos
Adjacent to the main pool of Yfēs lies Kēramos, the resort’s restaurant, which boasts uninterrupted views of the azure waters. This dining venue serves an all-day menu that draws inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Kythnos, emphasizing quality local ingredients. Here, breakfast is a rejuvenating experience designed to invigorate both body and mind. Guests can indulge in a variety of freshly baked breads and pastries, traditional pies, local cheeses, honey, and sweets from the island, setting the perfect tone for their day.
The Hidden Gem of Kryfō
One of the best-kept secrets of Yfēs is Kryfō. Accessible via a small path from the main pool level, this secluded spot leads to an old private dock once used by boats. Today, it has been transformed into a secret deck for two, offering an exclusive vantage point to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the bay, accompanied only by the gentle sound of waves.
Personalized Luxury and Genuine Care
At Yfēs, the hospitality experience is meticulously tailored to each guest’s preferences. The dedicated team at Yfēs strives to deliver a range of high-level services that meet personal desires. True luxury at Yfēs is about genuine care, attention to detail, and an authentic sense of hospitality that echoes the charm of the Cyclades in the “years of innocence”—the essence that made these islands famous worldwide.
Kythnos: An Unexplored Cycladic Paradise
Kythnos remains a true, unspoiled paradise, untouched by mass tourism. The island has preserved the authenticity of the Cycladic way of life, with its picturesque villages and over 90 secluded beaches waiting to be discovered.
Yfēs’ philosophy revolves around the harmonious coexistence with the landscape, a sense of symmetry, and a discreet, refined version of luxury. Exclusively crafted from nature’s offerings, in perfect harmony with its rocky surroundings, and with stunning sea views, Yfēs invites you to rediscover the authentic Greek hospitality in a way that only Kythnos can offer.
