Greece and Spetses, have always had a special place in our hearts. After living
fast-paced lives in London and Paris, we chose to reconnect with the magical Mediterranean region, inherited from our families’ origins.
This is our story, growing up far, far away from big cities, closer to nature, bathing into the beauties of the Myrtoan Sea and waking-up every day with the crickets’ music.
Hannah pursued a career in digital marketing straight after graduation. This led her to work for some reputed companies such as Proximity BBDO, Apple EMEA HQ, Caprice Holdings. She later completed a Master’s degree from LCC in Public Relations and opened her own consultancy in 2015, HB DIGITAL.
Karl, with his extroverted personality, has always been more interested in hotel operations and guest relations. He enjoys working with people and meeting clients from all over the world and has been working in the industry for more than 15 years. His experience includes top five-star properties such as the Fairmont in Montreux, the Landmark and Grosvenor Casinos in London, Intercontinental Hotels in Geneva and Paris.
We believe hospitality is about more than great service. At Yayaki Spetses, each traveler is looked after as a family member, whom we are happy to see after long periods of separation.
This is an original approach, halfway between a luxury boutique hotel and a family guest house.
During your stay, our team will be your personal guides on Spetses, from April to October. We do our best for you to enjoy the unique features of our island and have a memorable stay. You love to cycle? We will find you a specialised bike for your island trips! You need to practice the piano for your next recital? We will find you a piano on the island that you can access easily! As part of the Yayaki Spetses experience, we also invite you to take part in some relaxing, joyful, adventurous or spiritual activities.
Discover your new destination for a romantic weekend, summer holiday, mini-moon, friends-moon, honeymoon, or a group trip, a retreat, under the auspices of the Greek stars, Gods and Goddesses.
Yayaki is an homage to our Greek, German, Lebanese and French grandmothers.
It is their deeply kind souls, lifestyles and wisdom that surrounded and nourished us.
What if Yayaki was also a little unconventional, gifted with humor and full of ideas?
Yaya means “grandmother” in Greek.
The “ki” is the sweet touch imagined by Hannah and Karl.
It is the little nickname Hannah used for the first time as a kid, to call her own grandmother.
More than a hotel, Yayaki offers travellers a loving home where you are invited to stay just like any member of our extended family.
