Onar Andros

Discover serenity and adventure on island paradise Andros, with its cascading waterfalls, ancient paths and serene beauty, beckoning ocean lovers and history enthusiasts alike

Our philosophy inhabits each and every activity of ours. With our daily commitment to respect Andros’ nature ecosystem, our basic concern is the least possible intervention in the natural landscape. Building our Houses with natural local materials and preparing our meals with ingredients from our certified organic garden. Seeking ways for developing alternative forms of energy and ecological activities are pivotal pillars of Onar’s peaceful everyday life near nature.

Our dream takes place in Andros, the Northern and second in size island of the Cycladic complex. Known as Hydroussa (‘watery’) in ancient times, Andros is a historic heaven on Earth.

Traversed by four rivers, it’s a fertile island: waterfalls and springs are abundant, marble lions spout ice-cold mineral water, streams signposted by colorful oleanders run from the mountains and cross with ancient stone bridges and footpaths. If you seek serenity, you will find it through the peaceful rhythm of the surroundings while exhilarating outdoor activities are waiting for the most sportive souls.

The old pathways of Andros, the monasteries, the picturesque villages and the island’s long history and rich cultural heritage invite you on a journey of discovery.

Our property is ideal for families with children, offering a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. Surrounded by the pristine beauty, it provides a safe and engaging environment for kids to explore nature, while parents can enjoy a relaxing and worry-free stay.

Food at Onar is prepared on the spot with fresh products from our organic garden, local farmers and fishermen. On Special nights our chefs, through their creations and live grills, bring glimpses of the magnificent Greek cuisine to you. A myriad of delicious vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, artichokes, zucchini, eggplant, apricots, grapes, cherries, figs, yogurt, feta and goat cheese, a variety of herbs and seasonings as oregano and cilantro, fish, shellfish and chicken are some of our healthy and exquisite ingredients of our cuisine.

Your Hosts - Mateo & Teo

Every summer Mateo’s family would go to Andros Island for vacation in a beautiful old family house. Coming with friends for years after solidified his love for the island, growing deeper with each visit. The place had an amazing beach with huge fields, gurgling ponds, and waterfalls – it was just something exceptional.

When he decided to move back to Greece, he knew that he had to find his own special piece of land on which to build a farm. He wanted to use natural materials to build with and only create a few structures on the land. When he started looking for the right place to make his dream come true, Andros was the first place in his mind.

He offers guests a taste of the simple life, reminiscent of his cherished childhood memories. Onar embraces nature in a secluded setting, offering a truly laid-back experience. In this amazing, unspoiled location on Andros, the land is the same as it was 200 years ago because it’s a protected national park for the wetlands, rare animals and plants that live there. Mateo tries to make guests feel as if they are his friends staying at his home. It’s a small retreat with only a few people there at one time. Many people come back again the next year together with the friends they made here.

Our insights..

Transparency is essential if we are all going to grow and improve together and this is why we have dedicated this section to sharing what we love about each place and its hosts. We work with each of our hosts to improve their guest experiences, sustainability practices and local impact, this is where you can learn more about that along with what still needs to be improved, the measures being taken to ensure our hosts continue to move forward and every now and then we’ll come back to update you on their progress.
