OUR PHILOSOPHY

Birds Bay draws its name from the rich diversity of avian life that graces the island’s environment. The interiors of our suites and villas were meticulously crafted by a team of esteemed architects, and our gardens grown with long term sustainable thinking in mind. Both benefit not only human beings but everything around us, from bees to birds.

The property reminds us of the beauty of nature, and – the magnificent assemblages of aquatic birds, marine life intertwined with an impressive volcanic environment. Mirmigki Isle (Ant Reef) is just one of the islets where you may explore pristine flora and fauna if you stay at Birds.

Birds – Good to Know

The property is an easy 1 to 1.5 hour drive from Mytilene town. The suites & villas we have availabe are either, one or two bedroom that sleep two or four people. Both types are located on the coastline of the bay, which is home to a panoramic view that guarantees beautiful sunsets and the Aegean sea.

The saltwater infinity pool offers sweeping views of St George, Niseli Islets & Mirmigki reef and the UNESCO protected village of Molyvos (ancient Mythimna) with it’s Byzantine Castle that sits atop the village glimmering in the distance. Anytime is a good time to relax, have a splash or explore.

Birds Bay is surrounded mainly with perennial plants and fruit trees, along with local fresh herbs and spices. We believe that seeing plants respond to seasonal changes helps people come closer to the natural world. With our vegetable and herb gardens, full of tomatoes, local varieties of zucchini, peppers, aubergines and oregano – our ingredients can be picked fresh daily, and  enjoyed in meals served at the Bird Café by the pool. 

The breeze coming from the small islets across the bay sweeps harmoniously amongst the “off the beaten track” four acre location on the coast. Birds Bay is complimented by the sea slowly crashing at shore. In the warm silence, you can hear the faint ring of a bell, as sheep stray grazing along the shoreline. Savour ouzo by the sea, stare at the stars and the moon, or simply simply lay soaking in  Molyvos and Petra.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Molyvos, a picturesque village featuring a majestic Byzantine castle, unique suspended restaurants, cozy cafes, and a vibrant market showcasing handmade local products. For a rejuvenating experience, Eftalou beach, offers invigorating natural thermal spring bathings.

Explore the nearby village of Petra, a mere five-minute drive away, or a leisurely stroll along a pristine coastline, to witness the awe-inspiring historic church built upon a rocky outcrop.

Enjoy an early morning swim from our private access to the sea. Terrific clear seabed and plenty of small patches of natural pools where the sand runs in, and marine life dances amongst seagrass meadows. All you need to do is go down the path by the pool to splash into the crystal clear bay waters. We suggest you bring along water shoes, fins and snorkelling gear, so you can gently touch the natural world of the sea, – and dream underwater.
