A harbour warehouse, reborn
Halcyra began with a derelict sail loft, a stubborn architect and a family that wanted to open the kind of hotel they would travel for.
Our story
Every beam kept, every room new
We spent four years restoring the loft with 38 local craftspeople.
The result is a small hotel with the bones of a working building: iron hooks, sail-cloth curtains, rope handrails and windows shaped like the arches of the old harbour.

What we believe
Four house rules
Hosts, not staff
Every guest has one host from booking to goodbye, with a name and a phone number.
Lighter stays
Solar roof, no single-use plastic, and 2% of every night to the harbour trust.
Local by default
Our suppliers are within 60 km, from the fish market to the linen weaver.
Rest is the point
Blackout, silence and a pillow menu. We measure success in lie-ins.

What guests tell us
“We came for one night and extended to four. The garden suite, the breakfast figs, the quiet: everything felt considered.”
