ArchitectureThe COCO-MAT Eco Residences complex, built in 1910, initially served as a shelter for the workers at the local iron ore mine. A few years ago, without changing the architecture and thus the original character of the buildings on the slope, the facility was converted into a modern holiday settlement that is operated according to contemporary ecological standards. The team has succeeded in creating maximum comfort and a relaxed feel-good atmosphere for the guests, while respecting the traditional, local construction. A great advantage of the hillside location and the division of all apartments over two floors is the sea view from every room and all terraces. Not only in the construction, but also in the simple, rustic and bright colors, the traditional style of the Cyclades is reflected and conveys authenticity and a typical Greek lifestyle. The light-flooded spacious rooms and the wide view of the bay create space for free thoughts, privacy and individuality. So stress and everyday worries are gone within seconds and make room for pure holiday feeling.

FoodWhat would a vacation in Greece be without getting to know the diverse Mediterranean cuisine in all its facets? The kitchen team at COCO-MAT Eco Residences is rightly proud of its imaginative creations made from fresh local ingredients and, depending on the season, always has new culinary surprises such as special types of fish or freshly picked figs ready for its guests. New recipes are combined with classics from traditional cuisine. On request, dishes can also be prepared vegetarian, vegan or for guests with food allergies. After a healthy, balanced menu, the bartenders in the beach lounge invite you to a café, refreshing cocktail or one of the famous Greek wines.

SocialThe COCO-MAT company, which is now represented in ten countries and on three continents, not only focuses on ecological but also on social responsibility and employs employees from 13 nations with different religious backgrounds, as well as refugees and people with disabilities. As the COCO-MAT Eco Residences hotel focuses entirely on its core business - accommodation and gastronomy - many local service providers on the island are involved in the operation for other tourist offers. From a day trip to a repair or laundry service, the hotel team is supported by a network of small, specialized providers. As far as possible, food and building materials are sourced directly from the island.

EnvironmentThe team at COCO-MAT Eco Residences is aware of its lucky location in one of the most beautiful bays in Serifos and the associated ecological responsibility. Therefore, the daily cleaning of the beach is as natural as the effort to minimize the environmental impact of the hotel's operations. This philosophy is also shared by the operating company COCO-MAT, founded in Athens in 1989, which uses 100 percent natural materials such as wood, cotton, coconuts, wool or natural rubber in the manufacture of the mattresses and bed linen used in the hotel, recycles water and uses chemicals as well as plastic. The success of the company proves that comfort and environmental awareness are not mutually exclusive: Throughout its history, COCO-MAT has already received a number of awards for the quality of its products or the Business Excellence National Award from the Ministry of Development.
