Why Mykonos
Mykonos has earned its place as one of Europe's most sought-after island destinations, combining beautiful beaches, luxury hotels and a vibrant social scene with the timeless appeal of the Cyclades. Whilst often associated with glamour and nightlife, the island's enduring popularity is equally rooted in its scenery, architecture and unmistakable atmosphere.
Mykonos Town remains the island's focal point, where whitewashed streets, iconic windmills and waterfront terraces create one of Greece's most recognisable settings. Boutiques, galleries and restaurants occupy a maze of narrow lanes designed centuries ago to shelter residents from the wind, whilst Little Venice provides one of the island's most celebrated gathering places.
Beyond the town, a coastline of sandy beaches and sheltered bays offers a very different side of the island. Some attract an international crowd drawn to beach clubs and lively afternoons by the sea, whilst others remain surprisingly peaceful. Combined with exceptional hotels, stylish villas and a reputation for attracting visitors from around the world, Mykonos delivers an island experience that feels more international than almost anywhere else in Greece whilst remaining unmistakably Cycladic.
Signature Collection
Myconian Avaton Resort
Set high above Elia Beach, Myconian Avaton offers a five star stay defined by open views, space and a quieter position away from the island’s busier pace. The hotel is spread across a steep hillside, with each level facing directly out to sea, creating a constant sense of openness from the moment you arrive. The elevation does most of the work, with uninterrupted views across the bay and a feeling of being slightly removed from the movement below. Pathways, terraces and pool areas are arranged in layers, giving the property a more private feel than its size might suggest. There is a noticeable shift in pace here compared to the south coast hotspots. While Elia Beach brings activity and energy, the hotel itself remains calm, with enough distance to keep things controlled without losing access to the coastline. para-2 Rooms and suites are built around their position, with terraces and outdoor space forming a key part of each layout. Sea views are a defining feature, particularly in higher categories, where the perspective across the bay becomes a constant part of the stay. Private pools and outdoor jacuzzis appear across many of the upgraded options, creating more self-contained spaces, while the overall approach to interiors keeps things straightforward and comfortable. The focus is on space and usability rather than overworking the design. para-3 Panorama is the main restaurant, positioned to take full advantage of the elevated setting, with Mediterranean cooking that leans towards fresh, seasonal ingredients and a strong emphasis on seafood. Breakfast is served here as well, making the most of the early light across the bay, while the poolside bar carries the rest of the day with lighter dishes and drinks, allowing guests to stay within the same spaces without needing to move far. para-4 The pool areas are positioned to mirror the horizon, creating a natural focal point for the day, with enough space around them to avoid feeling busy. From here, access down to Elia Beach is straightforward, opening up one of the island’s longest stretches of sand along with beach clubs and watersports. The contrast between the elevated calm of the hotel and the activity on the beach works well, giving guests the option to move between the two without committing to either for the entire day. para-5 The thalassotherapy spa is a key part of the hotel, centred around seawater treatments and supported by indoor facilities and a full treatment programme. A fitness centre and concierge arranged experiences, including boat trips and island exploration, add to the overall offering. para-6 Located around 10 kilometres from Mykonos Town, Myconian Avaton suits those looking for space, views and a more measured pace, with the option to access the island’s main areas when needed.
From £175 per night
Myconian Panoptis Escape
Set above Elia Beach, Myconian Panoptis Escape, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is a villa led retreat built for privacy, where each stay is centred around its own pool and uninterrupted Aegean views. The hotel is arranged as a series of standalone villas across a hillside above Elia, with each unit positioned to face the sea and remain separate from the next. There are no long corridors or central blocks, instead the layout moves between private spaces and a small shared core around the pool and restaurant. Most of the experience happens within your own villa, with the wider hotel acting as a light framework rather than the main focus. para-2 Accommodation is entirely villa based, ranging from one bedroom options through to larger multi bedroom layouts, all built around outdoor living. Each includes a private pool or outdoor jacuzzi, with terraces used as the main living space, set up for dining, lounging and long periods outside. Interiors are simple and functional, designed to support the outdoor space rather than compete with it, with layouts that prioritise privacy and ease over decorative detail. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant and one bar. The Restaurant focuses on Mediterranean cuisine using local ingredients, served in a sea facing setting, while the bar supports this through the day with drinks and lighter options either poolside or delivered to the villas. para-4 The main pool and terrace form the only shared social space, though most guests remain within their villas for much of the day. Elia Beach and Agrari Beach are both close by, with water sports and beach clubs easily accessible. Activities such as snorkelling, diving and boat trips can be arranged, but the pace here is generally slower, with the focus staying on space and privacy. para-5 Wellness includes spa treatments, yoga and a fitness setup, supported by a gym, offering a full but understated wellness layer that fits the scale of the property. para-6 Located around 600 metres from Agrari Beach and approximately 12 kilometres from Mykonos Airport, the hotel sits on the quieter side of the island, with Mykonos Town reachable by car when needed.
From £370 per night
Aeonic Suites & Spa
Set just above Korfos Beach, Aeonic Suites & Spa offers a calmer side of Mykonos, where the island’s energy is close enough to dip into, yet the atmosphere within the hotel feels composed, spacious and quietly confident. The design is disciplined but never cold. Crisp white forms are softened with stone, marble and warm oak, creating a tactile contrast that gives the spaces real depth. Terraces open naturally towards the light, and the layout encourages an easy flow between inside and out, so the whole property feels settled rather than styled. There is a sense of restraint throughout, with nothing unnecessary competing for attention. para-2 The all suite setup gives the hotel a more residential feel, with 40 suites designed around privacy and space. Many include private pools or hot tubs, which quickly become central to how you spend your time here. Interiors are deliberately pared back, using texture and proportion rather than decoration to create comfort. Sea view suites stand out in particular, not for excess, but for how naturally they frame the horizon, especially in the slower morning hours. para-3 Dining revolves around one main restaurant and two distinct bar spaces, giving just enough variety without overcomplicating things. Cove Restaurant delivers a more refined take on Greek and Mediterranean cooking, best enjoyed in the evening when the terrace settles into a quieter rhythm. During the day, the Cove Bar and Kyano Lobby Bar handle everything else, from early coffee through to late cocktails, keeping the experience fluid rather than structured. para-4 The atmosphere encourages you to slow down without forcing it. The infinity pool becomes the natural centre of the day, with generous space around it and no sense of crowding. When you do head out, Mykonos Town is close, but returning here always feels like stepping back into something more measured and considered. para-5 The Genesis Spa continues that same tone, focusing on treatments that feel restorative rather than performative. A hammam, sauna and fitness area complete the space, giving it enough substance without shifting the balance of the hotel. para-6 Located around 200 metres from Korfos Beach and just over 3 km from Mykonos Town, the setting offers easy access while maintaining a sense of separation. Mykonos Airport is approximately 4 km away.
From £255 per night
Casa Del Mar Mykonos Seaside Resort
Set on a private stretch of Glyfadi Bay, Casa Del Mar Mykonos Seaside Resort offers villa-style living with direct beach access and a quieter setting just a short drive from Mykonos Town. The layout is built around a small collection of low-rise residences positioned close to the water rather than spread across a large resort footprint. There is no sense of scale for the sake of it here, just a series of villas arranged to give each one space, privacy and a clear view out to sea. The setting feels sheltered and settled, helped by its position away from the more exposed parts of the island. Movement through the property is simple and informal. You are either at your villa, by the beach or moving between the two, which keeps the stay focused and easy to navigate. It feels more like staying in a private coastal enclave than a traditional hotel environment. para-2 Accommodation is entirely villa-based, with options ranging from two to multi-bedroom layouts, making it particularly well suited to couples travelling together or small groups. Each villa includes separate living areas, fully equipped kitchens and large outdoor terraces that are designed to be used throughout the day. Private pools or jacuzzis feature in many of the villas, but it is the overall outdoor space that defines them. Dining areas, loungers and open views mean most of your time naturally shifts outside, with the interiors acting as a comfortable base rather than the main focus. para-3 Dining is centred around one restaurant, Del Mar Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean dishes with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. There is also one bar, providing drinks and lighter options throughout the day. The setup remains flexible. Many guests make use of private chef services within their villa, which suits the layout well and keeps the experience personal. Meals often shift between the restaurant, the terrace and the villa itself rather than following a fixed routine. para-4 The private beach is the main draw, set directly in front of the villas with sunbeds arranged along the sand and calm water just steps away. It offers a quieter alternative to the more crowded beaches on the island, and most days revolve around moving between the beach and your own terrace. There is no large central pool area, which reinforces the more private feel, but the beach and individual villa pools more than cover that. Watersports such as snorkelling are available, while the concierge team can arrange boat trips and wider island experiences when you want to explore further. para-5 A spa and wellness area includes an indoor pool, hammam and treatment spaces, while a gym is also available, adding a practical option for guests staying longer. para-6 Located around 4 km from Mykonos Town and the airport, and approximately 1.5 km from Ornos, the hotel offers a more secluded base with straightforward access to the island’s main restaurants, beaches and nightlife.
From £270 per night
Myconian Utopia Relais & Chateaux Resort
Set 100 metres above Elia Beach, Myconian Utopia Relais & Châteaux is built around its position on the hillside, giving you open Aegean views and direct access to one of the island’s most relaxed beaches below. The hotel follows the natural slope above Elia, with rooms and villas placed across different levels rather than grouped together, so the view stays clear and uninterrupted throughout. Paths step down towards the main pool and restaurant, and the layout keeps movement simple without forcing everything into one central hub. Shared areas face outward towards the sea, while the spacing between accommodation keeps the overall atmosphere quiet even when the hotel is full. para-2 Rooms, suites and villas are all built around outdoor space, with terraces used as the main extension of the living area. Most face directly towards the bay, while higher categories add private pools or outdoor jacuzzis that make it easy to stay entirely within your own space. The larger villas shift the stay further towards a private setup, with more internal space and wider terraces, while the entry level rooms still retain the same orientation and access to the view. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant and one bar. Pavilion Restaurant focuses on Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on local produce, set above the bay so the view carries through the entire experience, while the bar supports this with drinks and lighter options around the pool and into the evening. para-4 The infinity pool sits at the core of the hotel, positioned to face directly out across Elia Bay and used from early morning through to sunset. The beach is a short walk below, where water sports, beach clubs and a longer stretch of sand offer a different pace to the hillside setting. Days tend to move between the pool, private terraces and the beach below, with boat trips and other activities arranged when needed rather than driving the stay. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms and a hammam, supported by a gym, giving a complete wellness setup that fits naturally into the stay without dominating it. para-6 Located above Elia Beach on the south coast, around 12 kilometres from Mykonos Town and the airport, the hotel is better suited to those who want to stay by the beach with space around them, using the town as an option rather than the focus.
From £200 per night
Grace Mykonos
Grace Mykonos sits above Agios Stefanos Beach, offering a smaller, adults only stay with uninterrupted views across the Aegean and a noticeably calmer pace than many of the island’s larger hotels. Following its recent renovation, the hotel feels clean, balanced and easy to settle into, with a layout that naturally draws everything towards the pool terrace and the open sea beyond. The scale works in its favour, keeping distances short and the atmosphere personal, with no sense of crowding even when the hotel is full. There is a quiet confidence to the way it is put together. Nothing feels overdone or decorative for the sake of it, and the focus remains firmly on comfort, light and the view, which is present from almost every part of the property. para-2 The 25 rooms and suites are arranged across several levels, each one positioned to make the most of the outlook. Balconies and terraces are standard, and in many cases open directly towards the sea, giving the rooms a strong connection to the setting. Higher categories introduce heated plunge pools, which shift the experience towards something more private and self contained. Interiors are simple and well judged, with space used properly and nothing included that does not add to the overall feel of ease. para-3 There is one main restaurant, Grace Restaurant, serving contemporary Greek and Mediterranean dishes, supported by one bar that runs alongside the pool area. Breakfast is served à la carte and sets the tone for the day, with plenty of time and space to linger. Lunch and dinner follow the same approach, focusing on fresh ingredients and straightforward dishes, while the bar keeps things moving from daytime drinks through to early evening without turning into a full nightlife scene. para-4 The pool terrace is the centre of the hotel, with a layout that encourages long afternoons without needing to move far. Sunbeds are well spaced, service is consistent, and the view does most of the work. Agios Stefanos Beach is just a short walk away, giving easy access to the sea, while the concierge team can arrange boat trips, beach visits and island experiences for those looking to explore further. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms, steam facilities and hydrotherapy elements, offering a quieter space away from the pool, while a small gym provides a practical option for those wanting to keep active during their stay. para-6 Located around 100 metres from Agios Stefanos Beach and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel combines easy access to the island with a setting that feels slightly removed from its busiest areas.
From £140 per night
Myconian Korali Relais & Chateaux Hotel
Set just above Mykonos Town, Myconian Korali, a five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel, offers a more refined, elevated base that keeps the energy of Chora within easy reach while maintaining a clear sense of space and separation. Arranged across a gently rising hillside, the hotel looks out over the town, the Aegean and across to Delos, with a position that changes character as the light shifts through the day. The layout is open and well spaced, centred around a calm pool terrace and framed by wide views, giving it a more composed feel than many of the island’s more overtly social hotels. para-2 Rooms and suites bring a more individual look, with colour used deliberately through fabrics and detailing to lift otherwise clean, pared-back spaces. Private terraces are a consistent feature, many with uninterrupted sea or town views, while higher categories introduce private pools or outdoor jacuzzis that extend the sense of space. The overall approach feels considered without being overworked, balancing comfort with just enough character to avoid feeling generic. para-3 Baos is the hotel’s main restaurant, where Mediterranean cooking is handled with more precision and attention to detail, in line with its Relais & Châteaux positioning. Kitrino Bar sits alongside the pool terrace and carries the dining through the day, with drinks and lighter dishes served in a more relaxed setting that naturally shifts into the evening. para-4 The pool area is designed as a quieter counterpoint to the town below, positioned to take full advantage of the views while keeping a sense of calm. It’s a space that works well for long afternoons, with enough room to feel settled rather than transient. From here, Mykonos Town is within easy reach, making it simple to move between slower days at the hotel and evenings out in Chora without any real effort. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities are well integrated, with a full treatment offering, indoor spaces and a proper fitness area. Concierge-led experiences, from boat trips to island touring, are handled efficiently and fit naturally into the overall stay. para-6 Located around 1 kilometre from the windmills and Little Venice, Myconian Korali is well positioned for those who want immediate access to Mykonos Town, but prefer to stay just outside it in a setting that feels calm, structured and more grown-up.
From £175 per night
Myconian Ambassador Relais & Chateaux Hotel
Set just above Platis Gialos, Myconian Ambassador delivers a five star stay with direct access to one of Mykonos’ most in-demand beaches while holding onto a quieter position above it. The hotel is arranged across wide, open terraces that face directly onto the bay, with uninterrupted views across the Aegean and a constant sense of movement from the beach below. The layout keeps everything visually connected, with the pool, dining areas and lounge spaces all positioned to take full advantage of the setting, while still allowing enough space between them to avoid any feeling of crowding. There is a natural ease to how the hotel works. Guests drift between the pool and the beach without overthinking it, and the elevated position means you are always slightly removed from the busiest parts of Platis Gialos. That balance is what makes it work so well. para-2 Rooms and suites are designed to make the most of their position above the bay, with private terraces forming a key part of each space. Sea views feature heavily across the categories, and the elevated setting ensures they feel open rather than overlooked. Higher categories introduce private or shared pools and outdoor jacuzzis, giving more scope to stay within your own space, but even the entry level rooms feel well judged in terms of layout and comfort. Nothing feels forced or overdesigned, which suits the hotel. para-3 Evenings are centred around Efisia, where the focus is on Mediterranean cooking that leans heavily on seafood and well-sourced ingredients, served in a setting that looks straight out across the bay. It is the kind of place where dinner becomes part of the evening rather than just a stop in it. Breakfast is handled separately at Latitudes, with a broad spread that mixes local dishes with more familiar options, while the poolside bar carries everything through the middle of the day with light food and drinks that keep guests where they are rather than pulling them away from the terrace. para-4 The pool terrace is the main anchor point, positioned to take in the full sweep of Platis Gialos and designed for long, uninterrupted time rather than short visits. From here, the beach is only a few minutes away on foot, making it easy to move between the two depending on the mood. Watersports, boat connections and nearby beaches such as Psarou, Paranga and Agia Anna are all within easy reach, giving the hotel a strong link to the south coast without needing to relocate each day. para-5 The Thalasso Spa is a more serious addition than you find in most Mykonos hotels, built around seawater treatments and supported by indoor pools, therapy areas and a full treatment programme. A fitness centre and on-site diving centre add further depth for guests staying longer. para-6 With Platis Gialos directly below and Mykonos Town a short drive away, the hotel offers one of the more practical locations on the island for combining beach time with access to restaurants, nightlife and the wider coastline.
From £125 per night
Boheme Mykonos Hotel
Set just above Mykonos Town, BOHÈME is an adults-only retreat known for its uninterrupted sunset views towards Delos and a quieter atmosphere within walking distance of the centre. The hotel sits slightly back from the main flow of the town, which immediately softens the pace. There is less noise, more space between areas, and a layout that allows you to move easily between your suite and the main terrace without feeling part of the town’s constant movement. The elevated position keeps the view in front of you throughout the stay, with the rooftops below and the sea beyond forming a consistent backdrop. The main terrace acts as the heart of the hotel, where most of the shared spaces come together. It is open and outward-facing, built around the pool and dining areas rather than enclosed courtyards, which keeps the atmosphere light and connected to the setting from morning through to evening. para-2 All accommodation is suite-based, with each one opening onto a private terrace or balcony facing the sunset. The interiors are kept simple and comfortable, with enough space to settle in properly without overcomplicating the layout. The emphasis is on how the rooms are used rather than decorative detail. Higher-category suites include outdoor hot tubs or heated plunge pools, which naturally become the focus of the space, particularly later in the day. Even without these additions, the terraces play a central role, giving every suite a strong connection to the outside and making it easy to spend time there without feeling the need to move elsewhere. para-3 Dining is centred around one restaurant and one bar, both positioned on the main terrace overlooking the sea. The restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes across the day, with a focus on straightforward, well-executed plates rather than a complicated menu. The bar sits alongside, providing drinks and lighter options from morning through to evening. As the sun drops, this area becomes the natural gathering point, with the view doing most of the work and the atmosphere remaining relaxed rather than shifting into anything overly lively. para-4 The pool is the main daytime space, set at the centre of the terrace and framed by loungers facing the view. It is where most guests spend their time, moving between swimming, sunbathing and the bar without needing to plan the day. Megali Ammos Beach is within walking distance, offering an easy alternative to the pool, while Mykonos Town sits just a few minutes away on foot. This makes it simple to move between the hotel and the town depending on the mood, without needing transport. para-5 A dedicated treatment room provides massage and wellness treatments, while a gym is also available for guests looking to keep some routine during their stay. para-6 Located around 300 metres from Mykonos Town and Megali Ammos Beach, the hotel is well placed for exploring on foot, with Mykonos Airport approximately 2 km away.
From £175 per night
Myconian Naia Preferred Hotels & Resorts
Set above Mykonos Town, Myconian Naia, a boutique member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, offers a smaller, more private stay with wide Aegean views and a quieter position just outside the centre. The hotel sits on a secluded hillside above Chora, with uninterrupted views across the town, the Aegean and towards Delos, and a position that feels elevated without ever being disconnected. With just 18 suites, the scale is deliberately limited, which keeps the atmosphere calm and the main pool terrace comfortably spaced throughout the day. The layout is compact and easy to navigate, with a natural flow between suites, terraces and shared areas that gives the hotel a more residential feel, where the focus is on settling into the space rather than moving through it. para-2 The suites are individually designed, drawing on a mix of textures, artwork and more sculptural elements rather than a single uniform style. This gives each space its own identity, while still maintaining a consistent level of comfort and finish throughout. Private terraces are central to how the suites are experienced, most opening to uninterrupted sea or town views, while selected categories introduce outdoor jacuzzis or private pools that extend the living space and reinforce the sense of privacy. para-3 Naros Asian Fusion Restaurant leads the dining, bringing a more contemporary direction that blends Mediterranean and Asian influences, with a clear focus on flavour and execution rather than formality. The setting looks out across Mykonos Town and the Aegean, becoming part of the experience as the light shifts into evening. The pool bar supports this through the day, serving cocktails and lighter dishes in a relaxed setting that keeps everything centred around one core area. para-4 The infinity pool is the focal point of the hotel, positioned to take full advantage of the elevated setting and uninterrupted views. With fewer guests, the space remains calm and well balanced, making it easy to settle in for longer periods. Mykonos Town is within easy reach, allowing for a straightforward transition between quieter time at the hotel and evenings out in Chora, without losing the sense of retreat on return. para-5 The spa and wellness offering includes a full treatment menu, alongside hammam, sauna and a fitness area, adding a more complete layer to the stay. Concierge led experiences, from yacht trips to island exploration, are handled smoothly and fit naturally into the overall pace. para-6 Located around 1 kilometre from the windmills and Little Venice, and approximately 2 kilometres from the airport, Myconian Naia is well suited to those who want proximity to Mykonos Town, but prefer to stay somewhere smaller, quieter and more private in feel.

Belvedere Mykonos Hilltop Complex Rooms & Suites
Set just above Mykonos Town, Belvedere Mykonos Hilltop Rooms & Suites offers a more private base with open views across the rooftops and Aegean, while keeping the centre of town within easy reach on foot. The Hilltop sits slightly removed from the main Belvedere hotel, which immediately changes the feel of the stay. There is more space between buildings, less movement, and a quieter atmosphere that feels closer to a residential setting than a central hotel. Paths lead out to open terraces and viewpoints, with the town spread out below and the sea beyond, so the setting remains visible wherever you are. This separation works well. You have distance from the busier side of Mykonos, but without losing access to it. The layout gives you a place to retreat to rather than somewhere that is constantly in motion, which is not always easy to find this close to the centre. para-2 The 26 rooms and suites are positioned to take full advantage of the view, each opening onto a private terrace or balcony. Inside, the approach is simple and comfortable, with clean finishes and enough space to settle in without overcomplicating the design. The focus stays on how the rooms are used rather than how they look. Higher categories bring in private pools or outdoor jacuzzis, which make a noticeable difference here given the position above town. Even in the standard rooms, the outdoor space plays a big role, with mornings and evenings naturally spent outside rather than indoors. para-3 Dining at the Hilltop itself is limited to one venue, Magic Garden, where breakfast is served in a more secluded setting reserved for guests staying in this part of the hotel. For anything beyond that, the main Belvedere complex expands the options, with two restaurants and bar spaces available. Matsuhisa Mykonos focuses on Japanese Peruvian cuisine, while the Belvedere Pool Club offers a more relaxed, all day dining option. Bars across the main hotel provide drinks throughout the day and into the evening, giving a broader mix of settings without needing to leave the property. para-4 There is no pool directly within the Hilltop area, which keeps it quieter, but guests have full access to the main hotel facilities. This includes the pool at the Belvedere, which becomes the main daytime space for swimming and lounging. Beyond the hotel, Mykonos Town is within walking distance, making it easy to move between the two depending on mood. Days can be spent by the pool or out exploring, while evenings naturally shift into the town’s restaurants and bars before returning to a quieter setting. para-5 The Belvedere Spa and fitness studio are located within the main hotel and available to Hilltop guests. The spa includes treatment rooms and wellness facilities, while the gym provides a straightforward option for those looking to keep some routine during their stay. para-6 Located around 500 metres from Little Venice and approximately 1 km from the Archaeological Museum, the Hilltop sits just above Mykonos Town, with Mykonos Airport around 2.7 km away, making both arrival and exploring the island straightforward.
From £300 per night
Cavo Tagoo
Just outside Mykonos Town, Cavo Tagoo is one of the island’s most recognisable hotels, known for its dramatic cliffside setting and uninterrupted views across the Aegean towards Delos. The layout follows the natural drop of the hillside, with a series of terraces stepping down towards the water, each one positioned to make the most of the view. Walkways connect the different levels in a way that feels fluid rather than formal, with open viewpoints appearing at every turn. The sea is always present, whether you are moving through the property or settled into one of its quieter corners. There is a noticeable shift in atmosphere as the day unfolds. Mornings are calm and unhurried, centred around the light and the views, while by late afternoon the energy builds around the main pool area. By sunset, the hotel takes on a more social feel, with guests naturally gathering in the same spaces that were quiet just hours earlier. para-2 Rooms, suites and villas are spread across the hillside, with many built directly into the rock, giving a strong sense of privacy. Layouts vary, but the emphasis is consistent, with space, natural light and outdoor living all given equal weight. Private pools, cave style plunge pools and outdoor hot tubs feature across many categories, and they are not just add-ons but central to how each space is used. Even the entry level rooms maintain a connection to the sea, while the larger suites and villas introduce more seclusion and scale for longer stays. para-3 There are two main restaurants, Meraki Restaurant and Zuma, offering Mediterranean and Japanese dining respectively, along with one main bar centred around the pool area. Breakfast is served with a clear view across the water, keeping the pace relaxed, while evenings shift towards Zuma and the bar, where the atmosphere becomes more lively without losing its sense of place. The setting plays as much of a role as the food, particularly as the light fades and the terraces fill. para-4 The infinity pool is the focal point of the hotel, positioned so that the water appears to merge directly with the horizon. The adjoining aquarium bar adds a distinctive edge, becoming the main social hub as the day progresses. There is no beach on site, but the pool and surrounding terraces more than compensate. Beyond that, the concierge team can arrange yacht charters, transfers and island experiences, making it easy to move between the hotel and Mykonos itself. para-5 The Cavo Tagoo Golden Spa includes an indoor pool, hammam, sauna and a full treatment menu, with a gym located alongside for those who want to keep a routine during their stay. para-6 Located a short drive from Mykonos Town and around 5 km from the airport, the hotel offers quick access to the island’s restaurants, nightlife and beaches while maintaining a more elevated position above the coastline.

Concierge led experiences, from yacht trips to island exploration, are handled smoothly and fit naturally into the overall pace. para-6 Located around 1 kilometre from the windmills and Little Venice, and approximately 2 kilometres from the airport, Myconian Naia is well suited to those who want proximity to Mykonos Town, but prefer to stay somewhere smaller, quieter and more private in feel.

The Coast Bill & Coo
On the quieter stretch of Agios Ioannis Beach, Bill and Coo Coast Suites, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, offers an adults only stay focused on space, privacy and direct access to the sea, within easy reach of Mykonos Town. The hotel is laid out along the shoreline rather than rising above it, with suites positioned to face the water and connected by simple paths that run parallel to the beach. This keeps movement straightforward, with the sea always in view and never far from any part of the property. Shared spaces are set at sea level, with the pool, restaurant and bar all facing outward, so the focus remains on the coastline rather than internal areas. The scale is controlled and the layout avoids unnecessary transitions, giving the stay a steady and consistent pace. para-2 The 25 suites and single villa are built around outdoor living, with terraces forming a core part of each layout rather than an addition. Seating areas and water features extend the usable space beyond the room, shaping how time is spent day to day. Suites with plunge pools or hot tubs offer a more private setup, while the larger Grand Suites introduce full pools and wider terraces, creating a more self contained experience without shifting the overall tone of the hotel. para-3 Dining is structured across three restaurants and one main bar. YĒVO focuses on Mediterranean cuisine in a more formal setting, Beefbar Mykonos centres on premium cuts and seafood, while COOZEST provides a more relaxed beachfront option. The bar operates alongside these spaces throughout the day and into the evening, keeping everything within the same part of the hotel rather than spreading it across separate areas. para-4 The sea level pool and beachfront terrace form the main daytime setting, with guests moving easily between sunbeds, the water and their own suites. The layout encourages staying in place rather than circulating around multiple areas. Agios Ioannis Beach sits directly in front, while Mykonos Town remains a short drive away, making it easy to step out in the evening while keeping the daytime pace slower. para-5 Wellness is centred on massage treatments and a compact fitness space positioned close to the water, keeping everything aligned with the rest of the layout. The approach is practical and integrated, supporting the stay without dominating it. para-6 Located around 4 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and roughly a 10 minute drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel suits guests who want direct beach access with a quieter base while keeping the island’s main areas within easy reach.
From £595 per night
Katikies Mykonos
Katikies Mykonos sits above Agios Ioannis, delivering an adults only stay defined by wide Aegean views, privacy and a level of polish that feels immediate without ever becoming overdone. The hotel unfolds across a series of stepped levels that follow the natural line of the hillside, with terraces and walkways linking each space in a way that keeps the sea constantly in view. There is a natural rhythm to how the property works, with open areas flowing easily into one another and enough space between them to avoid any sense of crowding. It feels settled and balanced, with a quiet confidence that comes from getting the fundamentals right rather than trying to impress. The atmosphere shifts gently through the day. Mornings are calm and unhurried, afternoons centre around the terraces and pools, and by evening there is a soft lift in energy without it ever becoming dominant. It is a place that feels composed at all times, with everything working in a way that feels easy and instinctive. para-2 The suites are arranged to make the most of both privacy and outlook, each opening onto a terrace with uninterrupted sea views. Space is used well, giving each room a sense of openness without feeling excessive, and the layout encourages time spent both inside and out. Private pools and outdoor jetted tubs feature across many categories, becoming part of the everyday experience rather than something reserved for special occasions. Even the more straightforward rooms maintain a strong sense of seclusion, with clean interiors that keep the focus on the setting rather than unnecessary detail. para-3 There are four main dining and bar spaces: Botrini’s Mykonos, Mikrasia, Upper Deck Lounge and Lower Deck Lounge, along with the Fleur de Miraval Champagne Bar. Botrini’s Mykonos brings a more refined Mediterranean approach, while Mikrasia introduces a menu influenced by Byzantine cuisine, giving the dining offering more depth than many hotels on the island. The Upper and Lower Deck Lounges keep things more relaxed through the day, serving lighter dishes and drinks, while the Champagne Bar adds a more polished setting as the evening settles in. para-4 The two infinity pools sit at the centre of the hotel, positioned to look directly out towards the sea, and naturally become where most of the day is spent. They are designed for long, uninterrupted time rather than constant movement, with plenty of space around them to keep the atmosphere controlled. There is a social element, particularly later in the day, but it remains measured. It never tips into something overwhelming, which allows the overall tone of the hotel to stay consistent. para-5 The A.SPA provides a quieter setting for treatments, alongside a fitness centre, giving a balance between relaxation and activity without feeling like a separate part of the hotel. para-6 Located around 500 metres from Agios Ioannis Beach and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel offers easy access to the island while holding onto a more private, elevated position above the coastline.

Absolute Mykonos Suites & More
Positioned just above Mykonos Town, Absolute Mykonos Suites & More is a contemporary five-star boutique retreat that places you within easy reach of the island’s energy while maintaining a more composed, elevated setting overlooking the Aegean. The design takes a modern approach to Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed forms, sharp lines and open terraces arranged to capture light and sea views. The layout is centred around the main pool, creating a natural focal point, while the overall feel remains structured and polished without becoming overly formal. There’s a clear balance here — close enough to the town to feel connected, but just removed enough to create a more controlled, relaxed environment. para-2 The 32 suites are designed with space and ease in mind, following a consistent contemporary style. Clean lines, neutral tones and uncluttered layouts keep the focus on comfort rather than excess, with indoor spaces flowing naturally out towards terraces and balconies. Higher-category suites, including the Absolute Suite Jacuzzi Sea View and Supreme Suite Sea View, add outdoor jacuzzis and more elevated positions within the property. It’s these details — rather than dramatic design — that lift the experience, particularly given the views. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant, Aegealis, which focuses on Mediterranean and Greek cuisine in a relaxed, open-air setting, complemented by a bar-led offering that shapes the social side of the property. The Skyline Bar plays a key role, particularly in the evening, with cocktails and sea views creating a more social atmosphere without becoming overly busy. With Mykonos Town just a short walk away, the broader dining scene naturally becomes part of the experience as well. para-4 The pool area acts as the main daytime hub, offering a straightforward, comfortable space to unwind. Beyond that, the location does much of the work — beaches, nightlife and the town’s cultural points are all within easy reach. The overall experience is flexible rather than prescriptive, allowing you to move easily between quiet time at the hotel and the more energetic side of Mykonos when you choose. para-5 A compact wellness area includes a hammam, sauna and treatment rooms, alongside a fitness space, providing a functional addition rather than a destination feature. para-6 Located within walking distance of Mykonos Town, the hotel sits approximately 600 metres from the windmills, 800 metres from Little Venice and around 2 kilometres from Mykonos International Airport, making it one of the more conveniently positioned options on the island.
From £130 per night
Domes Noruz Mykonos
Domes Noruz Mykonos sits just above Agios Stefanos, offering an adults only stay that shifts from laid back days into a more sociable, music-led atmosphere by evening. The layout is spread across a series of low-rise buildings that follow the natural slope of the land, with open walkways linking rooms to the central spaces without ever feeling crowded. The views open out across the Aegean, and there is a constant sense of air and light moving through the property. Everything is easy to navigate, with the pool naturally drawing you in as the focal point from the moment you arrive. The mood changes as the day unfolds. Mornings are slow and quiet, built around coffee, breakfast and time spent outdoors, while by late afternoon the tempo begins to lift. Music, movement and a steady flow of guests around the pool give the hotel its character, but it never tips into anything chaotic. para-2 Rooms and suites are set up to feel open and connected to the outside, with terraces or private outdoor areas forming a key part of the layout. The styling is clean and comfortable, with a focus on space rather than decoration, allowing the setting to do most of the work. Higher category options introduce private pools or hot tubs, which change the way the space is used, turning the room into more of a self-contained base. Even in the simpler categories, the outdoor element remains strong, so the experience never feels enclosed. para-3 There is one main restaurant, Antonino's Italian Restaurant & Bar, serving Italian cuisine, alongside two bars that carry the social side of the hotel from day through to night. Dining is informal and geared towards sharing, with menus built around lighter dishes and fresh ingredients. The bars become more central as the evening builds, with cocktails, music and a livelier atmosphere shaping the night without overwhelming the space. para-4 The main pool is where most of the day is spent, with loungers, music and service all centred around it, making it the natural hub of the hotel. It is as much about atmosphere as it is about relaxing, particularly later in the day. Agios Stefanos Beach is within easy reach, giving a straightforward option for time by the sea, while the hotel also offers access to nearby nightlife and beach clubs through its concierge. Events, live music and evening entertainment add another layer, reinforcing the social side of the stay. para-5 The on site spa offers a range of treatments, supported by an open air gym and regular yoga sessions, giving a quieter option away from the main pool when you want to step back from the energy. para-6 Located around 600 metres from the coast and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel gives quick access to beaches, restaurants and nightlife while sitting slightly away from the busiest parts of the island.
From £150 per night
Palladium Boutique Hotel
Set between Psarou and Platys Gyalos, Palladium Hotel is a small scale five star stay that combines close access to Mykonos’ most active beach scene with a more contained, service focused base. The hotel is arranged across a compact hillside plot, with buildings stepping gently upwards from the road and linking through short pathways rather than wide open terraces. This keeps distances minimal and the layout easy to navigate, with most spaces centred around the pool and main terrace rather than spread across separate zones. The structure gives the hotel a clear sense of organisation, where rooms, dining and shared areas sit within close reach of each other. It feels more contained than many larger properties nearby, with a consistent flow between spaces that supports a more relaxed, manageable pace throughout the day. para-2 Rooms and suites follow a straightforward layout, with private balconies acting as the main extension of the space and providing either sea or garden views. The design is consistent across categories, with a focus on comfort and ease rather than variation between room types. Higher categories introduce private pools or outdoor hot tubs, which shift the emphasis towards outdoor living and add a more self contained feel for longer stays. The overall setup works well for guests who want reliable space and layout rather than something overly styled or complex. para-3 Dining is built around one main restaurant and multiple bar options. La Veranda leads the main dining with Mediterranean cooking, covering breakfast and evening service in a single setting rather than splitting it across venues. The lobby bar and poolside bar provide drinks and lighter options throughout the day, giving flexibility without overcomplicating the structure. Additional options such as the snack bar and in room dining support this, creating a complete but straightforward setup that works without needing to leave the hotel. para-4 The outdoor pool terrace acts as the central space, set up for full day use with sunbeds, bar service and easy access to dining areas. An indoor heated pool adds a second option, which is useful outside peak summer months or for quieter use. Both Psarou and Platys Gyalos beaches are within a short walk, making it easy to combine time at the hotel with beach clubs, restaurants and water based activities. Days tend to move between the pool, the beach and short trips out, rather than being limited to one setting. para-5 The spa provides a full indoor setup with treatment rooms, hammam, sauna and hot tub, alongside a gym for regular use. This gives the hotel a more complete wellness offering than many smaller properties in the area, with enough depth to support longer stays rather than just occasional use. para-6 Located around a 5 minute walk from Psarou and Platys Gyalos beaches and roughly 10 minutes by car from Mykonos Town and the airport, the position places you close to one of the island’s busiest beach areas while keeping a degree of separation from it.

Nomad Mykonos
Set just above Kalo Livadi Beach, Nomad Mykonos, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is a small scale, adults only stay built around private outdoor living and a quieter side of the island. The hotel is laid out as a collection of just 14 suites, spread across a low rise footprint that avoids the feel of a central resort. There is no dominant main building or layered terraces, instead the focus is on individual space, with pathways leading directly to each suite and only a small number of shared areas. This layout keeps movement simple and controlled, with most of the experience centred on private terraces rather than communal zones. The pool and restaurant sit as secondary spaces rather than focal points, so the atmosphere stays calm even when the hotel is fully occupied. para-2 Suites are built around their outdoor areas, with private terraces acting as the main living space. Most include private pools or hot tubs, along with seating and dining areas that shift the focus outside for most of the day. Interiors are pared back and functional, designed to support the layout rather than define it. With only 14 suites, the scale keeps everything consistent, and privacy is maintained across all categories. para-3 Dining is centred on one restaurant and one bar. Kukulu Bar Restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a focus on Greek and Mediterranean cooking, keeping the setup simple rather than varied. The bar sits alongside it, handling drinks and lighter dishes throughout the day and into the evening, without the need for additional venues or formal dining shifts. para-4 The shared pool and terrace provide the only communal space, set up for relaxed daytime use rather than a social scene. Most guests spend their time within their own suite, using private pools or terraces instead. Kalo Livadi Beach is around 600 metres away, offering a wider beach setting when needed, while activities such as boat trips and island exploring are arranged through the concierge rather than based on site. para-5 Wellness is handled through treatments, yoga and fitness sessions rather than a full spa facility, with a gym also available on site. This keeps the focus on private downtime and flexible use rather than structured spa experiences. para-6 Located around 600 metres from Kalo Livadi Beach, 6 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and approximately 10 kilometres from Mykonos Town, the setting suits those who want distance from the centre with easy access by car when needed.
From £220 per night
Mykonos Soul
Set on the quieter edge of Agios Stefanos, Mykonos Soul Luxury Suites is a small scale stay focused on privacy, sea views and outdoor living rather than resort facilities. The hotel is arranged as a low rise collection of suites set along the coastline, with each unit positioned to face out towards the sea rather than around shared central spaces. Movement through the property is simple and direct, with no large public areas or layered terraces, so the emphasis stays on individual space rather than a communal atmosphere. The layout keeps the experience contained and quiet. Instead of multiple venues or social zones, the focus sits on private terraces and a single pool area, which gives the hotel a more residential feel and a slower pace throughout the day. para-2 Suites are designed around their outdoor areas, with terraces doing most of the work in how the space is used. Sea views are a constant, and higher categories add infinity pools, plunge pools or outdoor hot tubs that turn the terrace into the main living area. Interiors are clean and pared back, supporting the layout rather than competing with it, with space used efficiently across all categories. The smaller room count keeps the overall feel consistent and quiet. para-3 Dining is limited to breakfast service and one bar rather than a full restaurant setup. Breakfast is served to order with a choice of continental and vegetarian options, keeping things flexible rather than structured. The bar handles drinks and light bites through the day, with no separate evening restaurant, so most guests either stay casual on site or head out to nearby beach spots and Mykonos Town. para-4 The main pool and terrace provide the only shared space, set up for low key daytime use with uninterrupted sea views. There is no beach directly on site, but Choulakas Beach is around 500 metres away, with Agios Stefanos Beach also within easy reach. Days here tend to revolve around time on the terrace, the pool and short trips out, with concierge support for car hire and island exploring rather than on site activity. para-5 Wellness is limited to in suite treatments and massage rather than a full spa setup, with no large indoor facilities or dedicated wellness areas. This keeps the focus on privacy and in room downtime rather than structured spa use. para-6 Located around 2.5 kilometres from the new port, 3.7 kilometres from Mykonos Town and 5 kilometres from the airport, the hotel suits those who want a quieter base within easy reach of the island’s main points rather than staying directly in the centre.
From £165 per night
Mykonos Blu A Grecotel Resort To Live
Set directly above Psarou Beach, Mykonos Blu, A Grecotel Resort places you on one of the island’s most high profile stretches of sand with a layout that keeps the focus on the beach, the bay and the constant movement below. The hotel is arranged across a stepped hillside that drops towards Psarou, with bungalows and villas positioned along winding paths that lead down to the main pool and private beach area. This creates a clear sense of progression through the property, with higher levels feeling more private and the lower levels more connected to the social side of the beach. The scale is larger than most boutique options on the island, and that shows in how the spaces are distributed. There is more room to move, more separation between accommodation and shared areas, and a more structured feel overall, but the position keeps everything anchored to the beach rather than feeling removed from it. para-2 The 103 bungalows and villas are spread across the hillside rather than grouped in blocks, which gives each unit a greater sense of independence. Interiors follow a simple Cycladic direction with white surfaces, stone elements and restrained colour, keeping the focus on space and the view rather than decorative detail. Outdoor areas are central to how the rooms are used, with terraces or balconies in every category and higher level options adding private pools or hot tubs that shift the experience towards a more self contained stay. The variation across room types is wide, which makes it easy to move between more compact bungalows and larger villa style setups depending on how much space you want. para-3 Dining is structured across two main restaurants and several bars. Aegean Poets focuses on Mediterranean and seafood dishes in a more formal setting overlooking the sea, while L’Archipel Brasserie handles daytime dining with a broader menu that includes grilled and lighter options around the pool. Delos Lounge Bar carries the evening with drinks overlooking the bay, supported by additional smaller bars positioned across terraces and pool areas, keeping service close at hand throughout the day without concentrating everything in one place. para-4 The two level infinity pool sits at the centre of the hotel’s outdoor space, positioned to face directly towards Psarou and used as a quieter alternative to the beach. From here, steps lead down to a private section of the shoreline with loungers and service, placing you directly into one of the island’s most active beach scenes. Days tend to move between pool and beach depending on how much energy you want, with water sports and beach clubs immediately accessible, while the layout of the hotel still allows for more contained spaces higher up the slope. para-5 The Elixir Fitness Gallery Spa includes treatment rooms, sauna and a gym, forming a complete wellness setup that sits slightly away from the main flow of the resort. It works as a quieter counterpoint to the beachfront setting, particularly given the pace of Psarou, and gives the hotel a more rounded feel beyond its location. para-6 Located on Psarou Beach, around 4 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel is well placed if you want direct access to one of the island’s most recognised beaches while staying within easy reach of the main town.
From £210 per night
Once in Mykonos
Set just above Ornos Beach, Once in Mykonos is an adults only stay that keeps close to the coast while offering a more private base than the beach below. The hotel sits on a sloping hillside above the bay, with suites arranged to face out towards the sea rather than around a central courtyard. This keeps views open and consistent across the property, while movement between spaces remains simple, with direct access from each suite to the main terrace areas. Shared spaces are limited and clearly defined, centred around the pool and restaurant rather than spread across multiple levels. The layout avoids unnecessary complexity, so the experience stays easy to navigate, with a quieter pace that suits time spent on terraces and around the pool rather than moving between multiple venues. para-2 Suites are planned around outdoor space, with terraces forming the main extension of the room and acting as the primary place to sit, dine or unwind. Sea views are consistent across most categories, giving the same outlook whether you are in a standard room or a higher tier option. Upgraded suites introduce private pools or outdoor hot tubs, which shift most of the day outside and give each stay a more self contained feel. Interiors are kept simple and functional, supporting the layout rather than competing with it, and maintaining a consistent level of privacy throughout the property. para-3 Dining is structured around one restaurant and two bars. Infinity Bar and Restaurant handles breakfast, lunch and dinner with a focus on Greek and Mediterranean cooking, keeping the core dining offer in one place rather than spreading it across multiple venues. Momento Bar and the poolside bar provide drinks and lighter dishes throughout the day, giving a more relaxed alternative without needing to leave the hotel. The separation between restaurant and bar spaces works well, allowing the atmosphere to shift naturally from daytime to evening without feeling forced. para-4 The main pool and terrace form the centre of the hotel, set up for daytime use with clear views across Ornos Bay and enough space to avoid feeling crowded. It is not a high energy scene, instead it leans towards a slower pace where guests move between sunbeds, the bar and their own terraces. There is no beach on site, but Ornos Beach sits just below and is easy to reach, offering a change of pace with beach clubs and restaurants. Most stays naturally fall into a rhythm of mornings at the hotel, afternoons by the beach and evenings split between the restaurant, the bars or a short trip into town. para-5 Wellness is handled through a small spa offering treatments and massage, alongside a gym for day to day use. The setup is straightforward, without large indoor facilities, and works best as an addition to the stay rather than a central focus, giving flexibility without taking over the overall experience. para-6 Located around 2 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and roughly 3 kilometres from Mykonos Town, the position allows easy access to both without being directly in the centre. Ornos itself is within walking distance, making it simple to combine time at the hotel with nearby restaurants, beach clubs and short trips further across the island.
From £205 per night
Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort
Set directly on Agios Ioannis Beach facing Delos, Mykonos Grand Hotel and Resort is a five star member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World that offers a calmer beachfront stay with more space and separation than the busier parts of the island. The hotel spreads across a wide coastal plot with white buildings arranged along stone paths that step gently down towards the sea. The pool, restaurant and beach sit at the lower level, while accommodation extends back and slightly upward, giving a clear distinction between quieter areas and the main social spaces. This sense of spread changes the pace of the stay. Even at full occupancy the hotel never feels compressed, with multiple pockets of space across the grounds and a more measured atmosphere than the higher energy beach clubs found elsewhere. The setting itself does a lot of the work, with open views across the bay and the constant presence of Delos anchoring the outlook. para-2 The 96 rooms and suites are positioned to take advantage of this layout, with most opening onto balconies or patios that extend the living space outward. Interiors stay consistent in tone, using simple white surfaces and restrained colour, but the variation comes through position and size rather than decoration. Higher categories introduce private pools or larger terraces, which shift the experience towards a more self contained stay, while entry level rooms remain well proportioned and practical. The distribution across the grounds means some rooms feel closer to the main areas, while others sit further back with more privacy. para-3 Dining centres on one main restaurant and one bar. Nama Restaurant focuses on Mediterranean and seafood dishes served in an open air setting overlooking the sea, with the option to dine closer to the pool for a more informal feel. The White Bar carries through from late afternoon into the evening, positioned to take in the same views with a quieter, more composed atmosphere than the beachfront venues nearby. para-4 The main pool is large and set slightly above the beach, giving a clear line of sight out to the water while still feeling separate from it. From there, access leads directly down to a private section of Agios Ioannis Beach, where the pace is noticeably calmer than other parts of the island. Days tend to move between the pool, beach and the wider grounds, with enough space to shift between more social and more private areas without leaving the property. Tennis courts, an outdoor amphitheatre used for classes and a fitness space add structure to the day without dominating it. para-5 The Althea Spa Centre includes treatment rooms, hammam, sauna and a gym, forming a complete wellness area set away from the main flow of the hotel. It works as a quieter counterpoint to the beachfront setting, particularly in the afternoon when the rest of the property is more active. para-6 Located on Agios Ioannis Beach, around 4 kilometres from Mykonos Town and approximately 4.5 kilometres from the port and airport, the hotel suits those who want direct beach access in a quieter area while still being within easy reach of the island’s main centre.

Myconian Kyma Design Hotel
Set above Mykonos Town, Myconian Kyma, a five-star Member of Design Hotels, offers an elevated base with wide Aegean views and immediate access to the island’s most vibrant hub. Positioned on a hillside overlooking the town, the hotel is arranged to make the most of its vantage point, with open terraces, clear sightlines and a strong sense of light throughout. The setting naturally draws the eye towards the windmills, Little Venice and the sea beyond, while the overall feel remains more structured and composed than many of the more overtly social properties nearby. para-2 The 81 rooms and suites are designed with a mix of clean lines and more expressive detailing, bringing in subtle 1960s influences through colour and texture. Private terraces are central to the layout, many with uninterrupted views, while higher categories introduce private pools or outdoor jacuzzis that extend the living space. Layouts are practical and well balanced, with enough character to feel distinct without losing a sense of comfort and ease. para-3 Noa Greek Restaurant leads the dining, focusing on Mediterranean cooking with a clear emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and a setting that looks out across the town and sea. The pool bar supports this through the day, serving drinks and lighter dishes in a more relaxed setting that naturally transitions into the evening without needing a separate shift in atmosphere. para-4 The pool terrace is the focal point of the hotel, set up for all-day use with wide views and a layout that allows for both quieter corners and more social spaces. It shifts easily from a calmer daytime setting into something more energetic as the evening builds. From here, Mykonos Town is within easy reach, making it simple to move between time at the hotel and the island’s restaurants, bars and nightlife. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities add depth, with a full treatment offering, hammam, steam room and a well-equipped gym.

Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa
Set above Tourlos Marina, Mykonos Riviera Hotel and Spa is a five star stay that trades beachfront access for wide open sea and harbour views, with a more self contained feel just outside Mykonos Town. The hotel rises in tiers from the roadside up the slope, with rooms, pool and main terraces positioned to face directly out over the marina and open water. The layout is compact but vertical, so movement through the property shifts between levels rather than across large grounds, with the pool deck acting as the central hub and the main restaurant spaces set close by. This keeps everything connected, with clear sightlines throughout and a constant focus on the view. The structure of the hotel shapes the atmosphere. There is less separation than in larger resorts, but more containment, which gives the property a controlled and consistent rhythm through the day. The marina setting also brings a different energy to the stay, with boats, movement and changing light providing a backdrop that feels more dynamic than a typical hillside position. para-2 The 44 rooms and suites are arranged across the same stepped layout, with most opening onto terraces that face the marina and sea. Interiors follow a clean, contemporary direction with a subtle nautical influence, but the main emphasis is on space and the connection to the outside areas. Higher categories introduce private pools or outdoor hot tubs, which shift the balance of the stay towards the terrace, while entry level rooms remain well proportioned with a clear focus on the view. The smaller overall room count helps maintain a quieter feel across the accommodation. para-3 Dining is built around two restaurants and one main bar. Lafs focuses on Mediterranean cuisine with a more structured evening setting, while the Pool Club Restaurant handles breakfast and daytime dining with lighter dishes served around the terrace. The bar sits alongside the pool and carries through from afternoon into the evening, keeping drinks and informal dining within the same central space rather than splitting venues across the hotel. para-4 The infinity pool is the focal point, positioned to face directly out towards the marina and used throughout the day as the main social and relaxation space. There is no beach on site, so the stay centres around the terrace, with Agios Stefanos Beach around 1 kilometre away for those wanting access to the sea. Most days revolve around the pool, dining terrace and excursions off property, with the concierge arranging boat trips, island visits and transfers into town. The compact layout makes it easy to move between all areas without effort. para-5 The spa covers around 500 square metres and includes treatment rooms, hammam, sauna, indoor facilities and a gym, giving it more depth than many hotels of a similar size. It sits within the main structure of the hotel and works as a quieter counterpoint to the pool terrace, particularly later in the day. para-6 Located in Tourlos, around 4 kilometres from Mykonos Town and close to the port, the hotel suits those who want quick access to the island’s centre and transport links, while staying somewhere more contained and view focused rather than directly in the middle of it.

Ornos itself is within walking distance, making it simple to combine time at the hotel with nearby restaurants, beach clubs and short trips further across the island.

Mykonos Blu A Grecotel Resort To Live
Set directly above Psarou Beach, Mykonos Blu, A Grecotel Resort places you on one of the island’s most high profile stretches of sand with a layout that keeps the focus on the beach, the bay and the constant movement below. The hotel is arranged across a stepped hillside that drops towards Psarou, with bungalows and villas positioned along winding paths that lead down to the main pool and private beach area. This creates a clear sense of progression through the property, with higher levels feeling more private and the lower levels more connected to the social side of the beach. The scale is larger than most boutique options on the island, and that shows in how the spaces are distributed. There is more room to move, more separation between accommodation and shared areas, and a more structured feel overall, but the position keeps everything anchored to the beach rather than feeling removed from it. para-2 The 103 bungalows and villas are spread across the hillside rather than grouped in blocks, which gives each unit a greater sense of independence. Interiors follow a simple Cycladic direction with white surfaces, stone elements and restrained colour, keeping the focus on space and the view rather than decorative detail. Outdoor areas are central to how the rooms are used, with terraces or balconies in every category and higher level options adding private pools or hot tubs that shift the experience towards a more self contained stay. The variation across room types is wide, which makes it easy to move between more compact bungalows and larger villa style setups depending on how much space you want. para-3 Dining is structured across two main restaurants and several bars. Aegean Poets focuses on Mediterranean and seafood dishes in a more formal setting overlooking the sea, while L’Archipel Brasserie handles daytime dining with a broader menu that includes grilled and lighter options around the pool. Delos Lounge Bar carries the evening with drinks overlooking the bay, supported by additional smaller bars positioned across terraces and pool areas, keeping service close at hand throughout the day without concentrating everything in one place. para-4 The two level infinity pool sits at the centre of the hotel’s outdoor space, positioned to face directly towards Psarou and used as a quieter alternative to the beach. From here, steps lead down to a private section of the shoreline with loungers and service, placing you directly into one of the island’s most active beach scenes. Days tend to move between pool and beach depending on how much energy you want, with water sports and beach clubs immediately accessible, while the layout of the hotel still allows for more contained spaces higher up the slope. para-5 The Elixir Fitness Gallery Spa includes treatment rooms, sauna and a gym, forming a complete wellness setup that sits slightly away from the main flow of the resort. It works as a quieter counterpoint to the beachfront setting, particularly given the pace of Psarou, and gives the hotel a more rounded feel beyond its location. para-6 Located on Psarou Beach, around 4 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel is well placed if you want direct access to one of the island’s most recognised beaches while staying within easy reach of the main town.
From £210 per night
Myconian Kyma Design Hotel
Set above Mykonos Town, Myconian Kyma, a five-star Member of Design Hotels, offers an elevated base with wide Aegean views and immediate access to the island’s most vibrant hub. Positioned on a hillside overlooking the town, the hotel is arranged to make the most of its vantage point, with open terraces, clear sightlines and a strong sense of light throughout. The setting naturally draws the eye towards the windmills, Little Venice and the sea beyond, while the overall feel remains more structured and composed than many of the more overtly social properties nearby. para-2 The 81 rooms and suites are designed with a mix of clean lines and more expressive detailing, bringing in subtle 1960s influences through colour and texture. Private terraces are central to the layout, many with uninterrupted views, while higher categories introduce private pools or outdoor jacuzzis that extend the living space. Layouts are practical and well balanced, with enough character to feel distinct without losing a sense of comfort and ease. para-3 Noa Greek Restaurant leads the dining, focusing on Mediterranean cooking with a clear emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and a setting that looks out across the town and sea. The pool bar supports this through the day, serving drinks and lighter dishes in a more relaxed setting that naturally transitions into the evening without needing a separate shift in atmosphere. para-4 The pool terrace is the focal point of the hotel, set up for all-day use with wide views and a layout that allows for both quieter corners and more social spaces. It shifts easily from a calmer daytime setting into something more energetic as the evening builds. From here, Mykonos Town is within easy reach, making it simple to move between time at the hotel and the island’s restaurants, bars and nightlife. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities add depth, with a full treatment offering, hammam, steam room and a well-equipped gym. Concierge-led experiences, from boat trips to island exploration, are handled smoothly and fit naturally into the stay. para-6 Located around 1 kilometre from Mykonos Town and approximately 3 kilometres from the port, Myconian Kyma is well suited to those who want strong views and immediate access to the island’s energy, while still having a more elevated base to return to.
From £155 per night
Amazon Mykonos Resort & Spa
Set on a private peninsula above Agios Ioannis, Amazon Mykonos Resort & Spa stands out for its uninterrupted views towards Delos and a layout that keeps the sea in constant focus. The hotel is arranged in a series of low-rise buildings that follow the natural slope of the land, stepping down towards the water rather than sitting heavily on it. Pathways open out onto wide terraces and viewing points, so movement through the property always leads back to the horizon. The overall feel is open and easy to navigate, with space between areas rather than compression, which gives the hotel a calmer, more settled atmosphere than many on the island. Terraces play a central role throughout, acting as extensions of the main spaces rather than afterthoughts. Whether at the pool, around the suites or in the dining areas, everything is positioned to face outward, ensuring the setting is always part of the experience rather than something you only notice occasionally. para-2 The 52 suites are built around outdoor living, with layouts that prioritise space and flow rather than excess detail. Interiors are simple and comfortable, using soft tones and natural materials to create a relaxed environment that does not compete with the view. The proportions feel generous, with enough room to settle in without the spaces feeling oversized or impersonal. Private infinity pools and outdoor hot tubs feature heavily across the higher categories, shaping how the suites are used day to day. Even the more entry-level options maintain strong outdoor space, with balconies or terraces that keep the sea within sight. The result is a stay that naturally shifts outside, where mornings and evenings tend to be spent without needing to leave your own space. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant, supported by a pool bar, which keeps the offering straightforward and easy to navigate. The restaurant focuses on Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients, served in a setting that opens directly towards the sea. The pool bar carries the daytime side of things, offering drinks and lighter dishes without drawing guests away from the main pool area. Evenings tend to remain low-key, with the restaurant terrace becoming the natural focal point rather than any shift towards nightlife. para-4 The main infinity pool is the central feature of the hotel, positioned so that it runs visually into the sea beyond. It is where most guests spend their time, moving between loungers, water and bar without much structure to the day. The overall pace is slow and consistent, with little pressure to do anything beyond settle in and stay put. Agios Ioannis Beach sits a short distance below, adding an easy alternative to the pool without needing to travel far. For those who want more activity, the hotel also offers a gym, while the wider island remains easily accessible for beach-hopping or heading into town. para-5 The spa adds an indoor contrast to the outdoor spaces, with an indoor pool, hammam and treatment rooms providing a quieter setting away from the sun. A gym sits alongside, offering a practical option for guests staying longer or looking to balance the more relaxed pace of the stay. para-6 Located around 3 km from Mykonos Town and approximately 5 km from Mykonos Airport, the hotel offers quick access to the island’s main hub while maintaining a more private position above the coastline.
From £140 per night
Mykonos Blanc Hotel
Set directly on the sand at Ornos Bay, Mykonos Blanc Hotel is a beachfront boutique stay that gives you immediate access to one of the island’s most active bays while keeping its own spaces contained and controlled. The hotel is laid out along the shoreline rather than above it, with a low, horizontal footprint that keeps everything within a short walk of the sea. The pool terrace, main restaurant areas and pathways all run parallel to the beach, so the view is constant and movement through the property feels direct and easy. There is no sense of spread or distance here; instead, the layout keeps guests close to the central areas, with the pool acting as the anchor point and the beach as a natural extension beyond it. This tighter configuration shapes the atmosphere. Shared spaces remain active but do not tip into chaos, even with the steady flow from Ornos Beach just outside. You move quickly between room, pool and beach without needing to plan the day, and that simplicity is what defines the stay more than any single feature. para-2 The 42 rooms and suites follow a consistent white on white approach, using curved openings and soft detailing to keep the spaces clean without feeling clinical. The focus is on how each room connects to its outdoor area, with terraces and balconies forming a natural extension of the interiors rather than an afterthought. Higher categories introduce hot tubs or more generous outdoor setups, which change how the space is used, particularly in the evening. Entry level rooms are more compact but still maintain a clear sense of privacy, while the larger suites suit longer stays where outdoor living becomes part of the routine. para-3 Dining is structured across three restaurants and one main bar, which is a strong offering for a hotel of this size. Kuzina Mykonos focuses on Mediterranean cuisine in a more established beachfront setting, Pasaji brings Asian fusion with a livelier atmosphere closer to the water, and Farina introduces Italian dishes in a more relaxed format, giving a clear mix of options across the day. The bar sits alongside the pool and terrace and carries the rhythm from morning through to late evening, serving drinks and lighter plates without needing a separate venue. The setup works because it gives variety without requiring movement off site, while still keeping everything within a compact footprint. para-4 The pool sits just behind the beachfront line, giving a second base alongside the sea and keeping the water view present throughout the day. From here it is a short step onto Ornos Beach, where the pace shifts, with water sports, beach bars and a more social atmosphere running along the bay. A typical day moves easily between the two. Mornings tend to stay quieter around the pool, with afternoons drifting towards the beach or back to the terrace, depending on how much energy you want from the setting. The advantage here is choice without distance, with everything sitting within a few minutes of each other. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms, steam room and sauna, supported by a gym that is properly equipped rather than token. It sits slightly removed from the main flow of the hotel, giving it a quieter feel that contrasts with the more active beachfront setting. This adds a useful counterpoint to the stay, particularly if you are splitting time between the beach and the hotel, allowing for a more balanced use of the property without needing to leave it. para-6 Located on Ornos Bay, around 3 kilometres from Mykonos Town and close to the airport, the hotel works well if you want direct beach access with restaurants and bars on your doorstep, while still being able to reach the town quickly without staying in it.
From £260 per night
Adorno Beach Hotel & Suites
Right on the sand at Ornos, Adorno Suites leans fully into beach life — a compact, adults-oriented hideaway where the sea is never more than a few steps away and the mood feels more barefoot Mykonos than polished showpiece. The design doesn’t try to be sharp or architectural. Instead, it softens the usual Cycladic look with texture and warmth — timber pergolas casting broken shade, woven details, washed woods and muted pastel accents that feel sun-faded rather than styled. It’s informal in the right way, with spaces that drift between pool, terrace and beach without any real boundary. There’s a looseness to the layout that works in its favour — less about symmetry, more about how the place actually feels to move through. para-2 Across its 20 rooms, suites and maisonettes, the approach stays consistent — comfortable, slightly bohemian and built around outdoor space. Interiors are easy-going rather than design-led, letting terraces, pools and proximity to the sea do most of the work. Options such as the Premium Maisonette Private Pool and Honeymoon Suite Private Pool add a clear step up in privacy, while beachfront and pool-access rooms bring you closer to the rhythm of the property. It’s not about over-delivering on interiors — it’s about how you live in the space. para-3 Dining is deliberately uncomplicated, centred around one main restaurant alongside a beach bar and poolside service that carry the day. The restaurant leans Mediterranean with a casual edge, while the bar becomes the natural anchor — coffee in the morning, something cold in the afternoon, cocktails once the light starts to drop. With Ornos’ wider beachfront scene just outside, there’s no pressure to stay in, which suits the setup. para-4 The beach defines the stay. Ornos is one of the island’s more sheltered bays, so the water is calmer, the setting more usable throughout the day, and everything feels a little easier. Beyond that, the hotel stays intentionally low-key — a pool, loungers and space to settle in — with Mykonos Town close enough when you want a change of pace. para-6 Located directly on Ornos Beach, the property sits around 3 km from Mykonos Airport and a short drive from Mykonos Town, with easy access to nearby beaches including Psarou.
