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.

Staying

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.

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.

Experience

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.

Wellness

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.

Where

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.
