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.

Rooms & Suites

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.

Dining

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.

Experience

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.

Wellness

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.

Where

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.
