Palladium Boutique Hotel

On the hillside between Psarou and Platys Gialos, Palladium Hotel is a family run five star Mykonos favourite where highly personal service, private pool suites and two of the island's best known beaches come together within a wonderfully convenient setting.

Palladium has been welcoming guests for more than 25 years, and that longevity gives it a character quite different from the island's newer arrivals. There is a confidence to the hospitality that comes from knowing exactly what its guests value, with attentive service and a genuinely warm atmosphere at the heart of the experience.

Fresh white interiors, sculptural forms and softer bohemian details give the hotel a contemporary Mykonian identity, while the hillside position opens up views towards the Aegean. The swimming pool sits at the centre of daily life, surrounded by loungers and terraces that become especially atmospheric after dark when the pool is illuminated and the pace shifts towards cocktails and dinner.

Rooms & Suites

Rooms and suites are individually styled, moving from the relaxed Bohemian Deluxe Double through increasingly spacious sea view and suite categories. Furnished balconies and terraces extend the rooms outdoors, while pale finishes, natural textures and carefully chosen details create bright spaces with plenty of Mykonian character.

Private pools and hot tubs feature prominently in the upper categories. The Luxury Double, Exclusive Suite, Palladium Signature Suite and Ethereum Partial Sea View Suite each add their own private pool, while the Honeymoon and Executive suites offer private hot tubs. Larger two bedroom suites provide excellent space for families and friends, with the Grand Two Bedroom Suite adding a private pool of its own.

Dining

Greek produce sits at the heart of the kitchen, with Mediterranean flavours carried from a generous breakfast into lunch and dinner. The restaurant terrace makes the most of the hotel's elevated setting, allowing meals to remain closely connected to the warm evenings and Aegean views that are such an important part of summer on Mykonos.

The pool bar keeps things relaxed during the day with drinks and lighter dishes beside the water, while the lobby bar becomes particularly inviting in the evening with cocktails looking across the illuminated pool. In room dining adds another option, and guests staying in private pool accommodation can even begin the morning with breakfast served floating on their own pool.

Experience

The outdoor pool remains the social heart of Palladium, with deep loungers, attentive bar service and plenty of space for an afternoon in the sun. There is also a heated indoor pool, offering a quieter alternative and extending the appeal beyond the hottest part of the season.

Psarou and Platys Gialos are both within walking distance, putting two very different stretches of Mykonos coastline within easy reach. Psarou brings its famously glamorous beach scene, while Platys Gialos offers restaurants, swimming and boat connections along the southern beaches, making Palladium particularly well placed for exploring this side of the island.

Wellness

The spa is impressively comprehensive for an intimate hotel, with a sauna, steam room, hot tub and relaxation areas accompanying massages, facials and a broad selection of body and beauty treatments. A fitness centre and personal training provide a more energetic option, while the indoor pool gives the whole wellness area a sense of substance.

It is an easy place to disappear for a couple of hours after the beach, particularly when a massage and sauna can be followed by a quiet swim before heading back outside for the evening. That combination of proper facilities within a relatively small hotel is one of Palladium's strengths.

Where

Palladium occupies an excellent position on the southern side of Mykonos, between Psarou and Platys Gialos and within easy reach of Chora. It works particularly well for guests who want the freedom to divide their stay between the island's celebrated beaches and evenings in Mykonos Town while returning to a hotel with a distinctly personal character.
