This picturesque retreat's setting, overlooking Ayios Yiannis Beach – known as Shirley Valentine beach after the movie that was filmed there – and the sacred island of Delos, is one of the best. Attendants are on hand to cater for your every need, allowing you to laze back on comfortable loungers under shady parasols, and to keep the peace, you won't find any motorised watersports on this part of the beach. Even the dining experience here is an opulent one. Dolphins of Delos has panoramic sea views in clean and crisp al fresco surroundings. All herbs are sourced from the hotel garden and produce is local. The wine list is extensive and there’s something to accompany every dish. Aqua e Sole Restaurant serves fresh, seasonal cuisine by the poolside, and the cool, minimalist White Bar has a spectacular outdoor terrace that's the perfect spot for drinks before a night out in Mykonos Town. Rooms are set along cobbled paths, housed in the cube-shaped white-washed buildings typical of Cycladic architecture. Recently refurbished, the Premium Garden View Rooms have a more modern design with splashes of rich colour and are on the ground floor with a terrace. Premium Sea View Rooms have a touch of classic romance, with canopied beds and marble bathrooms. Suites have a separate living room, free standing bath and terrace with sea views. For access to your own pool, opt for a spacious Suite with Private Pool.
Mykonos Theoxenia is an original ’60s hotel with a rich history and status. Stay here and you’ll be following in stylish footsteps – previous guests include Jackie Onassis. Part of the Louis Hotels Group and member of the Design Hotels, the hotel is a national preserved property thanks to its innovative style and architecture showcasing local stone and craftsmanship. It’s since been renovated, but retains a sense of ’60s glam and the low-rise design gives a private, intimate feel. The palm-fringed pool is the focal point of the hotel, and you’ll just need to decide whether to opt for a poolside lounger or a four-poster day bed with drapes. Either way, you’ll be able to soak up views of the floral gardens, Mediterranean Sea and iconic white windmills in peace. There’s a lot of care and attention given to the food here and it’s beautifully presented. Breakfast at The Plate is particularly good – it’s served buffet-style, but the choices change daily and you’ll find delicious premium produce. Breeze Out restaurant serves up a new all-day dining menu for lunch and dinner, while the Breeze In bar offers an extensive cocktail list, headed up by the signature Theoxenia Vertigo and served in mason jars and other creative glassware. Stylish rooms have a neutral colour palette and subtle ’60s throwbacks with patterned feature walls and fabrics. All have a balcony or terrace. Classic Double Rooms have garden or sea views, while Deluxe Sea Front Rooms have a lounge area and a raised bedroom area.
Kenshō translates as ‘enlightenment’ in Japanese and this beautifully designed hotel has a Zen-like serenity that makes it perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. It has a peaceful hillside setting but is within easy reach of Mykonos Town so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. The design is inspired by Cycladic architecture – all white-washed sugar-cube buildings, natural materials and winding paths – that’s complemented with quirky design pieces and artwork. The neutral colour scheme is enhanced with natural textures such as stone, slate, reforested wood and wicker, which keeps your focus firmly on the dazzling blues of the sea and sky. Small and intimate, with warm personalised service, this is the kind of place where you can easily spend a day lounging by the small pool, admiring the views and savouring your meals – breakfast is served until 11.30am and lunch is until 5pm so you can really take your time. The stylish restaurant serves traditional Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist and local dishes. Dine on the terrace to enjoy panoramic views over Ornos Bay and don’t miss the incredible tasting menu. Expert mixologists at the Pool Bar and Sunset Lounge can craft a cocktail especially for you – just let them know your favourite flavours and then sip your delicious creation while watching the twinkling lights of Mykonos Town in the distance. The stylish rooms and suites have been individually furnished by innovative designers from around the world, and each features an open bathroom, hanging chair suspended from the ceiling, and contemporary luxuries such as personal iPads, Nespresso coffee machines and toiletries by Hermes. It’s well worth choosing a Deluxe Room with a Plunge Pool on your terrace. These rooms have views over the pool, mountains or sea. Opt for a Junior Suite for extra space or a VIP Junior Suite with Private Pool for a living area and your own pool.
With sugar-cube Cycladic style and a striking two-tier infinity pool which seems to tip over into the Aegean Sea, Mykonos Blu Grecotel Exclusive Resort has an exquisite location above iconic Psarou Beach and sits in prime position for the super-luxe shops and nightlife of Mykonos Town. Demand is high for a spot on Psarou, but with the hotel’s exclusive private beach area just steps away from your room, there are complimentary loungers, umbrellas and waiter service for guests. The hotel’s stone walls, crisp white linens and accents of cool blue are an extension of the mesmerising sea views and there are plenty of chill-out sofas and terraces to catch shade whilst enjoying fresh Greek flavours sourced from the hotel’s organic farm at contemporary Aegean Poets restaurant or poolside Brasserie L’Archipel. This exclusive hideaway is more like your own private beach house with luxury bungalows leading out to private pools and lavish breakfast spreads served until late afternoon. Delos Lounge sees ouzo and Champagne served as the sun disappears into yacht-lined waters, or you can slink off for a private dining experience in-suite or on the beach. The morning after brings preening opportunities in the Elixir Spa with an extravagant sea scrub or facial before grabbing your beach towel and lapping the pool. The blue-on-white open-plan rooms and bungalows are spacious and airy with contemporary comforts. Some feature private pools or outdoor Jacuzzis. Clustered in small groups throughout the hotel, Island Garden Rooms offer a chic and stylish space and gorgeous garden views.
Kouros Hotel & Suites is a calm refuge on the fringes of sizzling Mykonos Town, but close enough to dip in and out of its labyrinthine core. You can even see the capital, with its white huddle of houses tumbling down to the harbour, from the outdoor terrace. But the ultimate view goes to the knockout sunsets. Nab one of the low-slung white armchairs to watch the sky streak pink and lilac. Right on the water, a large swimming pool overlooks the Aegean and is flanked by a handful of cushioned loungers – the perfect spot for sun-drenched days. Elsewhere, a cave spa is a cozy cocoon for massages and body treatments beneath curving stone arches. The open-sided restaurant is stunning, with the sea framed in every half-moon window and wooden fishermen basket-style lamps illuminating exposed brick walls and smooth stone floors. A scattering of tables spills outside onto the terrace, with the pool to one side, the Aegean the other. Traditional Greek cuisine is given a modern spin, with the food as artfully presented as it is delicious. Rooms are minimalist-chic in style, with gallery-white walls showcasing eclectic art and sculptures. A scattering of rattan furniture, coastal murals and hanging basket lamps nods to the island surroundings. Sea views come as standard, but the room to book is the Deluxe Suite with Private Pool, which has a glorious infinity pool.
A cluster of white-washed buildings linked by pathways and terraces, the Petasos Beach Resort & Spa has been recently refurbished, so the public areas feel sleek and new. But it’s charming too, with shutters and balconies painted in blues, greens and browns, and pretty bougainvillea cascading down. At this member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World you'll be welcomed at the mosaic lobby and taken through to the heart of the resort – a magazine-worthy two-tier pool with waterfall. Relax poolside on a shaded sun lounger, or on a huge white day bed at the outdoor lounge. The VIP Restaurant is stylish, light and airy and serves delicious fresh breakfasts and an à la carte Greek and international dinner menu. Grab a table on the lower terrace right at the cliff edge for the best sea views. Le Club Restaurant offers Mediterranean lunches and a pool bar specialises in classic cocktails – it’s known for its fruity daiquiris. Two of the island’s most popular beaches – busy, family-friendly Platis Gialos with a host of watersports, and upmarket Psarou, loved by locals and home to a famous beach restaurant – are just a five-minute walk away. Rooms are minimalist with splashes of bright colour. There’s a vast choice, with features ranging from Jacuzzi baths or shared pools to private pools or a roof terrace. Classic Rooms are on the ground or first floor with garden views, while Standard Rooms have sea views. The Private Pool Suites are a highlight here, with curved infinity pools that merge with the horizon. At the top end, the luxurious Prince Pool Villa and Galaxy Pool Villa have design pieces, a private pool and huge chic roof terrace.
