Kalesma Mykonos is a charming hotel housed in a beautiful generations-old property perched on a hill overlooking Ornos Bay. The 25-suite hotel resembles a whitewashed village, with modern interiors set in neutral, earthy color palettes. Kalesma features two luxury villas in addition to its suites and a restaurant. It is the first hotel on the island where every guest room comes equipped with a private pool — and if you fancy a swim in the sea, the beach is just a short walk away.

Where to stay in Santorini
Casa Cook Mykonos is the chain’s third hotel in Greece. Located on the shores of Ornos Bay, it’s a 26-room adults-only hotel designed as the “most intimate” among all the Casa Cook hotels. The island of Mykonos has a fun-loving spirit, and Casa Cook focuses on a laidback lifestyle. Themes of relaxation, simple luxury, and the concept of paréa — a Greek notion of spending time with friends — come through the hotel’s style. Casa Cook Mykonos takes inspiration from the traditional whitewashed Cycladic houses with their organic, clean lines. The interiors capture the island’s easygoing nature through hand-woven fabrics, local art, and organic materials in bleached whites, lush greens, azure blues, and earthy browns. The hotel’s heart is the swimming pool and the outdoor restaurant emphasizing slow living.

“Amyth of Mykonos is a home away from home for those in the know, who seek an authentic, warm, and welcoming experience rather than just a hotel stay” — Amyth of Mykonos
The bohemian chic of Amyth of Mykonos combines rustic details, contemporary comforts, and modern amenities, offering a relaxed island vacation experience. Understated furnishings, plush linens, tactile materials, and whitewashed hues and earth tones underscore the style. However, it is the authentic, warm, and welcoming atmosphere that makes all the difference, creating a “home away from home” feel. The hotel comprises seventeen suites in five categories, with the Amyth Sea View Pool Suite standing as the top accommodation category.

A long list of famous guests, spectacular views of Mykonos and its picturesque harbor, and excellent restaurant and bar are only a few qualities that make Belvedere Hotel Mykonos an icon of the hedonistic Mykonos. But this beautiful place also invites you to hang out and relax with plenty of sunny terraces, cozy nooks, and airy places — and it exudes elegance, charm, and style. Belvedere is located right in the center of the town, just a 5-minute walk from Matoyanni (the most cosmopolitan street of Mykonos), full of bars, restaurants, and boutiques.

You can hardly wish for a more prominent location, and more fabulous views in Mykonos — for Theoxenia neighbors the island’s famous windmills. It stands just across a small bay from the cafes, art galleries, shops, and restaurants of Mykonos town, with its “Little Venice” waterfront. We love the style of this hip boutique hotel, which channels 1960s glamour. The design blends exposed stone, wood, and wicker and sets them against pristine white, with striking color accents. It makes for a fresh, energized look.

Kyma, from the Greek word for “wave,” inspires the hotel concept — from the curved lines of the infinity pool and whitewashed buildings to the style of interior design. The hotel is, first and foremost, a secluded retreat, offering a restful stay only a stroll away from the thriving nightlife and shopping of Mykonos town. Kyma’s harmoniously assembled white cubic houses stand amid lush gardens, private pools, and terraces, to the backdrop of magnificent views over the iconic windmills and fishing boats around Mykonos, thanks to Myconian Kyma’s location on a hill. A full-service spa and a world-class steakhouse add to the hotel’s appeal.

Pick Korali for a chic, luxurious stay with all the trappings it entails. It has great sea views, private swimming pools, a relaxing spa, eclectic cocktails, and one of the finest restaurants on the island. The rooms and suites open onto shaded balconies sporting oversized pools or Jacuzzis. A marriage of minimalistic aesthetic with warm tones of designer furniture, fabrics, and objets d’art — often set against a backdrop of white marble — imbues the hotel with a distinct air of quality. Perched on the hills above Mykonos harbor, the Myconian Korali Relais & Châteaux is only minutes from the cafés and tavernas of Little Venice.
