Vacationers are drawn to Mykonos by the blue sea, the authentic architecture, and the charm of the old town crisscrossed by cobbled streets. The restaurants here are excellent, so is shopping — and the clubs are bustling with nightlife. But while Mykonos remains popular among travelers looking for a party atmosphere, the hotel scene has been catering to an increasingly sophisticated clientele who seek uncompromising luxury and comforts. The entries on our regularly updated Best Luxury Hotels in Mykonos list reflect that trend.

Kalesma Mykonos is a charming hotel housed in a beautiful generations-old property, perched on a hill perched overlooking Ornos Bay.

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.

Bill & Coo is set in two locations. The Suites and Lounge hotel is located just a stone’s throw from Mykonos’ cosmopolitan center and a mere 150 meters from the nearest beach. It stands out thanks to its infinity pool, best appreciated at the sunset hour. The second location is the adults-only Bill & Coo Coast Suites, with the address just off the beach at Agios Ioannis, some 3,5 km from the town. Guests checked-in to Suites benefit from direct access to a sandy beach and snacks delivered straight to their loungers. Both places are designed in an effortlessly beautiful, Mediterranean-chic style — and both are fashionable hangouts, especially for travelers on a romantic vacation or a honeymoon.

“The main pool terrace is the focal point and is envisioned for romantic moments. Circular ‘loveseats,’ chic swings, and cushioned loungers all invite to cuddle with the loved one.” — The Best Luxury Hotels in Mykonos, by TravelPlusStyle
This intimate, romantic hotel has only eighteen suites. They are generously sized, and all come with private entrances and terraces with sea views — and eleven of them feature private infinity pools. Thanks to the massive glass walls, the outdoors feel like part of the interior design, and the views of the sea and the famous windmills are available almost everywhere at the hotel. The guests’ comforts include enormous four-poster beds, marble-clad showers, and luxury toiletries from Korres. The hotel is small, and it has limited facilities — for example, an impressive spa, next door, is shared with Korali and Kyma, sister hotels of Naia — but there is an excellent all-day restaurant. There is more in Mykonos town, just a 10-minute walk away.

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.

Kyma’s harmoniously assembled white cubic houses stand amid lush gardens and 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.

Mykonos continues to be one of the top Greek destinations, and now a new luxe resort adds to the highly competitive hotel scene on the island. Cali Mykonos combines a high level of luxury and a secluded, wind-sheltered location, boasting a private beach (Kalafati Beach) and luxe facilities. The highlight is the spa with ice, salt, and steam rooms, but dining facilities are also well worth recommending, be it the on-site high-end restaurant or a sushi bar. The massive infinity pool is perfect for lounging, but there is also a private pool at each of the forty guest villas. The hotel is well set up to arrange excursions and adventures, thanks in part to a small fleet of speed boats and yachts available to the guests.
