What Are the Best Cheap Hotels in Mykonos?

This hostel feels more like a boutique hotel than a cheap lodging. The Scandi-chic design includes pale wooden bunks cocooned into the building’s natural curves. The largest dorms sleep up to 46 people, while the cosier private dorms sleep four or six, thus ideal for families or groups of friends. You’ll find more minimalist vibes outside, with a sun terrace, whitewashed walls, rattan furniture and a picture-perfect view over Mykonos town.

Centrally located in Mykonos town, Eleanna’s provides travellers with a homely place to stay on the island. Pink bougainvillea tumbles down over the traditional blue-and-white paintwork, while guest rooms are spacious and spotlessly kept. There are eight accommodation options, from the double deluxe with its swoon-worthy views of a colourful church, to the two-bedroom suite which comes with a private terrace for catching some sun.

Set on a slope overlooking Super Paradise Beach, this hotel offers great-value accommodation, a range of dining options and a dreamy pampering facility. Choose from double and triple rooms, or suites with a pool or sea view – all have a down-to-earth design that does the job nicely. Breakfast is American buffet-style – think fresh fruit, yoghurt, cake and pastries – while the Divine Sea & More à la carte restaurant serves Mediterranean fusion fare out on the terrace or by the pool. During the day, be sure to book a massage in the open-air treatment room down on the beach.

With excellent dining options, a great spa and a range of smart rooms, this hotel is a great choice for travellers who are on a budget but don’t want to give up those little holiday luxuries. You can sip cocktails by the infinity pool here, or kick back on your balcony and enjoy the view – with or without a cocktail. And if you’d like something at the top end of the budget spectrum, you can book a deluxe suite with its own pool or jacuzzi. Hungry? Savour traditional Greek cuisine with a contemporary twist, thanks to the culinary skills of head chef Dimitris Aidinis.

For barefoot luxury without the hefty price tag, try this stylish hotel on Agios Ioannis Beach, less than 4km (2.5mi) from Mykonos town. Expect sublime sunsets from the terrace or private beach, a sparkling pool to cool off in and spacious rooms and suites to retire to at the end of the day. Before you do, though, fill up on fresh fish at the Hippie Fish Restaurant or the Sushi Bar for a more laid-back affair. The hotel also has a beachwear boutique and will arrange massage treatments and airport transfers for its guests.

The sleek suites at Villa Elina have a fresh and modern feel, with customised furniture and details like rattan lampshades and olive-wood headboards tidily arranged within the whitewashed walls. The downstairs suites have sun-filled patios, while upstairs the three larger suites have balconies with their own jacuzzis – proving you can do boutique on a budget on this beautiful island.

Offering sea views and a fabulous swimming pool, Olia Hotel brings you the best of the Aegean. Five minutes from Mykonos town by bus, this is the perfect place for making the most of the whole island. Traditional Mykonos design and minimalist furnishings bring a classic, laid-back vibe, while the restaurant serves delicious local plates made from fresh ingredients on the island.

Experience classic whitewashed, cave-like rooms at Anamar Mykonos. Located just a 10-minute walk from Ftelia Beach, you can take a morning dip in the Aegean Sea before enjoying a simple, traditional breakfast back at the hotel. The main town of Mykonos is only a 10-minute drive away, so you can enjoy relative seclusion here, the ultimate antidote to the wildness of the town’s beach clubs. Every room comes with sea views, but it’s best enjoyed with a drink on the terrace.

Classic, simple decoration and a friendly atmosphere make Anagram Boutique Hotel a dreamy, affordable alternative to the luxury hotels across Mykonos. The rooms are minimal and modern with bohemian design touches. Located in the main town, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the island’s most popular clubs, bars and the iconic Mykonos windmills. Alternatively, rent a motorcycle from the front desk and explore further afield.

Offering modern, minimalist interiors, Ftelia Bay Boutique Hotel pays homage to traditional Cycladic design. It’s just a short walk from the beach at Ftelia Bay and the renowned Alemagou Beach Bar. Enjoy lazy mornings around the small pool, before tucking into a local, garden-to-fork lunch at the on-site restaurant. If you’re looking for pampering over partying, there’s a boutique spa at the hotel, too.

If you’re looking for an affordable place close to Paraga Beach – a legendary destination, home to the popular Kalua beach bar – book a room at Zephyros Mykonos. The hotel itself is vibrant and lively with furnishings to match. Big palm trees and luxurious cabanas line the pool. A hearty buffet breakfast is served on the terrace, and the staff are friendly and polite. While it’s likely you’ll spend most of your time on Paraga Beach, the hotel is only a short drive from the Mykonos windmills and main town.

This family-run hotel offers the famous views for which Mykonos is known from its pool terrace. Rooms are cosily furnished and offer serene sea views – there’s nothing like watching the sun set from your own private terrace. Downstairs, breakfast is served on the terrace – think freshly squeezed juice, flaky pastries and Greek yoghurt topped with fruit. Mykonos town centre is just a 500m (0.3mi) walk downhill, filled with lively bars and plenty of Mediterranean restaurants to choose from for dinner.
