What Are the Best Hotels in Mykonos?
Of the many Greek islands scattered across the Aegean Sea, Mykonos ranks among the most beautiful. Whether you visit to see the windmills in Chora or to soak up a sunset over the seafront in Little Venice, relax after a long day of exploring at one of these dreamy hotels.
Casa Cook Mykonos
Villa
Situated near Ornos Bay, perched on pristine coastline and gazing out over the island of Delos, Casa Cook Mykonos is the smallest of the properties, with just 26 rooms. With nearly 360-degree Aegean Sea views, guests can soak up sunrise and sunset in this idyllic spot on the island. The hotel’s serene ambiance is complemented by its proximity to Mykonos town, the airport and popular beaches. When relaxing at the hotel, guests can hang out at the Ble Restaurant, where the dining space and bar seamlessly flow into the pool area, serving as the central spot to unwind and revel in each others company. Drawing inspiration from the local tradition of sharing and gathering, Chef Giorgos gives his own twist to Meze plates from Greece and its neighbouring regions, crafted with passion and the freshest local ingredients. Embracing the island’s cultural heritage, the hotel also offers insights into Mykonos’ ancient wonders and deep religious roots, making it an ideal destination for both leisure and exploration.
Mykonos Beach Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Resort
Views of the Aegean Sea come as standard at the Mykonos Beach Hotel, situated on the hillside above Megali Ammos Beach. A typically Greek decor of whitewashed walls, stone-tiled floors and Santorini-blue furnishings runs throughout, and the sun deck includes a pool, Jacuzzi and bar. Sip on a cold beer or white wine while watching the fishing boats bobbing on the water. To fully immerse yourself in the Mykonian lifestyle, dine al fresco at the hotel restaurant, and enjoy a plate of local cheeses, salamis and olives.
Cavo Tagoo
Resort
This hotel has a Cave Pool suite that’s become an Instagram sensation – and the rest of the hotel is just as inspiring. Each premium room comes with sweeping ocean views, and the concierge team will arrange yacht rental, helicopter charter and even private photoshoots to tempt you away from your own piece of paradise. Make sure to save some space in your suitcase, as the onsite boutique offers a great selection of designer labels and boho-style souvenirs.
Arcs Boutique Villa Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Villa
A stay at the Arcs Boutique Villa gives you access to your very own pool, terrace and Jacuzzi – with no one else around to spoil the mood. But, when you do require assistance, help is at hand via 24/7 call assistance. Breakfast is included in the room rate, as is room service. When you’re ready to tour the island, you can hire your own private driver to show you the best spots around.
Harmony Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel
If you’re dreaming of a stay in a traditional Greek-island hotel – where whitewashed exteriors, blue-shuttered windows, wooden beams and sea-inspired furnishings are framed against a deep-blue view – check into Harmony Boutique Hotel. It provides all the above, and then some. You’ll be able to choose from a range of treatments at the Spa Centre and doze in hanging egg chairs under rattan umbrellas by the pool – when you’re not taking a dip, of course.
My Mykonos Hotel
Boutique Hotel
It may boast the wooden beams and sugar-white walls of classic Greek architecture, but the traditional tropes stop there. You also get modern features like free-standing sinks, carved wooden side tables and handcrafted headboards in your room at My Mykonos. An earthy palette of charcoal, mud and pine runs through the hotel, from the pool that overlooks the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean-Greek fusion restaurant. If you’re here to splurge, opt for the two-bedroom suite for a private pool and an outdoor dining area set against olive trees and lush gardens.
The TownHouse Mykonos
Boutique Hotel, Luxury
This aristocratic 18th-century manor house guarantees a royal treatment while you’re in Mykonos. Once the residence of the island’s mayor, the TownHouse boasts a collection of contemporary rooms, ranging from luxury Mykonian villas and suites to superior and classic rooms with uninterrupted sea views. There’s a host of activities at your selection – including luxury speedboat cruises, private yacht rental and tours of ancient ruins. Be sure to drop by the 54 Cocktail Bar & Sunset Lounge for a night of cocktails paired with house beats and iconic island views.
Portes Mykonos Suites & Villas
Boutique Hotel, Villa
Postcard-worthy panoramas of rolling hills backed by an endless ocean await at Portes Mykonos Suites & Villas. Breakfast is a typically Mykonian affair that’s brought straight to your door, and there are kitchens in most suites so you can make your own evening meal on the nights you don’t want to eat out. Plus, you can order a massage service to your room – the perfect way to relax after a day spent exploring Mykonos town or lounging on Psarou Beach, both just short walks away.
Mykonos Theoxenia Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Luxury
Built in the 1960s by Greek architect Aris Konstantinidis, Mykonos Theoxenia has kept up with the times but lost none of its groovy personality. Look around for the palm tree prints and flashes of colour that nod to its early years. Then, gaze out to the seafront – it’s right outside the window. The hotel also has its own marina, where you can hire a boat for the day. Back at the hotel bar, you can transport yourself to whatever decade you like via an era-transcending cocktail menu.
These hotels don’t quite fit the bill? How about a stay at a cosy boutique hotel or a luxury hotel instead? To plan your travel itinerary, check out the best things to see and do on Mykonos. If you’re a party animal, the best nightclubs on the island will keep you busy. During all that exploring and partying, make sure to stay fuelled, and visit the best restaurants this Greek island has to offer.
