Traditional al fresco tavernas dot every square and waterfront of Mykonos. The streets here are lined with galleries and boutiques. And all that seems encased in crisp white architecture and adorned with bright blue, yellow, and red doors, windows, and railings. But the island’s traditional Greek charms are augmented by modern attractions and sights, not least of which is the latest accommodation. Indulgent, sometimes extravagant, always ticking off all the boxes for ambiance, wow factor, style, and service — these are the fifteen best luxury hotels in Mykonos.

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.

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. Mykonos island has a fun-loving spirit, and Casa Cook Mykonos focuses on a laidback island 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.

“Habitat 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” — habitatmykonos.com
The bohemian chic of Habitat Mykonos, with rustic details, contemporary comforts, and modern amenities, blended to provide a sense of a relaxed island vacation, define the hotel design. Understated furnishings, plush linens, tactile materials, whitewashed hues, and earth tones underscore the style. But it is the authentic, warm, and welcoming atmosphere that makes all the difference — creating the “home away from home” feel. The hotel has seventeen suites in five categories, with the unique Habitat Suite as the top accommodation category. The suite features a private terrace with a large sunbed and a private swimming pool.

Top hotels and resorts for the new decade
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 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 5 minutes 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 the view): Mykonos Theoxenia neighbors the island’s famous windmills. It is just across the bay from the cafes, art galleries, shops, and restaurants of the Mykonos town… and, of course, the “Little Venice” waterfront. We love this hip boutique hotel for the 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.

Think Zen. Think Wow. If there is one place that ensures an almost spiritual experience, it has to be Kenshō. The hotel goes for the highest hospitality standards while embracing fine art and design in its quest to “awake the senses.” The aesthetics are but one facet of the hotel experience, but the astonishingly beautiful interiors alone place Kenshō in its own league.

Since our stay at the Bill & Coo Mykonos Suites, the hotel expanded with the adults-only Bill & Coo Coast Suites, creating more opportunities to adore its serene atmosphere, minimal decor—and amazing sunsets. This effortlessly beautiful, Mediterranean-chic boutique hotel is a great hangout for fashionable travelers or couples on a romantic weekend trip. We love the hotel’s infinity pool; it’s a glorious setting for the genuine magic of Cycladean sunsets.

This hotel got our attention with its offbeat but sleek ‘boho’ style. Boheme’s architectural nods to the local building traditions, designer furniture, and retro lighting create relaxing spaces with a strong contemporary aesthetic. The hotel captures the island’s character in the light, airy spaces and great interior design — of which one standout feature are large fans reminiscent of the Mykonos’ famous windmills.

The twenty-four-room Rocabella pays tribute to the white Cycladic architecture and the island’s topography. Its design highlights the natural aesthetics of simple materials and stylistic choices, such as polished cement set in creamy tones contrasted with dark wood. Rocabella enjoys a privileged location close to the coastline of the Agios Stefanos village and has lovely views of Mykonos town. The hotel’s main swimming pool terrace (featuring a pool bar and reception) is designed to highlight the panoramic views.

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.
