Located in the heart of the Cyclades, the white and blue postcard idyll of Mykonos is one of the most cosmopolitan beach destinations in Europe. In addition to its picturesque appearance, it is also the lively nightlife that attracts around 360,000 visitors from all over the world to the island, which has a population of only 10,000. Which hotels on Mykonos are the best ones to stay in?

For wellness enthusiasts: Kenshō Ornos

Small, but extremely fine. This is how the Kenshō Ornos presents itself on the bay of Ornos. With only 35 luxurious rooms and suites, the hotel offers vacations with a lot of privacy. Thanks to its location, unparalleled 5-star service, and signature design, the Kenshō Ornos is the place par excellence for some celebrity spotting on the island. The hotel is famous and popular for its futuristic-looking Cave Spa. It has won several awards and offers comprehensive, professional treatments.

The Unpretentious: TheTownhouse Mykonos

The 5-star boutique hotel TheTownHouse Mykonos opened its doors only in 2021. It is located in the pole position in the middle of the old town. It is only a few minutes' walk from the famous windmills. This adults-only hotel on Mykonos has 19 rooms and suites offering simple, contemporary luxury. Nader Gebran transformed a historic palazzo into a wonderful hotel for the occasion. A premium gym, the only rooftop bar in town, and top-notch service are among the other perks.

The brand new: Casa Cook Mykonos

From June 10 at the latest, Mykonos will be one trendy hotel richer. Because then the Casa Cook Mykonos opens. And it's right on the coast, with unforgettable views of the Aegean Sea. Not far away is the world heritage site of Delos. The Casa Cook is designed like a small Mykonian village. Reasons for booking are not only the island-typical architecture with natural materials and muted colors. The minimalist feel-good paradise is also convincing when it comes to food. And it's not far from the nightlife of Chora either. All rooms have access to the pool.

The Intimate: Rocabella Beach Mykonos

It is a welcoming world of well-being, wood, stone, sisal and design concepts that makes the Rocabella Beach so popular. Thanks to there only being 24 rooms, you'll have a feeling of experiencing an intimate vacation with extra privacy at all times. Relaxing treatments await at the spa, while active guests can take advantage of the gym. Indoor and outdoor spaces disappear and views are endless. The prospect of having to go home again pleases no one here. Incidentally, the hotel was founded by Kalfopoulou Roy. Their passion for botanicals shapes not only the spa, but also the cuisine.
