Cali Mykonos
Mykonos, Greece
Vibe
Whitewashed structures cascade down a rugged cliffside to a secluded cove, offering a serene sanctuary above the Aegean Sea.
“Cliffside cove sanctuary”
Excavated stone structures, planted living roofs, and a 130-metre heated seawater pool curving along the cliff.
Round-the-clock digital concierge assistance, sun-lounger ice buckets, and private heated seawater plunge pools for suites.
Subterranean contrast therapy suite with ice plunges, infrared saunas, and an outdoor Pilates reformer pavilion.
Above a secluded cove in Kalafatis, overlooking the Aegean Sea on the quieter southeastern coast.
“Arriving at Cali Mykonos is a slow reveal - an ancient olive tree, whitewashed walls, and then the Aegean stretching endlessly below.”
Rooms
Suites and villas feature cool marble, natural woods, and expansive terraces with private heated seawater pools facing the Aegean.
“Hidden on a craggy fortress on the shores of the secluded beach town of Kalafati, its slick white columns hover down to the sea in perfect unison.”
Wellness
A subterranean spa houses ice plunges and infrared saunas, complemented by an open-air fitness deck with Pilates reformers overlooking the water.
“Cali’s aquatic tour-de-force furthers the hotel’s integration into the landscape – its water being equally crystalline as the private port’s below.”
Backstory
Named for the founder's mother, the family-built retreat welcomes guests with a 750-year-old olive tree transported from southern Greece.
Eat & drink
Avlí serves morning-caught seafood along the cliff edge, while Apollo Bar pours mythology-inspired cocktails to evening DJ sets.
The neighborhood
Tucked along the tranquil southeastern coast at Kalafatis, the property provides quiet cove swimming far from the island's bustling nightlife.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
