What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the whitewashed blocky buildings still stay true to Cycladic architecture, but inside each suite geometric patterned textiles, tiled bathrooms and golden pendant lamps nod towards Marrakech.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Elia Beach sits just down the hill, and the crowded lanes of Mykonos town are ten kilometres away.
The rooms
Every suite looks out over the bay, and ground-floor rooms open onto terraces with private plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The infinity pool looks out over Elia Bay toward Paros and Naxos, bordered by lawn terraces and low sunbeds.
At the table
Breakfast arrives on the terrace overlooking the bay, with homemade cakes and sweet and savory morning dishes.
