Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort
Mykonos, Greece
Agios Ioannis
Vibe
Whitewashed Cycladic cubes terrace down to Agios Ioannis beach, framing uninterrupted views across the Aegean Sea toward Delos.
“Cycladic coastal hideaway”
Attentive beachside service, dedicated pool concierges, orthopaedic bedding, and private terraces overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Heated thalassotherapy semi-cave pool, open-air treatment cabanas, and morning yoga inside a stone amphitheatre.
Five terraced coastal acres with a 500-square-meter heated saltwater pool, private serviced beach, and tennis courts.
On Agios Ioannis beach facing Delos, ten minutes by road from Mykonos Town.
“The thoughtful layout makes it easy to unwind whether out and about or inside your room — featuring, naturally, the aforementioned sheer white drapery…”
Rooms
Sheer white drapery frames private balconies overlooking the water, while select suites add heated infinity pools and private steam cabins.
Wellness
Althea Spa Retreat houses indoor treatment suites and open-air cabanas, complemented by a revamp fitness center, tennis court, and amphitheatre yoga.
Backstory
Before opening in 2001, the terraced coastal grounds were occupied only by a lone beach tavern facing sacred Delos.
Eat & drink
Nama serves fresh Aegean seafood outdoors, while Bolla Bar pairs evening champagne toasts with a terrace telescope trained on Delos.
The neighborhood
Quiet Agios Ioannis beach sits directly out front, keeping Mykonos Town and its lively nightlife a ten-minute drive away.
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.
