What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
sets a scene that’s as stylishly sedate as anything on the island, a minimalist heaven of clean lines and shades of white.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The sand at Ornos Beach is a short walk downhill, and Mykonos Town is a quick drive away.
The rooms
Whitewashed rooms open to sea views, and many suites add private plunge pools facing the bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved outdoor infinity pool looks straight across Ornos Bay, lined with cushioned sun loungers and umbrellas.
The spa
Glass doors in the treatment rooms face outdoor plunge pools, and therapies draw on Omorovicza and Natura Bissé products.
The gym
Cardio machines and TRX straps face floor-to-ceiling glass, and an outdoor deck hosts instructor-led yoga with sea views.
Infinity Restaurant
Shaded tables sit beside the pool overlooking the bay, serving Greek breakfasts and Aegean seafood dishes like fresh octopus.
How it began
The estate began as a private residence hosting Greek politicians and artists, including actor Melina Mercouri and composer Mikis Theodorakis.
