What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
from any one of its private balconies or verandas, to say nothing of the two hundred meters of private beach, you’d be hard pressed to notice anything other than the stunning Greek isle setting.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Agios Ioannis bay remains quiet and sheltered, with Mykonos Town just a ten-minute drive north.
The rooms
White marble floors run through the rooms, and each private balcony looks out across the sea.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Candlelit indoor pools and a Finnish sauna sit underground, and treatments draw on Dead Sea mud.
The gym
Treadmills look out through palm trees to the Aegean Sea, set against exposed stone walls.
Ilios Restaurant
Tables sit on tiered stone terraces above the beach cove, serving Mediterranean grills under timber pergolas.
At the table
Breakfast buffets open beside the infinity pool, and evening tables in the main hall face the open sea.
How it began
Founder Yiannis Kousathanas was born on neighboring Delos, later building this coastal resort in 2003 as his family's flagship.
