The house
HiltonGranite cliffside resort
The resort sits high on the northeast coast, trading the island's beach-club circuit for raw granite cliffs and quiet water.
What it’s good at
Notable
Tiered whitewashed Cycladic cubes embedded into raw granite cliffs facing the Aegean.
Listed
Complimentary airport transfers welcome arrivals before private check-in across forty-five cliffside villas.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
all 45 cliffside suites and villas come with a private pool and hot tub. But it’s the beach that really stands out.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dark-sand Merchia Beach sits just below the cliffs, and Mykonos Town is a thirty-minute drive away.
The rooms
Every suite has a private plunge pool or hot tub on its terrace, looking straight across the Aegean.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Azalea Spa has a Himalayan salt room and a heated indoor pool, and treatments draw on Thalgo rituals.
At the table
Icáre serves Greek dishes inspired by Ikaria's Blue Zone culinary traditions, with open-air tables set beside the pool.
How it began
The local Zisimopoulos family spent three years building here, creating a quiet alternative to their hotel in Mykonos Town.
