Jake M.★★★★4.1

Budget Mykonos is hard but this makes it doable. Pool, bar, shuttle to beaches, and you meet people who become your crew for the whole stay.

Ana C.★★★★3.9

The hostel itself is basic but clean and the location matters more here — close enough to Mykonos Town to walk, far enough to avoid the worst noise.

Sarah L.★★★★★4.7

Infinity pool overlooking the Aegean with Mykonos Town visible in the distance. The thalassotherapy spa and the pool bar make it very hard to leave the property.

Tim N.★★★★★4.6

Exceptional service and the best pool views on the island. The evening shuttle to Mykonos Town is a great touch. Genuine luxury at a fraction of the Mykonos ultra prices.

Isabella D.★★★★★4.9

Nobu Mykonos at this hotel is extraordinary — exceptional sushi on a Cycladic terrace overlooking the Aegean. The pool and rooms are both stunning.

Marcus F.★★★★★4.8

The best-located luxury hotel on Mykonos — right above Mykonos Town with the windmills visible from the pool. The Nobu dinner was a genuine highlight of our Greek trip.

What guests say

Francesca K.★★★★★5.0

The same team as Katikies Oia — infinity pool, Cycladic white architecture, total seclusion despite being close to everything. Greece's most glamorous island at its finest.

Philip R.★★★★★5.0

Private plunge pool, butler service, and the most stylish hotel on an island full of stylish hotels. The Mykonos sunset from the terrace bar is worth the stay alone.

Local Insider Tips

  • July and August are extraordinary but exhausting and expensive — visit in June or September for the same beauty at 30% lower cost
  • The ATM machines in Mykonos Town run out of cash on weekends in peak season — withdraw cash at the port
  • Taxis are infamous scammers — agree on a firm price before you get in or use the KTEL bus for beaches
  • Delos is genuinely unmissable — one of the most important ancient Greek sites, mostly deserted, 20 minutes by boat
  • Restaurant prices in Little Venice are triple everywhere else — eat one meal there for the view, eat the rest away from the tourist strips
