Whether you prefer the buzz of Mykonos Town or the peace of a secluded bay, the island offers a wide range of accommodations. The following properties are consistently ranked among the island’s top stays.
Kalesma Mykonos, Ornos Bay: Built into the hillside above Ornos Bay, Kalesma offers panoramic sea views, spacious suites and villas with private heated pools, and a low-key, design-forward atmosphere. With only 27 accommodations and a layout that feels more residential than resort-like, it’s a favorite for travelers seeking privacy, space, and understated style.
Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Ornos: One of the only resorts in Mykonos with its own private beach and marina, Santa Marina blends full-service convenience with a secure, quiet setting. Multi-bedroom villas, Nobu dining, a full spa, and two pools make it ideal for families or groups who prefer a resort-style stay with everything in one place.
Katikies Mykonos, Agios Ioannis: Known for its minimalist Cycladic design and sweeping views over the Aegean, Katikies offers a more romantic and refined stay. Suites feature private terraces or plunge pools, and the on-site restaurant Botrini’s adds a culinary highlight to the experience.
Kenshō Ornos, Ornos Bay: A boutique property tucked above Ornos Beach, Kenshō is known for its attention to detail, from sculptural interiors to its cave-like spa. It’s quiet, design-led, and ideal for travelers who want a more intimate and thoughtfully curated stay.
Bill & Coo Coast Suites, Agios Ioannis: This all-suite, adults-only property offers a blend of relaxed luxury and strong culinary programming. Its beachfront location, private jacuzzis, and sunset views make it especially well-suited for couples or anyone after a quieter coastal experience
Cali Mykonos, Kalafatis Beach : Set on the quieter eastern edge of the island, Cali offers villa-style accommodations with private pools and panoramic views. With a large infinity pool, restaurant, and its own marina, it’s a smart choice for those who want space, privacy, and a break from the busy western coast.
Private Villa Rentals: For longer stays, family getaways, or added privacy, a private rental offers space, flexibility, and a more personalized Mykonos experience.
Dining is a highlight of any Mykonos stay, with options that range from seaside tavernas to fine dining under the stars. Whether you're looking for a long lunch in the countryside or a lively dinner that turns into a night out, the island offers a mix of settings and styles.
La Petite Maison, Mykonos Town: Located at the Semeli Hotel, LPM brings a French-Mediterranean concept to the island. It’s a popular choice for dinner with a lively crowd, attentive service, and a polished setting that’s close to the heart of town.
Spilia, near Kalafatis : Built into a seaside cave, with shellfish pulled straight from the water, it’s one of the most scenic places to eat on the island. Sunset reservations are highly recommended.
Rizes, near Ano Mera: This family-run farmstead focuses on traditional Mykonian cooking, served in a quiet, inland setting. It also offers cooking classes and is a strong choice for travelers looking to experience a slower, more local side of the island.
To Maereio, Mykonos Town: A small, no-reservations taverna known for its loyal local following and simple, well-executed Greek food. It’s centrally located and fills up quickly, so early arrival is recommended.
Scorpios, Paraga Beach: Part restaurant, part event space, Scorpios centers around shared dining, open-fire cooking, and a daily sunset ritual that transitions into music and nightlife. It’s one of the island’s most in-demand reservations during peak season, often requiring booking weeks, or even months, in advance.
Beefbar, Agios Ioannis: Part of the international Beefbar brand, this location sits right on the water and offers a modern, upscale dining experience focused on high-quality ingredients. The space is relaxed but refined, with strong service and views over the bay.
Mykonos is known for its beaches and nightlife, but there’s much more to explore beyond the usual circuit. Whether you want to get out on the water, visit cultural landmarks, or discover quieter parts of the island, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time.
Explore Chora (Mykonos Town): The heart of the island is a maze of whitewashed alleys, bougainvillea-covered balconies, and small shops. It’s worth wandering without a plan, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when the streets are calmer. Key landmarks include the windmills, the Church of Panagia Paraportiani, and the Little Venice waterfront.
Beach Clubs and Secluded Shores Mykonos offers a mix of lively beach clubs and quiet bays. Psarou, Paraga, and Paradise Beach are popular for their energy and full-service setups, with clubs like Nammos, Scorpios, and SantAnna drawing international crowds. For a more low-key experience, head north to beaches like Fokos, Mersini, or Agios Sostis. These areas are less developed and better suited for a quieter day by the water.
Just a short boat ride from Mykonos, the island of Delos is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece. Once a religious and commercial center in the ancient world, it now offers well-preserved ruins, mosaics, and panoramic views across the Aegean. You can visit on your own by ferry or book a private tour.
Private Charters and Boat Days Spending a day on the water is one of the best ways to see the island. Private charters often include stops at Rhenia, Delos, or hard-to-reach beaches on the southern coast. Most charters depart from Ornos or the New Port and can be customized for swimming, dining, or sunset cruising.
Away from the coast, villages like Ano Mera offer a more local pace. The main square, nearby monastery, and surrounding farmland make for a good half-day trip. It’s a quieter side of the island that’s still easy to reach by car.
Beyond the designer boutiques, Mykonos is home to a number of smaller shops and galleries. You’ll find handmade jewelry, ceramics, and textiles tucked into the side streets of Chora. Early morning or after dinner is the best time to browse, especially in high season.
Mykonos nightlife ranges from open-air bars to world-renowned clubs. In town, spots like Astra and Queen draw a crowd, while beach venues like Scorpios and Cavo Paradiso offer music and events that run into the early morning. Reservations are often required during peak months, and many visitors plan their evenings around sunset dinners followed by a late-night stop.
Sunset is a daily event in Mykonos, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy it. Watch from Little Venice with a drink in hand, book a table at a view-facing restaurant, or take a boat out for a quiet end to the day. For a higher vantage point, 180º Sunset Bar offers panoramic views over Chora and the coast.
