Myconian Utopia
Built into the rock 300 metres above Elia Beach and boasting breathtaking views of the deep blue Aegean, this Relais & Châteaux resort is a firm favourite with couples and honeymooners seeking a romantic getaway in a picture-postcard setting.
From early morning until late into the night, sun-kissed guests drift from one temptation to the next. Start with a buffet breakfast of traditional treats and home-baked delicacies; laze on shaded loungers by the fabulous infinity pool; enjoy a light lunch at the spectacularly perched Pool Club; spoil yourself with a four-hand massage at the Sanctuary Spa; then round out the day with a meal to remember at the prized Pavilion restaurant, whose exceptional wine list includes both international vintages and a selection of rare gems from Greek wineries, picked by the expert sommelier.
Rooms and suites all have views of the bay and champion the use of local materials. Huge wood-framed beds are dressed in soft macramé blankets, chairs and loungers are often delicately carved from single blocks of wood, and spacious bathrooms feature beautiful stone washbasins. All rooms have a furnished terrace or balcony; some even feature freestanding granite bathtubs, private pools or outdoor hot tubs.
