Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa

Tucked against the backdrop of rocky Aegean cliffs, just two kilometres from Mykonos Town, this stylish member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World offers breathtaking views of the twinkling marina, turquoise ocean and glorious Cycladic sunsets.

Rooms and suites come with walk-in rain showers, freestanding bathtubs, handmade mattresses and private, furnished terraces. Some have outdoor hot tubs or private pools, as do the larger and wonderfully private two- and three-bedroom maisonettes. There’s even an eight-bedroom villa for celebratory gatherings.

Facilities include a spa and hammam, a heated infinity pool and two terrific restaurants: an all-day dining spot by the pool and a sensational waterfront restaurant serving traditional Greek seafood with a smart, contemporary twist. For exploration further afield, a complimentary shuttle runs to Mykonos Town and Agios Stefanos beach.
