Since opening in 2022, this stylish hotel near Ornos beach has become a hit with more youthful visitors. Think: friend groups and young couples who love the beach club circuit. Split between two buildings, the 65 rooms and suites come in a wild variety of shapes and sizes: Some are brighter, some feature dark, moodier interior design, some come with partial sea views, larger suites are outfitted with plunge pools. There’s definitely a glitzier, more modern energy to the hotel which is amplified by the dynamic art and design throughout, like the floor-to-ceiling topless sculpture in the restaurant.

• Amenities: Restaurant, spa, pool, beach, adults-only
• Bonus Tip: The hotel has offers on-site dining but a fantastic location means you have easy access to equally fabulous seafood restaurants along Ornos Beach
• Address: Ornos Beach

The collection of low-lying stone-walled buildings that make up this beautifully designed property was among the first hotels in Mykonos, where the likes of Brigitte Bardot would vacation. This history is so important that it’s protected by the Greek Ministry of Culture. The peerless interiors of this 49-room bolthole screams quiet luxury. Think: light-bathed and airy rooms with sculptural terracotta sconces, cushy sofas upholstered in boucle, and stone floors. And to counter all that stonework, robust landscaping makes Mykonos Theoxenia look incredibly lush. But for all the great in-house amenities, Theoxenia’s coveted location will likely inspire exploration; the island’s famous windmills are just next door and the Old Town not much farther.
