— Destino Pacha Mykonos —

 

Looking for the Ibiza vibe and lifestyle on Mykonos? Visitors will find it at the Destino Pacha Mykonos hotel at Agios Stefanos.  It’s the first resort outside of Spain for Pacha Group, the Spanish company behind the celebrate life-themed Pacha nightclub and hotels and the Lio restaurant brands in that country. Keeping with the Destino Pacha philosophy — “We embrace and strive for a world filled with celebrations and good times” — Destino Mykonos will create vibrant pool, lounge and restaurant scenes, with local and international guest DJs and artists providing the music entertainment so guests can experience “the Mediterranean dream where life is celebrated from sunrise to sunset and beyond.”  Since Pacha Group is also opening a Lio cabaret restaurant on Mykonos this summer (see our recent blog post Hot new places on Mykonos in 2021), you can expect the daily celebrations will shift from the hotel pool to the dinner club in Mykonos Town each night.  

Destino Mykonos has a selection of 34 spacious rooms — including six sea-view suites — in the premises that previously operated as the Oniro Mykonos — A Shanti Collection Hotel.  There are six room categories: Guest, Guest Grand, Guest View, Destino View, Pacha Suite and Cherry Suite, all with luxurious decor and furnishings.  Hotel amenities include a restaurant with a menu featuring “Greek tradition and flavors reflecting a Mediterranean island blend,” and of course the signature sea-view swimming pool and poolside bar where DJs will spin “laidback beats.”

Destino Mykonos opens June 1.  Check its website for early booking discounts and promotions — during April, it featured a number of special offers for pre-season reservations.

— The Elaia House — 

 

The Elaia House is a new airbnb rental hosted by owner Georgia. It’s a cute and cozy bohemian-style studio on the ground floor of a whitewashed, Cycladic-style house overlooking Ornos Bay.  The studio is furnished with a comfy king bed; refrigerator; kettle; dishes, cutlery and wine glasses; bathroom with stand-up shower; and a roomy private sea-view veranda with table and chairs — the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. The unit has wi-fi and air conditioning, and also has parking. Since the house is located in the Aleomandra area of southwestern Mykonos, it’s advisable to have a rental vehicle for easy and convenient transport from the apartment to Mykonos Town, major beaches and elsewhere on the island. For those who don’t wish to drive and don’t mind walking, no problem — the house is about 480 meters from a bus stop for the local route that runs regularly between Mykonos Town, Ornos and Agios Ioannis.  Ornos beach is within reasonable walking distance, while two other popular beaches — Agios Ioannis and Kapari — can be reached on foot, too.

— Soleila Mykonos Villa —

 

Named after the brilliant sunshine that beats down on Mykonos more than 300 days a year, Soleila is a 2-level, 5-bedroom villa on a hill high above Kalafatis beach. Its location is ideal for privacy and complete relaxation — and perfect for people who follow a mindfulness lifestyle. As the villa’s owners note, guests could “effortlessly spend the whole day watching the colours change from morning to noon to sundown and, when the day turns to night, entranced by the soft glow of the pool lights, make a wish upon a falling star.”  Or they could meditate and practise yoga by the pool, or simply sit on a balcony to read a good book and gaze at the countryside and Aegean Sea. 

Soleila’s ground floor features a living room with satellite television; a fully-equipped kitchen with dining area; a guest bathroom; and 2 master bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and shower. The upper level has 3 seaview bedrooms, each with bathroom and shower. There is wi-fi and air conditioning throughout. In total, the villa can accommodate 10 guests. The villa has been cheerfully and tastefully decorated by one of the owners, Pepi Kogla, who handcrafted and painted many of the art pieces displayed in the rooms.

The villa’s leisure and relaxation amenities include a private swimming pool with hot tub and a spacious patio; a veranda with built-in bar and sofa and a dining table that seats 10; an electric BBQ; an outdoor exercise space; and an outdoor shower.  There also is private parking.

The owners offer concierge services and can arrange for private chefs, grocery shopping, on-site private yoga and wellness sessions, restaurant reservations and more.

For families, wedding parties or groups of friends requiring accommodation for more than Soleila’s 10-person capacity, arrangements can be made to book the “twin” villa, Ethereal, right next door. (Scroll down just a bit to see its profile).

— Ethereal Villa —

 

Elegance, simplicity and privacy is how the owners of Ethereal Villa describe the unpretentious luxury of their 2-level, 5-bedroom property near Kalafatis.

With modern, minimalist design and decor, Ethereal offers a tranquil environment from which up to 10 guests will enjoy panoramic views of the beautiful surrounding countryside and the sparkling Aegean Sea. “Atmosphere is incorporated in every space”  — indoors and out — with ambient night-time lighting setting a particularly magical mood.

The villa’s ground floor has a fully-equipped kitchen with dining space, a living room with satellite TV, a guest bathroom, and 2 seaview master bedrooms, each with bathroom and shower. The upper floor has 3 bedrooms, each with bathroom and shower.

There is a large outdoor dining veranda, an electric BBQ, a swimming pool and hot tub,  an outdoor shower, and an exercise area. The villa has wi-fi and air conditioning throughout. Management are available on-call 24/7, and can arrange any requested concierge services.

As mentioned above, Ethereal is right next door to its twin, Soleila (the villas were designed by the same architect and are virtually identical, but each have different owners). Although Ethereal villa can accommodate 10 people, the owners can make arrangements to book Soleila for larger groups of travellers requiring space close together.

–– Kalesma —

 

One of the most highly anticipated new hotels on the island is Kalesma, which we profiled last year in our post New Kalesma luxury hotel set to open.  It had been scheduled to open in June 2020, and several leading travel and lifestyle publications called Kalesma one of the world’s top new hotel openings to watch for during the summer. That was before the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on international travel and resulted in a late start to Greece’s travel season. Kalesma’s debut was postponed to this year, and is now expected to take place in May.

Located in the Aleomandra area of Mykonos, Kalesma is described on its website as a “luxurious Mykonian hideaway in idyllic natural surroundings.” Featuring architecture inspired by traditional Cycladic designs, its 25 suites and two villas are “spacious and elegantly simple … stylish with an uncompromised attention to detail.”

“Rooms have unobstructed sea views, private terraces with al fresco dining areas, poolside sun loungers, outdoor showers and SONOS sound systems,” the hotel website notes. What’s more, Kalesma is “the only hotel in Mykonos where all suites come with their own private, heated pool.”

Besides its incomparable luxury accommodations, Kalesma will become a go-to destination for dining at its all-day, in-house restaurant, Pere Ubu. 

You can read more about Kalesma in the blog post link we posted above,  a Forbes article on top new hotels in Europe, and a February 2020 mention in the New York Times Style Magazine.
