Mykonos Hotels – My Tips

  • We have personally visited every hotel on this list. These are the best places to stay on Mykonos, hand-picked from years of experience on the island.
  • Where to Stay in Mykonos: Mykonos Town (Chora) is my top recommendation for most visitors. It is the heart of the island’s nightlife, shopping, and dining. I prefer staying here and taking the bus to the beaches during the day.
  • Best Beach Locations: If you prefer staying right on the sand, book a hotel at Ornos or Platis Gialos. Both beaches are sheltered from the wind, have excellent restaurants, and offer frequent bus service to Mykonos Town.
  • Best Luxury Hotels: Mykonos Blu (Psarou), Panoptis Escape (Elia), and Deos (Mykonos Town).
  • Best Boutique Hotels: Cali Mykonos (Kalafatis), Bill & Coo Suites (Megali Ammos), and Bluetopia Suites (Little Venice).
  • Best Hotels for Families: Santa Marina is the best on the island for kids. Mykonos Blanc and Petinos Beach Hotel are also great family picks in Platis Gialos.
  • Private Pools: If your budget allows, booking a suite with a private pool provides a great escape from the peak season crowds.
  • Book Early: Mykonos hotels at the top of this list often sell out 6 to 8 months in advance, especially for July and August.
  • Transportation: Taxis are very limited on the island. I recommend using the bus system, which is reliable and efficient for getting between the main beaches and Mykonos Town. If you get desperate, use the Uber app to summon a ride (but it’s expensive).

The 60 Best Hotels in Mykonos

1. Mykonos Blu – Psarou Beach

View from above three different shapes and sizes of pools overlooking a beach and sea at Mykonos Blu resort in Psarou, Mykonos.
One of the most romantic places on Mykonos and one of my favorite hotels in Greece. Guests here will find a dazzling main pool, shaded circular cave pool, and shallow kids pool. The culinary program features both gourmet and casual Mediterranean fare, plus a sushi lounge and beach bar. The decadent wellness center offers signature and tailor-made treatments. Bungalows, suites, and villas epitomize Cycladic minimalist style in stark white with only the blue sea adding pops of color to the rooms, many with private jacuzzis or pools. I love the location between two great beaches. The hotel faces Psarou Beach, which is well-protected from the wind and where you’ll find the hotel’s beach club. In the other direction, it’s an easy walk to Platis Gialos beach and the excellent restaurants there. The hotel’s free shuttle service gets you to Mykonos Town in about ten minutes.

The location is excellent for Super Paradise Beach access, about a ten-minute walk to major beach clubs, though proximity to the parties can cause some noise at night despite the soundproof windows. A car is recommended for stays here.

Mykonos Town Hotels

Mykonos Town is the hub of the island and the center of the island’s nightlife. It’s a super fun vibe at night when the narrow lanes are packed with an international crowd of party-goers. Lots of great food, high-end shopping, and trendy bars. Half the fun is getting lost in the twisty-turny alleyways, open to pedestrians only. Some people prefer to stay in the beach towns, but I recommend staying in town and making the short commute to the beaches during the day. Return to town in the late afternoon and enjoy the incredible atmosphere of Mykonos Town well into the night.

Ornos Beach Hotels

My favorite beach in Mykonos. Ornos is beautiful with wonderful views and surroundings, but is especially crowded in the summer months. Clean, crystal-clear water that is calm and very kid-friendly. Good restaurants and good bus connections to Mykonos Town. This is the beginning of the water taxi route, with stops along the south coast beaches, from here heading east to Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and ending at Elia.

Good bus connections to Mykonos Town. Psarou beach is an easy ten-minute walk in one direction. Paraga, Agia Anna, and Paradise are walking distance in the other direction.

Elia Beach Hotels

The longest beach in Mykonos, Elia is a wide, golden stretch of sand with some fantastic high-end resorts. The only caveat is that it’s a good distance from Mykonos Town and can feel a little isolated. Water taxis and one bus route connects Elia to Town.

Megali Ammos Hotels

Generally not-too-busy beach about 500 meters from Mykonos Town. Nice sand and swimming but can be windy. It’s an easy walk from the Chora, though there are no sidewalks. The hotels below should be considered as part of Mykonos Town but close to Megali Ammos beach.

Agios Stefanos Hotels

This is the beach nearest to the ferry port at Tourlos and about 3 km from the heart of Mykonos Town. Agios Stefanos is a small, sandy beach with a handful of restaurants and beach clubs, including the amazing Limnios Tavern offering gorgeous sunset views. This is not the most beautiful beach in Mykonos, but it’s great for swimming and is semi-protected from the winds. The area is well-connected by buses to and from the airport and Mykonos Town.

Kalo Livadi Hotels

Long, wide swathe of sand with crystalline waters, luxury hotels, and a couple of relaxed beach clubs. A great mix of cosmopolitan style and rustic relaxation. Kalo Livadi is a little distant from Mykonos Town (though connected by bus) and isn’t on the water taxi route, which keeps the worst of the crowds at bay.

Paradise Beach Hotels

One of the island’s top party beaches (along with Super Paradise and Paraga), with a handful of beach clubs lining the shore. Calm early in the day but hedonistic after sunset when the beach parties get going. Frequent bus connections to Mykonos Town and on the water taxi route.

Aleomandra Hotels

One of the least developed parts of the island, Aleomandra is ideal for quiet getaways to nameless beaches and mythical sunsets toward Delos Island. Just a handful of hotels are here; most of the buildings you’ll find are private villas. Highly romantic but may feel remote for some.

Panormos Hotels

Low-key beach with just one restaurant and one beach club keeping the area active but not overwhelming. Panormos is a little more exposed to the winds than the south coast beaches, but its setting in a cove shelters it somewhat. This is one of the longest beaches on Mykonos. No bus service or water taxi; you’ll want a car to stay here.

Kalafatis Hotels

Kalafatis, fronts a small, coastal village and beach of the same name. Set too far east for the water taxi, though there are bus connections to Mykonos Town, this long, tree-lined beach never feels crowded. Kalafatis is most popular for windsurfing, with a water sports center at the north end, a few umbrella sunbed sets for rent, and plenty of open space to spread a blanket and claim for yourself.

The second largest village on Mykonos Town, surprisingly small Ano Mera still retains some of its traditional elements with a handful of historic sights, such as 13th-century Gyzi Castle, 18th-century Paleokastro Monastery, and 16th-century Panagia Tourliani Monastery (above) with its attached ecclesiastical museum. Its handful of tavernas and shops offer authentic dining and local products at more reasonable rates than you’ll find in Mykonos Town or on the beaches.
