Mykonos Family Hotels – My Tips

  • Best Areas for Families:
    Ornos Beach: My top pick for families with young kids. The bay is protected from the wind, so the water is calm and shallow. It also has a grocery store, pharmacy, and bakeries right behind the beach.
    Platis Gialos: The transport hub. It is lined with hotels and restaurants directly on the sand and serves as the main dock for the water taxi.
    Mykonos Town (Chora): Stay here for the atmosphere. While known for nightlife, the clubs don’t really start until midnight, so the evenings are surprisingly family-friendly. It’s a maze of shops and cafes. The cobblestones are tough for strollers.
  • My Top Family Hotels:
    In Town: Semeli Hotel. A rare find – quiet, located in a corner of town but steps from the action, and features a heated pool (unusual in Greece).
    Luxury (Ornos): Santa Marina. One of the few hotels on Mykonos with a truly private sandy beach. It offers good privacy for families, plus a great playground.
    Luxury (Platis Gialos): Petasos Beach Resort. Located on a private peninsula between Platis Gialos and Psarou beaches, giving you easy access to both.
    Best Villa: Myconian Villa Collection (Elia Beach). Huge spaces, private pools, and away from the crowds.
  • Best Value/Midrange Options:
    Petinos Beach (Platis Gialos): Classic Cycladic style, located right on the beach, and very welcoming to families.
    Erato Hotel (Ornos): A short walk from the beach (not beachfront), which saves a lot of money. Clean, simple, and friendly.
  • The “Wind” Warning (Meltemi): Mykonos is nicknamed “The Island of the Winds” for a reason. In late July and August, the Meltemi wind can be strong. Ornos and Platis Gialos are on the south side and are generally protected. Northern beaches can get very choppy and sandy.
  • Transport: Use the Water Taxi: Taxis are scarce on Mykonos (there are only about 30 for the whole island). Do not rely on them (use Uber app if desperate). The best way to beach-hop is the Water Taxi which leaves from Ornos and stops at Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia. It’s fun for kids and beats the crowded bus.
  • Family-Friendly Beach Clubs:
    Pasaji (Ornos): Great sushi and burgers, comfortable loungers, and the water is shallow for youngsters.
    Hippie Fish (Agios Ioannis): Famous for being in the movie Shirley Valentine. It has a relaxed, boho vibe that isn’t too “party-focused.”
