Where to Stay in Mykonos for a Honeymoon or Romantic Visit?
For most couples, the main choice is between Mykonos Town and one of the beaches.
1. Staying in Mykonos Town
My top recommendation for most romantic trips is Mykonos Town. It has the island’s best selection of restaurants, bars, nightlife, and shopping, all packed into a maze of pedestrian lanes. Stay here if you want to walk out of your hotel and have plenty to do without taking a bus or taxi.2. Staying at a Beach
A beach hotel is better if swimming, relaxing by the pool, and having more space matter more than being in the middle of the nightlife. Platis Gialos and Ornos are my favorite beach bases for couples, with good restaurants and regular buses to Mykonos Town. The best beach hotels in Mykonos tend to have larger pools and more resort-style facilities. There are also many excellent hotels with private pools around the beaches and Mykonos Town.My Advice: For 2 or 3 nights, stay in Mykonos Town. For a longer honeymoon, I prefer a good beach hotel at Platis Gialos or Ornos and taking the bus or taxi into town when you want dinner or nightlife.
The 19 Most Romantic Hotels for Couples in Mykonos
1. Mykonos Blu – Psarou Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 27900
Romantic resort on a hill overlooking Psarou Beach, with a large pool, spa, restaurants, and a private serviced beach area. An excellent choice for couples who want a full beach resort but still want easy access to Mykonos Town. Restaurants and beach clubs at Psarou and Platis Gialos are within walking distance, and Mykonos Town is about 10 minutes away by bus or taxi.2. Belvedere Hotel – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 25122
One of the best luxury hotels in Mykonos Town, with a beautiful pool, excellent restaurants and bars, and a strong wellness program. Matsuhisa Mykonos is a longtime favorite for Japanese-Peruvian dining. Rooms and suites range from the main hotel to the nearby Hilltop complex, with private pools available in several categories. Excellent location on the edge of town, close enough to walk everywhere but removed from the busiest lanes.3. Semeli Hotel – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 27466
Luxury hotel with 2 pools, a spa, and excellent dining at Thioni and Krama. The location is a big advantage: just outside the busiest part of Mykonos Town but only a few minutes’ walk from Little Venice, the windmills, restaurants, and nightlife.4. Katikies Mykonos – Agios Ioannis
Hotel phone: +30 22890 27890
Small luxury hotel above Agios Ioannis Beach, with 2 infinity pools, a spa, and sea views toward Delos. All rooms and suites have private verandas, and the top suites add private pools. Dining includes Botrini’s Mykonos and the Upper and Lower Deck lounges. Children under 13 are not accepted, making this a particularly quiet choice for couples.5. Bill & Coo Mykonos – Megali Ammos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 26292
Excellent couples’ hotel with an infinity pool, Valmont spa, sunset views, and fine dining at YĒVO. Suites are spacious and some have private pools or hot tubs. Mykonos Town is a short walk away, though the road is busy and has no sidewalk.6. Kivotos Mykonos – Ornos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 24094
All-suite resort on a small private beach near Ornos, with 2 pools, a spa, restaurants, and its own sailboat for private cruises. Some suites have private pools. The location is quieter and more private than staying directly on Ornos Beach, but its restaurants and beach clubs are only about a 5-minute walk away.7. Mykonos Riviera – Tourlos/New Port
Hotel phone: +30 22894 40100
Luxury hotel overlooking the marina at the New Port, with a full-service spa, 2 infinity pools, and excellent sunset views. Dining includes LAFS, Seamera, and the Pool Club. Rooms and suites have private terraces, with private pools or hot tubs in many categories. A good choice if you want a resort close to Mykonos Town without staying in the busy center.8. Branco Mykonos – Platis Gialos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 25500
Upscale hotel directly on the sand at Platis Gialos, with a pool, spa, restaurant, and beach club. Some rooms and suites have outdoor hot tubs. One of the best locations on the island if you want to spend most days at the beach: restaurants, the water taxi to the southern beaches, and the bus to Mykonos Town are all an easy walk.9. Cavo Tagoo – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 20100
Stylish 5-star hotel best known for its large sea-view infinity pool, sunset scene, and suites with private pools. Dining includes Meraki’s Greek-Mediterranean menu. The hotel sits above the road between the Old and New Ports, with Mykonos Town close by; the hotel shuttle is easier than walking the busy road.10. The Coast Bill&Coo – Agios Ioannis Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 26292
Adults-only beachfront hotel with just 25 suites on Agios Ioannis. Many suites have private pools or hot tubs, and the hotel has its own beach, pool, spa access, and restaurants including COOZEST and Beefbar Mykonos. A strong choice for a honeymoon if you want a quiet beach setting and don’t need to be within walking distance of Mykonos Town.11. Kove – Ornos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22894 43000
Small luxury hotel between Ornos and Korfos, with a main pool, spa, sunset lounge, and Greek dining at Ena.

Hotel phone: +30 22890 28930
Boutique hotel above Agios Stefanos with a large infinity pool, spa, gym, and wide views over the Aegean, Delos, and Mykonos Town.

Hotel phone: +30 22890 27370
Hilltop hotel with panoramic views over Mykonos Town, the windmills, and the sunset. Facilities include a pool, spa, and Barbarossa restaurant. A Mycenaean tholos tomb was discovered on the hill, and a large rock at the summit was later used as an observation point by the pirate Barbarossa. Mykonos Town is about a 15-minute walk away, but part of the route follows a busy road without a sidewalk.14. Bluetopia Suites – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 24034
Tiny hotel in Little Venice with some of my favorite balconies in Mykonos. The best suites sit directly above the sea with views toward the windmills and sunset; there is also a less expensive street-view suite. There is no pool or resort setup here. Stay for the location, balconies, and the experience of sleeping right in Little Venice.15. Nissaki Boutique Hotel – Platis Gialos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 27666
Luxury hotel in an excellent position between Platis Gialos and Psarou, with a sea-view pool, outdoor jacuzzi pool, restaurant, and spa. Several of the larger suites add indoor jacuzzis, outdoor pools, or both.

Mykonos Theoxenia – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 22230
Historic 1960s hotel combining its original modernist architecture with a stylish contemporary renovation. The big attraction is the location immediately behind the Kato Mili Windmills: Little Venice, restaurants, bars, and the Old Port are all an easy walk, while the hotel itself feels removed from the busiest lanes. Facilities include a large pool, spa, restaurant, and bar.17. Amyth of Mykonos Super Paradise – Super Paradise Beach
Hotel phone: +30 21112 10022
Small hilltop hotel above Super Paradise Beach, with 30 rooms and suites, 2 pools, and Amyth Kouzina restaurant. Some rooms and suites have outdoor jacuzzis or private pools. It’s about a 10-minute walk downhill to Super Paradise Beach and its beach clubs. This is a good base if the beach scene is a priority; for frequent trips around the island, I would rent a car.18. Harmony Boutique Hotel – Mykonos Town
Hotel phone: +30 22890 28980
Good-value boutique hotel above the Old Port, with a pool, spa, restaurant, and private balconies or patios in every room. The location is the main reason to stay: close to the restaurants and nightlife of Mykonos Town without being buried in the busiest pedestrian lanes.19. Boheme Mykonos – Megali Ammos Beach
Hotel phone: +30 22890 23300
All-suite boutique hotel with an infinity pool and excellent sea and sunset views. Every suite has a private terrace, with heated plunge pools or hot tubs in selected categories. Bilo serves Greek food and has one of the hotel’s best sunset settings. Mykonos Town and the windmills are close, but the road into town is busy and has no sidewalk.

Hi Dave! My wife and I are coming to Mykonos for a honeymoon in mid-July and are staying there for a total of four nights. We have our last night on the island at the Kensho Ornos which was booked with IHG Points. We currently have a Marriott hotel booked on points but due to some recent bad reviews of the hotel, we decided to change locations. We are torn between the Myconian Ambassador and the Petasos Beach Resort and Spa. The Myconian is slightly more expensive but not by much. We are interested in being near the beach for our hotel, want access to the beach clubs, and also want to see Mykonos Town. Would love your help and advice!
I know these hotels well and I like them both. The Myconian is more luxurious, for sure. But Petasos is closer to the beach (not a lot closer but enough that it makes a significant difference – it just feels a lot closer). Also Petasos is steps from the Mykonos Town bus stop while the Myconian is a 7-minute walk away (not far but not right at your doorstep).
Hi Dave,
Looking at going to Mykonos for honeymoon in August. We like trendy bars, nightlife, luxury hotels, and nice beaches. Can you recommend an area to stay in Mykonos and also any hotels?
The vast majority of trendy bars and nightlife are in Mykonos Town, and the hippest luxury hotel there is Semeli Hotel. Semeli has two fantastic, trendy restaurants and a bar onsite (you gotta try Krama Restaurant, even if you don’t stay here), but the hotel owners are also the owners of 5 of the top clubs in Mykonos Town, so they are very tuned into what’s going on in town at that moment.
Unfortunately, there are no great beaches near Mykonos Town. For a stylish hotel with beachfront rooms, try Branco Mykonos. Branco offers luxurious rooms and suites with direct beach access, many with private outdoor jacuzzis. Branso hosts music events on the beach three times a week with a live DJ, and they are within walking distance of the two best beach clubs in Mykonos: the world-renowned Scorpios and the ultra-luxe SantAnna. Plus they have an awesome pool, a spa on the beach, and great food and cocktails. There is a bus stop nearby, too, making frequent trips into Mykonos Town.
If style is the top priority, I’d recommend Kensho Ornos. This is a design-forward, luxury hotel modeled after the maze-like streets of a traditional village, using straw-textured plaster, aged wood, Myconian stones, and elevated Cycladic elements. The hotel overlooks Ornos Beach, just a short walk away, and boasts 2 pools, a jacuzzi, and a phenomenal bar and restaurant.
My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon for the beginning of June and we are between Mykonos Grand, Myconian Ambassador, and Anax Hotel. Which one do you recommend we stay at?
These are all wonderful hotels but I prefer the location of the Myconian Ambassador set just back from Platys Gialos Beach. There are many more bars and restaurants here than in Agios Ioannis (where the Grand and the Anax Resort are located). And you can walk along the coast here between different beaches (very fun) and the buses into Mykonos Town run more frequently from Platys Gialos. But – if you’re looking for quiet and solitude then Agios Ioannis is great. There’s a small beach and a couple of good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.
Hi Dave, I’ll be travelling with my girlfriend, We’ve booked everything in Santorini following your guide. For Mykonos we would be coming in on 25th up til 27th of October. We are mainly interested in beaches and natural beauty not so much into the party scene. Would the Mykonos Essence hotel be a good choice?
Mykonos Essence has a quiet location about a 5 minute walk from Ornos Beach. But it’s unlikely that you’ll be hitting the beach that late in October. It’s still possible to have warm beach weather but probably not. Also, there won’t be much of a party scene in late October so staying in town would give you a more central location without the downside of being in the thick of the busyness.
Hi Dave! We’re traveling to Mykonos is early October as part of our honeymoon. Cannot decide whether to stay closer to the beaches or Mykonos town. Will the beaches still be nice in October? We’ve used your reviews and travel guides to book most of our honeymoon and this is the last leg. Wanted to get your thoughts on the Rocabella hotel? Thanks for the help!
Great hotel but less than ideal location. Sort of isolated. In October I definitely prefer staying close to Mykonos Town as everywhere else is pretty quiet.
What is the best month to visit Mykonos for a honeymoon holiday? We’re thinking somewhere between mid or late September and late October. What would you recommend?
September is a great month on Mykonos. But it does depend what you’re looking for. If you want dance parties and live DJs then best to be here before September 15. Good beach weather usually extends to late September or early October (and sometimes into the second half of October but that’s hard to guarantee). Some restaurants and hotels do begin to shut down by mid-October but there’s still plenty of open restaurants and low key nightlife into late October.
