Kivotos Mykonos

Come in July to join Kyvotos for their annual Art Project celebrating contemporary Greek artists.

Any hotel that can boast guests such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Shakira and Prince Albert of Monaco must have something more special than an average 5* boutique hotel. Sure enough, this hotel doesn’t disappoint with its fine architecture, first-class facilities and all-around excess.

On arrival at this fine hotel, first impressions are of a marriage between the natural beauty of the hotel’s location with its fine interiors and design. Built into a hillside overlooking Ornos beach, there are antiques and paintings to delight at every corner. The hotel has almost been built as an ode to Mykonian labyrinthine architecture, where the multi-coloured doors of each suite come off cobbled alleyways that are adorned with wildflowers in pink and purple. As you wander around the estate, you catch glimpses of the discreet private swimming pools that are a feature of many of the suites in this extraordinary property.

Each suite at Kivotos has been uniquely designed, some offering sea views, others offering private infinity pools. For those seeking an even more luxurious and immersive experience, there are 2 villas with direct access to the private beach which are blended into the natural surroundings for even more seclusion. Within each suite, there are fine interiors, branded toiletries and first-class facilities including huge beds and whirlpool baths.

Given the idyllic climate on Mykonos, it is inevitably the case that you are likely to spend most of your time in the outdoors. Kyvotos has done everything possible to make their communal spaces relaxing and enjoyable places to stay. The huge salt-water swimming pool is surrounded by adjoining water mattresses that overlook stunning Ornos Beach. There is a swim-up bar featuring delicious cocktails and a poolside restaurant serving freshly made food. Most uniquely, Kivotos has its own private beach where you can sunbathe literally in the Aegean on natural rocky outcrops!

If this isn’t enough, Kivotos has a 25-meter schooner yacht that can be hired for day trips to secluded nearby islands or usually inaccessible beaches. It can also be used for private candlelit dinners, private parties and even wedding receptions!

Kivotos Mykonos is a truly unique hotel offering uber-luxury and exclusivity that has been sensitively designed to be sympathetic to its extraordinary geographic setting. If you want to feel like a VIP, there is no better place to stay…. anywhere!
