Located a few miles north of the centre of Mykonos, the Princess of Mykonos offers very refined decoration and setting. Mostly for a young clientele enjoying both going out and seaside vacations.

The hotel is located on the edge of Agios Stefanos, a few hundred feet from the Kastro hotel. Alike the latter, it overlooks the village of Agios Stefanos and has a view over the Aegean Sea. A view which is unfortunately not impregnable as evidenced by the adjacent buildings under construction. Mykonos' downtown area is located 2 miles away and the airport 2.5 miles away from the hotel. Careful, the hotel has no parking lot.
The furniture made of wood and rattan, designer lamps, the mixture of bright and hot colours, the bungalow rooms, suites and apartments (most of them have seaview) do not unsuit with the general refinement of the place. Satellite TV (with a score of channels), radio, direct dial telephone, air conditioning and a mini-bar are provided in all rooms. Bathrooms with showers or baths.
The architecture follows the style of the Cyclades and decoration is undoubtedly the highlight of this hotel built in 1991. The 38 luxury bungalow-rooms (including some suites with living room, open kitchen, sofas, a music centre, etc.) are arranged on 2 levels around the beautiful seawater swimming pool (around 646 square feet) and its pool bar. Elegant (but small) lobby and lounge area with antique furniture, pottery, sculptures and luxury shop. The hotel also has a small sauna and a steam bath.
The restaurant serves - à la carte - Italian cuisine of good quality. You must therefore replace the mezzes and other "papoutsakis" with specialties of pasta (with seafood, in particular), grilled meats or more classic salads (with shrimps). The restaurant is small (a dozen tables indoors), but beautifully decorated and above all, open in the evening after 7.00pm... until 3.00am for late sleepers.
Although the Princess of Mykonos is not next to the sea, the beach, in the little village of Agios Stefanos to the north of Mykonos, is not too far away. It is covered in sand and provides a pleasant setting in which to relax. Nothing is ever too far away on the island and there are other accessible beaches nearby, such as Ornos, Platis Gialos, and Elia. At an easy pace it should take 20 minutes at the very most to reach the furthest of these. Paradise beach and Super Paradise beach are particularly busy in high season.
The Princess of Mykonos, despite its proximity to the beach of Agios Stefanos, is not particularly suitable for families. Its services (restaurant open until 3.00am, room service) and its luxury setting make it a hotel attended mostly by young couples wishing to enjoy both the charm of this beautiful hotel and the pleasures offered by the festive downtown of Mykonos.

This boutique hotel in Agios Stefanos is a complete joy. Couples looking for a romantic getaway will not be disappointed! The Grace Mykonos and its tranquil ambience provide a perfect setting that is further enhanced by the utter charm of the typical Cycladic architecture and the friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel opened in 2007, and its modern decor is perfectly in kilter with its facilities. What the amenities lack in quantity they make up for in quality.
A small hotel located near the Bay of Tourlos that offers customers a very elegant and traditional setting.
This newer hotel (it opened in 1998) is a real success. Overlooking Agios Stefanos beach, a few miles north of the town of Mykonos, it offers service of very good quality in a delightful ambiance.
The San Marco stands a good way from the hustle and bustle of Mykonos, making it a good destination for those looking for relaxing surroundings. Its friendly and welcoming staff will do everything they can to make you feel at home here. Although the hotel offers a basic level of comfort, it is perfectly pleasant and fine for a few days' stay. The surrounding area is more or less deserted, which makes it the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. The hotel's clientele comes primarily from Europe, particularly Great Britain and Italy.
There is no denying that the Alex hotel isn't a luxury hotel. Nevertheless, it's not uncomfortable either. It looks more like a boarding house than a hotel. Run by a Greek family, you may feel that the mother of the family comes across rather temperamental but in reality, she is rather nice. The amenities in general could do with some renovation, especially the decoration of the guestrooms. However, that would mean that the place would somewhat lose some of its charm...

The Mykonos Theoxenia is open since 1996. The hotel accommodates families but more than 90% of the clientele is composed of couples. Its very modern decoration gives a certain style to the place but it exudes a rather cold beauty. Those who are looking for animation will be interested in moving to another place.
Although a little bit secluded inland, this hotel is frequented by both Greek and foreign tourists and provides a level of equipment and ambiance up to its official category.
A member of the select Relais & Châteaux club, the Myconian Ambassador comes with outstanding credentials, the reasons for which rapidly become apparent as you discover the hotel's facilities. The service is of high quality and the setting is magnificent... Its elevated location affords an unobstructed view of the Aegean sea, but unfortunately this means it's not next to the beach. Don't worry though, the one at Platis Gialos is just a few steps away... The establishment is ideal for couples, but families are offered the warmest of welcomes as well.
A Member of the hotel chain Starwood, the Santa Marina Resort and Villas has existed since 1986. Since its renovation in 2005, the hotel has enjoyed a facelift. The modern decoration in the common areas is evidence of this. In addition, there are few hotels in Mykonos with a space devoted to children, and the Santa Marina is one of them. Families are welcome! It is open during the summer season, namely from April to October.
This beautiful modern hotel, composed of more than 80 rooms, is located at the end of the beach of Platys Gialos, in the south of Mykonos. It offers a superb view onto the Aegean Sea. Its luxury facilities and refined rooms are the main assets of the Petasos hotels' masterpiece.
