A Greek Island Getaway in Mykonos
Hidden Gems of the Aegean Sea
When it comes to Greece, Mykonos often steals the spotlight with its vibrant nightlife and stunning beaches. This enchanting island offers a blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect escape for travellers seeking a more tranquil experience.
A Slice of Paradise
Mykonos is characterised by its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque landscapes. Mykonos remains largely untouched by mass tourism, providing visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in nature. The island’s beaches are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or simply enjoying the sound of the waves.
For the adventure enthusiasts, Mykonos offers plenty of outdoor activities. The island’s rugged terrain is perfect for hiking, with trails that lead to stunning viewpoints overlooking the Aegean Sea. You can also explore hidden coves and beaches by kayak or take a sailing trip to discover the surrounding islands. The opportunities for exploration are endless, allowing you to connect with nature in a truly immersive way.
The warm hospitality of the locals also adds to the overall experience. Mykonos isn’t just renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife, it’s also celebrated for the warm hospitality of its locals.
We found that the genuine kindness and friendliness of the island’s locals was just as memorable as its hotels and stunning landscapes.
Many locals were happy to engage with us, offering insights into the island’s history and customs.
Relaxation & Wellness
If relaxation is what you seek, being situated on the coast is the ideal spot. Many accommodations on the island focus on wellness, offering spa treatments, yoga classes, and peaceful environments where you can unwind. Picture yourself lounging by the pool, sipping on a refreshing cocktail, and soaking in the sun. The slower pace of life here allows you to recharge and escape the stresses of everyday life.
Many accommodations in Mykonos are tailored for relaxation and wellness. Boutique hotels and retreats often feature spa facilities offering a range of treatments, from traditional massages to holistic therapies. I indulged in a deep tissue massage, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the Aegean Sea and enjoyed a rejuvenating facial using local, natural ingredients. Wellness in Mykonos emphasises holistic approaches, focusing on mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Our accommodation was at the Myconian Utopia Relais & Châteaux which is perched 300 meters above Elia Beach. This superb hotel embodies the essence of sophisticated hospitality and breathtaking natural beauty, catering to true connoisseurs of Mykonos. This luxurious haven not only offers the highest standards of service but also harmoniously blends the stunning surroundings with modern opulence. Upon arrival we could see a strong commitment to sustainability which was evident in the use of locally quarried, hand-cut stone and eco-friendly materials, creating a beautiful contrast with the iconic design elements and bespoke furnishings found within its ultra-glamorous interiors.

Deos - A way of being
Faced with the serenity of this Aegean vista and the vibrancy of Mykonos’ landscape, it is impossible to feel anything but at peace. The sunsets are incredible, you can gaze at the pinks and oranges of sunset as they dance across the shifting evening sky.
The restaurant has a simple, elegant aesthetic designed in harmony with the seascape beyond, the dining room is a sight to behold! The interior ceiling is accentuated by wood carved in wave-like forms, reminiscent of an art installation. The dedicated team of chefs works with farm-fresh ingredients to craft extraordinary dishes. It’s more than a meal, it’s an experience, a celebration of local community, a journey through the seasons, and a taste of Mykonos’ spirit.
At Myconian Deos, design is expressed through the resort’s choice of colour palette and natural materials, woven into its overall philosophy.
