Mykonos, Greece
Bill & Coo Mykonos
Waterfront Wow
What it is
A modern beachside retreat with all the trimmings, including a Valmont Spa, infinity pool, open-air steakhouse with resident DJs, and poolside mixologist-led cocktail bar.
What it isn't
Phoning it in, food-wise. The menus here are created with just-plucked Mykonos ingredients, and the results are as fresh as the sea air.
What we think
There are no bad days on vacay in Mykonos, and there are no bad rooms at Bill & Coo. Even the “starter” room category here is a honeymooners dream: the cheekily named Bachelor Suite Sea View is fitted with a furnished balcony, exposed beams overhead, sculptural furniture and a 390 square foot floor plan that feels even larger, thanks to that endless expanse of Aegean blue out your French doors. If you want to live really large, we recommend the 754 square foot Bill & Coo Suite with Pool, where you’ll have a steam shower, veranda and private infinity pool that appears to blend right into the ocean. Whatever room you select, expect plush perks galore, including a 24/7 concierge, twice daily maid service, Nespresso machine and robes and slippers that are perfect for cozy nights raiding the minibar. Had too much baklava? They even have a personal trainer upon request.
You're here because
Their private beach lounge is pinch-me perfection, including umbrella-shaded daybeds on the sand and waiters who will happily bring you a lobster roll or truffle-topped cheeseburger.
The Moment
Valmont is among the best spa brands to ever come out of France, and you’re not sure any of their locales compares to this one: where you can be scrubbed with black soap in the hammam and have a massage inspired by Hippocrates himself.
