What it is

Kalesma Mykonos is a 25-suite and two villa hideaway on the shimmering Aegean, with stone and stucco Cycladic architecture, buzzing restaurants, an in-house DJ, and a state of the art spa.

What it isn't

Rustic. Luxe touches abound in each room at Kalesma Mykonos, including SONOS sound systems, terrace dining spaces, and al fresco showers.

What we think

If Greek goddess Aphrodite herself were to arise once again from the foamy surf, she might beeline straight to Kalesma Mykonos. The retreat combines palpable glamour with all the Grecian vibes you and your Instagram followers expect from a sojourn here—calming whitewashed architecture and, often, the blissfully blue skies that define the region. Suites at Kalesma Mykonos are nothing short of ginormous—up to 1,650-square-feet—and sleek enough for a spread in Elle Decor, with their color palette of whites and woods. Each one is chockablock with luxury: Nespresso machines, king sized Simmons mattresses, and bathrooms and slippers for slipping into a spa-like state. For an even more opulent experience at Kalesma Mykonos, book a villa—each one is 2,600 square feet, up to four bedrooms and presides over a 360-degree panorama of Delos island. Whichever you choose, know that you can book private yoga and pilates sessions and in-room spa treatments—just as Aphrodite might do.

You're here because

Kalesma Mykonos revels in its celeb-level privacy, and this is reportedly the only hotel where each room has its own private heated pool in all of Mykonos.

The Moment

The only thing better than dinner on a seafront terrace in Greece? That same meal at the hotel’s Pere Ubu restaurant at twilight, where the only thing dreamier than the gauzy pink Aegean is the platter of grilled lobster and caviar before you.
