Mykonos, Greece
Myconian Ambassador Relais & Chateaux
Oceantop Idyll
What it is
A hilltop seasonal hideaway over Platis Yialos beach, with a Thalasso Spa, a locavore restaurant, and poolside bar.
What it isn't
Poorly serviced. This hotel is a member of the illustrious Relais & Châteaux, and it shows.
What we think
If you could dream up your perfect Mykonos hotel, it could very well be this: a sleek yet sultry whitewashed retreat that maximizes each and every ocean view. Guest rooms feel enormous, and very of their place, with their cloud white interiors that make the sea blues off your private terrace all the more blue. The Sea Breeze room begins at 301 square feet and is stocked with all manner of perks, including mood lighting, marble floors, a desk for envy-inducing Zoom calls, Nespresso machine, and a glass walled shower that stands, cheekily, right in the room. Need a more expansive space? The Thalassa Suite is exquisite; request on with a private pool that almost appears to blend in with the Aegean.
You're here because
The spa is as local as they come, with treatments inspired by Ancient Greece—including enriched seawater baths and eucalyptus massages.
The Moment
The only thing better than vacay in Greece is this hotel’s over-the-top champagne breakfast buffet, where you can’t help but indulge in everything from Greek yogurt drizzled with Mykonos honey to baklava. Bliss.
