In the island where high-end hospitality is the norm, these top players really do stand out!
Of all the Greek islands, Mykonos is by far considered the most cosmopolitan, outgoing and luxurious one. From the crystal clear waters, the golden sand beaches, the vibrant Chora full of galleries, restaurants and high-end boutiques, to the famed wild nights in the 80s and the bubbly atmosphere still living on, it is the place to be of all the places to be. A vibe of relaxed luxury runs seems to run through the whole island -although it maintains its spots of raw natural beauty, known to locals and a select few. Considering that, for a luxury hotel to really stand out, it means to really go beyond the (already elevated) standards of hospitality, gastronomy, and fine aesthetics. Below, there are 5 hotels that make for top choices, for the most eclectic travelers.
