Mykonos Theoxenia - Mykonos

Located steps from Mykonos’ iconic windmills, the landmarked boutique Mykonos Theoxenia seamlessly blends its ‘60s heritage with modern luxury. Having previously hosted the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Mick Jagger, this ultra chic retreat is ideal if you’re looking for laid-back luxe with sea views, within easy reach of Mykonos’ bustling Old Town.

A mere stroll from the picture-perfect Little Venice waterfront, this hotel is on the edge of Mykonos’ centre. Packed with whitewashed, bougainvillea-lined buildings and cobbled streets, this area is filled with seemingly endless shops, restaurants and bars, and it’s also where you’ll find the heart of the buzzing nightlife scene that this island is known for. There’s a very modest sandy section of beach beneath the hotel’s elevated setting, known as Tender Beach, or the generously sized Megali Ammos beach is roughly 900 metres away. Mykonos International Airport is a mile and a half to the east.

Mykonos is known as one of the most glamourous Cyclades, and Mykonos Theoxenia certainly lives up to this reputation. Originally built in 1960, in the same stone as the sea walls, this stylish resort is now a protected landmark by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Inside, fresh decor blends bright and earthy tones with boucle fabrics and wood or stone flooring, with a nod to ‘60s glamour.
