Recently, I stayed on the famous cycladic island of Mykonos. Mykonos stands for whitewashed alleys, vibrant nightlife, turquoise waters, and magical sunsets. Yet, the eternal question when planning a trip is usually: Do you choose a hotel directly on the beach for maximum relaxation, or a city hotel to be right in the center of the action?
The answer is simple—you just take both. With DEOS Myconian, the renowned Myconian Collection has created a hideaway that not only masters this balancing act effortlessly, but undoubtedly crowns itself as the best hotel on Mykonos.
Panoramic Views & Rooms: Luxury Above the Rooftops of the Aegean
Perched high on the hills, the hotel opens up to a panorama that simply takes your breath away: the sweeping view over the iconic old town of Mykonos, the gentle contours of the neighboring islands, and the sparkling Aegean Sea.
The rooms and suites are a masterpiece of contemporary Cycladic design—spacious, warm, minimalist, and elegant. An absolute highlight: many rooms feature their own private pool on the terrace, while others offer a hot tub that is best enjoyed in the late afternoon as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon, bathing the sky in warm shades of gold, pink, and violet.
Culinary Delights from Morning to Night: Indulgence with a Spectacular Backdrop
A successful vacation day starts with a great breakfast—and DEOS sets standards here. The breakfast buffet is curated with incredible attention to detail: fresh local specialties, Mediterranean delicacies, the finest baked goods, and healthy options leave nothing to be desired. Everything tastes delightfully fresh and authentic. In addition, an à la carte menu is offered, where you can find everything from egg specialties to Greek-inspired French toast.
The culinary indulgence continues throughout the day: at lunch and dinner, you can enjoy the most delicious dishes. As the sun sets, twilight bathes the scenery in a warm light, while the infinity pool is softly illuminated and the lights of Mykonos Town begin to sparkle down in the valley.
The Best of Both Worlds: City Life & Beach Vibes Without Compromise
Anyone traveling to Mykonos knows the dilemma of rental cars, narrow streets, and the hunt for parking. At DEOS, all of that is a thing of the past:
Carefree trips to town: Between 8:00 AM and 1:00 AM, the hotel’s own golf carts shuttle regularly between the property and the town. The drivers take you comfortably down to the alleys for strolling, shopping, or partying at any time, and pick you up again just as effortlessly. No stress with rental cars, taxis, or parking spots!
Beach day de luxe: In the mood for a day by the sea? A complimentary shuttle takes guests to the group's own beach resort. That way, you never have to choose between proximity to the beach or the city—you simply enjoy both to the fullest.
Effortless arrivals and departures: Arrival and departure are also seamlessly arranged by the hotel—whether you arrive by ferry or plane, a driver is already waiting for you!
Wellness & Relaxation: An Oasis of Calm
The infinity pool, flanked by comfortable loungers, perches high above the Aegean Sea. While crowds pack the bustling streets below, you can take in the iconic blue-and-white Cycladic Chora from a serene vantage point above.
After a night of dancing or a sunny day by the sea, the hotel's own spa invites you to switch off. Equipped with an elegant indoor pool and a diverse selection of soothing massages and treatments, you will find exactly the peace and rejuvenation you expect from a luxury vacation.
Resume
DEOS Myconian is no ordinary hotel—it is a destination in its own right. The incomparable sunset views, the rooms with private pools, the first-class service, and the complete freedom to move around flexibly thanks to the golf cart and beach shuttles make it the number one choice on Mykonos for me.
Anyone looking for the perfect mix of relaxation, culinary excellence, and Myconian lifestyle has found their favorite spot right here.
