Psarrou, a peaceful little white village on the Greek island of Mykonos, is a truly VIP experience. It’s a playground of the rich and famous, a favourite haunt of celebrities and global jet-setters — expect to see paparazzi snapping the luxury yachts anchored in the bay. Psarrou Beach is considered by many to be one of the best beaches on Mykonos, with its calm azure waters, fine sand, scuba-diving, and sun loungers. It’s renowned for its restaurants too, which cater to a well-heeled crowd, so beware of the prices! This also means that the best hotels in Psarrou are at the luxury end of the spectrum — some ideal for a spa break, some for family holidays, others for a romantic getaway.

For a romantic getaway

• Mykonos Blu is where you go to forget the real world — a beautiful beachfront village of luxury private villas (the best boast private plunge pools or hot tubs) with airy white-on-white rooms, pools and direct beach access. Couples can unwind in the spa, lounge by the cave pool, or indulge in an aperitif at the cocktail bar before dining at one of the many restaurants.
• The Myconian Ambassador is another property which is perfect for couples. Guests can indulge in Pantai treatments before going for a dip in the enormous pool, or soak in their own private hot tub. The spacious, light rooms all feature hand-selected design pieces — some units even come with private pools — and afford gorgeous views of the sea.

For families

• Luxury five-star Nissaki Boutique Hotel’s is a luxury property with swish suites, but also two- and three-bedroom villas, which are ideal for a family holiday. The rooms are elegant and spacious, with white walls, indulgent bathrooms and private terraces with stunning sea views. The private beach and excellent restaurant are an added bonus.

For a luxury spa break

• Petasos Beach Resort and Spa is a luxury hotel set on its own peninsula with panoramic sea views. Guests can enjoy thalasso-therapy treatments in the 500-square-meter spa and wellness centre. Swim in the two-level swimming pool, shower in the waterfall, before dining at the restaurant to the sound of famous DJ sets. A fantastic pick for total relaxation.
