The 7 Best Hotels in Megali Ammos

  If you want a sunny seaside getaway in Greece, look no further than Megali Ammos. This charming small fishing village is more intimate than the resort towns, with only a handful of tavernas and bars, and the sand and shingle beach is perfect for sunbathing. The best hotels in Megali Ammos are perched on a hill above the village; they’re close to Mykonos Town too, making them ideal bases to enjoy both the fun nightlife of Mykonos and detox by the beach! Here you properly get the best of all worlds!

For a romantic getaway

• Couples love the Myconian Korali. Perched on a hill above the sea, this dreamy five-star luxury hotel commands some of the best views in Megali Ammos. It’s the perfect place to watch the sunset, crafted cocktail in hand, from the comfort of your hot tub, private pool, or terrace. This is a place primed for your complete relaxation. After a short walk back from the beach, guests can get pampered in the on-site spa.
• Stood on a hill, secluded from prying eyes, Myconian Naia is a luxurious secret. This adults-only getaway is small and intimate, offering 18 exclusive and spacious suites, each with four-poster beds, exposed stone walls, designer pieces and tiny explosions of sunset colours, all spilling out to private balconies. It’s made for people who don’t want to leave their rooms. Some come with hot tubs and private pools, although there’s an on-site infinity pool and poolside bar. Best of all, it lies between two other Myconian hotels — so you get the choice of several gourmet restaurants.
• Set amidst gardens, Livin Mykonos makes for a tranquil romantic getaway. Just outside the town centre, the private balconies lookout over the gardens and town and sea, the rooms light and airy, contemporary but traditionally Cycladic. You can relax in the pool, enjoy authentic Greek food at the restaurant, or just watch the sun set over the sea and hills from the privacy of your private terrace.

For relaxation

• Tharroe of Mykonos is effortlessly laid-back. It’s one of the best places in Mykonos for peace and quiet. Perched on a low hill above Mykonos Town, it’s a little haven of tranquillity far from the madding nightlife but close enough to enjoy it occasionally. It offers boutique white rooms with French doors and handcrafted furniture, as well as an indulgent spa that will melt your problems away. The bar faces the sunset, and the restaurant, famous for introducing organic products to Mykonos, serves creative Greek cuisines.
• Boheme is proof that you can have your cake and eat it. This chic boutique on the outskirts of Mykonos Town is a welcome island of tranquillity, close enough to the nightlife but far enough for some peace of mind. You’ll be in peaceful surroundings in the minimalist white rooms, all opening out to a terrace with stunning sea views, some of them coming with a private hot tub. There’s a pool and poolside snack bar too, and an on-site restaurant if you don’t want to venture into town.
• Ostraco Suites is another great option for those seeking rest and relaxation. On a hill above Mykonos Town, the spacious, stone-floored chic all-white suites open out to sun terraces with sea views; some of them, with hot tubs. If that doesn’t melt your problems away, the on-site yoga, massages, and organic restaurant will.

For a spa break

• Fancy a spa break? Absolut Mykonos is the place for you. Nestled on a hill in Mykonos Town, this family-owned five-star will spoil you senseless with the sauna, hammam and range of massage treatments and the intimate on-site dining at the restaurant, serving up mouth-watering Greek cuisine. The place itself is designed for peace of mind, the luxury rooms and suites are decorated in a light and airy Cycladic style, and the best come with private pools and hot tubs.
