The 6 Best Hotels in Ornos

Kivotos Mykonos

Ornos is one of the most upmarket parts of Mykonos. The white cycladic houses, tavernas and luxury hotels, scattered over the hillside, tumble down towards the bright blue waters of the Aegean. It’s a great place for a family beach holiday. The waters in the southern part of Ornos Beach are shallow, so kids can safely paddle and swim. There’s also kite-surfing nearby, on nearby Korfos Beach, if you’re feeling adventurous, and some of the island's best restaurants are located in the pretty white village. Obviously, the best hotels in Ornos are upscale, though there’s still a good range, from romantic getaways with private yachts to self-contained studios primed for family fun.

For couples

Kivotos Mykonos

  • Kivotos Mykonos is a luxury, intimate hideaway on a hill above the sea looking out over its private beach. The hotel will send a VIP limo to pick you up from the airport. And if that doesn’t sell it to you, perhaps the caviar and cigar bar will, or the hotel’s private yacht — perfect for hiring one evening to drink champagne and watch the sun go down. One of the best places for romantic couples or honeymooners!
  • Kensho Boutique Hotel is designed for relaxation. Everything from the romantic coastal views to the laid-back bar to the spa and on-site hammam make it a haven of tranquillity. Rooms are light and airy, an effortless mix of luxury and traditional Cycladic designs, complete with sea and mountain views, and spa baths. Dine at the award-winning gourmet restaurant or get a facial at the spa. Sheer bliss!

On the beach

Mykonos Ammos Hotel

  • Mykonos Ammos Hotel is a five-star boutique hotel set on the fine-sands of Ornos Beach; a truly tranquil idyll with elegant white-on-white rooms, private balconies, and hot tubs. Unwind in the spa, then, grab dinner at the oh-so-stylish Farina Italian Restaurant, and head out to the beach bar for a cocktail. This charming boutique will melt away your problems.

For family fun

Santa Marina Resort

  • Santa Marina Resort & Villas is a barefoot luxury retreat that’s perfect for families or couples. Perched on a secluded peninsula, this lovely hotel has its own private beach, infinity pools, beauty salon and pampering spa. Cocktails are prepared by a famous mixologist; you can take helicopter rides, or jet skis or speed boats; dine on Asian food or Mediterranean — your move. Best of all, you can let the kids run wild in the playground and the multi room villas are perfect for family groups.
  • Leonis Summer Houses are self-contained studios and villas by the beaches of Korfos and Ornos — ideal for a family beach holiday. The cool, airy studios and houses are of a contemporary style with splashes of Cycladic design, complete with kitchens or kitchenettes. No restaurant, but plenty to choose within walking distance.

Couples on a budget

Osom Resort

  • Couples love Osom Resort. While not as luxurious as some of its Ornos cousins, it still has everything you need for a romantic seaside holiday in the Cyclades. This elegant collection of rooms and suites, all come with terraces and stunning sea views. There's a large outdoor pool and the beach is a short walk away.
