Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort

Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort is nestled on the shores of Ayios Yiannis beach, just over 4km from the town of Mykonos and the airport.

True to authentic Cycladic architectural style, the spacious rooms and suites feature dazzlingly white interiors, enhanced by sea-blue accents and vividly colourful flower arrangements. Pebble-floored, spa-worthy bathrooms, complete with touches of Greek marble, free-standing designer tubs and, in some cases, steam cabins and Jacuzzis, make way for Mykonian arches and cosy seating areas which lead through to private balconies and terraces with beautiful views of the gardens or the cobalt-blue Aegean Sea. Some of the grandest suites also provide private pools and barbecue areas – ideal spots for chef-curated, gourmet dinners under the stars.

Soak up the exceptional pastel-coloured sunset hues as they melt into the sea above Delos Island, and dine either indoors or al fresco on the terrace at Nama – a sophisticated, pool-side venue which serves up exquisite Greek fare, of the freshest local ingredients, alongside fine wines. Savour a selection of sommelier selected wine pairings or take a wine class at the Wine Cellar, before stopping over at the disco ball-clad interiors of the Bolla Bar, which provides outdoor telescopes and stunning bay views.

Alternatively, sample some hand-crafted cocktails at the stylish pool bar or enjoy some champagne and nibbles on the deck as the sun sets. Personalised picnic baskets can be arranged for days out exploring the island, otherwise why not settle in for a romantic dinner at a private table by the lapping waves.

When you're not taking a dip in the seawater pool, soaking up some sun in the pool-side cabanas, or dipping your toes in the crystal-clear water on Ayios Yiannis Beach, embrace your fitness goals at the 24-hour gym or head to the courts for a scenic game of tennis. There’s also the Althea Spa Retreat if you feel like indulging in an extensive list of massages and treatments, taking a dip in the thalassotherapy pool or enjoying a detoxifying sauna bath and steam room session.

Immerse yourself in the culture of this sun-drenched, fishing village bay with visits to the windmills, museums and ancient site of Delos nearby, or shop to your heart’s content at the vibrant Mykonos Town, known for its buzzing nightlife scene and world-renowned restaurants.
