Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa

Mykonos, Greece

The location

Just as the Mykonos capital, Chora, tumbles down the rockface to the Aegean Sea, the Mykonos Riviera nearby is terraced down the hillside, a central corridor weaving its way through the buildings like an ancient alleyway, opening up to spaces with captivating views of port, sea and town.

Spaces

Engagement with the location is everything and key public areas are a sequence of outdoor spaces: the roof terrace which serves as the all-day dining restaurant, a speciality restaurant and the infinity pool on the first level all offer numerous vantage points to soak up the views. By contrast, the reception lounge is under the pool, so glazed holes have been punched through the ceiling and by day the area shimmers in reflections of water and sunlight from above. Guestrooms combine white marble and blue accents – the colours of Mykonos – and the spa, which is purist in design, includes a large hammam, therapy pool and outdoor garden.
