Grace Mykonos

Ever thought of getting your culture fix in a treatment room? The Hippocrates Ancient Greek Massage channels ancient healing rituals once practised in the temples of old Greece – all deep, rhythmic strokes designed to restore energy and soothe the soul.

East meets west in the Silk Cocoon Facial, inspired by a 4,000-year-old Chinese tradition that leaves skin impossibly soft and luminous. It’s proof that sometimes, the old ways really are the best. The rest of the menu covers the classics – think deep tissue, hot stone, and sea salt scrubs – all delivered with the kind of quiet indulgence that makes this little spa feel like a well-kept secret.

Tucked into the hillside above the peaceful cove of Agios Stefanos, this is a more laid-back side of Mykonos – the kind where the beach is just a few steps away, and the buzz is entirely of your own creation. It’s less about raucous crowds and more about subdued sips on the terrace at sundown.

Though Mykonos Town – with its lively air and intoxicating atmosphere – is never more than 10 minutes’ drive away when the mood strikes. You’ll find a few local tavernas within strolling distance, and the hotel shuttle makes light work of making the pilgrimage to town. Quiet when you want it, close to the action when you don’t – isn’t that the best of both worlds?

The suites that come with private plunge pools, for a little extra luxury.

The easy, breezy, two-minute stroll down the steps to Agios Stefanos beach. Sun-worshipping and sea swims loading.

The contemporary, boho-chic designs. It’s classic Mykonos meets modern luxury. That means natural wood, plenty of rattan, and crisp whites all ‘round.
