Mykonos, Rewritten: A Luxe Summer on the Cycladic Star
Whitewashed charm. Wind-swept glamour. And an energy that shifts with the sun. Mykonos has long been a name on every jet-set itinerary, but this summer, we’re curating it differently — less cliché, more considered.
Yes, it’s bold. Yes, it’s loud. But beneath the beach clubs and champagne rituals, Mykonos still holds space for elegance. Whether you’re chasing fine food, fashion moments, or a discreet five-star stay, this island knows how to deliver — if you know where to look.
Here’s your insider edit to doing Mykonos the Wishlist way — with style, serenity, and just the right amount of sparkle.
For the Beach, But Make It Iconic
Psarou Beach
This is where the world’s best swimwear comes to show off. Expect luxury sunbeds, crystal water, and the unmistakable hum of yacht engines offshore. Home to Nammos, where lunch easily becomes dinner.
Paraga Beach
Equal parts party and polish. Book a spot at Scorpios for a sunset that feels like a spiritual experience — with better sound.
Agios Sostis
No sunbeds. No waiters. Just soft sand and cerulean water. For those who know that luxury sometimes means unplugging.
For the Tables That Matter
Matsuhisa Mykonos at Belvedere Hotel
Nobu classics, Cycladic breeze. A fine dining ritual that still feels fresh.
Kiki’s Tavern
No reservations. No electricity. Just grilled meats, ocean views, and the kind of authenticity that money can’t buy. Arrive early, stay long.
Interni Restaurant
Tucked in a lush garden courtyard in Chora. Glamorous, yes, but never trying too hard. Come for the cocktails, stay for the scene.
For Your Most Photogenic Check-In Yet
The Wild Hotel by Interni
The Wild Hotel by Interni
On a more untamed side of the island. Stylish, soulful, and built into the cliffs. For those who want Mykonos without the noise.
Cavo Tagoo
A favorite for good reason. Cave pools, minimalist suites, and views that have earned their screen time. It’s the Mykonos backdrop.
Bill & Coo Suites and Lounge
Secluded yet central. Refined, modern, and deeply romantic. Private infinity pools are a given.
For the Dreamy Detours
Rhenia & Delos Private Yacht Tour
A cultural escape by sea. Swim in untouched bays, then explore ancient ruins with a private guide. History and hedonism, harmonized.
Shopping in Chora
Skip the souvenirs. Head to Linea Piu and Lalounis for statement pieces. Then lose yourself in the maze — the real treasures are always unexpected.
Helicopter Transfer to Santorini
Because once you’ve seen one sunset from above the Aegean, nothing else compares.
There are many ways to do Mykonos. This is how we do it.
