37 Best Hotels in The Cyclades, Greece

Overlooking picturesque Kalo Livadi beach, this adults-only resort has a chic, sophisticated atmosphere tempered with splashes of bohemia. The design reflects the beauty of Cycladic island minimalistic architecture with whitewashed spaces and smooth curves; comfortable rather than luxurious, the best option is to go for a suite with private Jacuzzi for a true getaway feeling. Service is friendly and there's a good restaurant at the very top of the property with fine views.

At this quiet, no-frills hotel, conveniently located near Megali Ammos Beach and Mykonos Town, pretty white cubes face the sea at an elevated location and all rooms, decorated in blue, white, and green, have terraces with appealing views. Plain and functional, everything is kept clean and well maintained. The pool area is a very tranquil place to hang out during the day, and the celebrated windmills are a five minute walk away along the coast road.

The Rooster doesn't shout its virtues at dawn, it is a far rarer bird than that—close to unspoiled Livadia Beach amid cedar trees and farm fields, the hotel arose from a philosophy of wellness and replenishment. Owner Athanasia's stint at Vogue is reflected in the bohemian world traveler feel of the dwellings—more second home than corporate box. Immersion in nature is the groove with the House of Healing Spa much to the fore offering Ayurvedic treatments and fire ceremonies, and dining options focus on superfoods and farm to table ingredients. If you get the program, cock-a-doodle-do, you will love this place.

A new proposition for Mykonos; a luxury resort on the northern coast, far from Mykonos town. Secluded and chic, the cliffside escape above tiny Merchias beach has peerless views across the Aegean, five-star amenities, and a bold, modern decor. The ultimate private getaway is promised in a selection of suites and villas that feature plunge pools or spas and benefit from outdoor terraces that take advantage of the contours of the site. Dining is taken care of at Icáre, curated by Michelin-starred Ioannis Parikos, and, more informally, at the waterfront Almira Beach Lounge.

Location is everything at this central property. Named after a Greek nymph, this quiet and convenient hotel is right in the middle of the action and yet many of its rooms offer distant sea views. The hotel’s architecture reflects the island’s Cycladic minimalism with a perfect balance of the native style mixed with contemporary glass and stone. Rooms are handsome with strong bathrooms. Though convenient to the town, the pool area, with its terraces and garden view, will tempt you to linger. 

The former San Giorgio has been remodeled by hip private members' brand Soho House. Above a sheltered cove and a few minutes' walk from their beach club, Scorpios, the hotel reflects the relaxed and cool brand style. Polished concrete, wooden fittings and natural materials help to create an organic atmosphere with a defiant neo-bohemian spirit. An open restaurant serves a Mediterranean menu next to the pool carefully decorated with rattan armchairs, macrame hammocks and teak loungers. The good-looking staff are eager to please and there are intriguing diversions on offer from private picnics on Delos to starlit yoga sessions.

Palm trees and topiaried conifers and hedges give the air of a glamorous retreat to this Small Luxury Hotel, a few minutes from pretty Parosporos beach. Yria was the historical name for Paros, and the hotel reflects the relaxed, timeless atmosphere of a Greek village. Quiet, spotlessly clean and well appointed, Parian marble floors and bathroom suites lend a tasteful touch to the classy designed rooms and common areas. Indulgent guests can choose the bungalows with private pools.
