Going beyond mere accommodation, our Myconian Collection is a leading Greek hospitality group that makes your hotel a major highlight of your visit to the island of the winds.
Boasting fourteen very special properties at five of the most privileged locations on Mykonos, our five-star Myconian Collection is not a faceless corporation but a local family whose insider knowledge, strong bonds with the local community, and decades of experience in hospitality bring a human face and personal touch to the art of luxury hospitality.
Our story of the Myconian Collection starts all the way back in the late ‘70s, when George Daktylides, a visionary born and raised on the island, put to use his knack for entrepreneurship by opening the Kohili hotel. Much has changed in these forty- five years for the island and the Myconian Collection alike. Mykonos has blossomed into a bucket-list destination for travellers the world round, and George’s four sons took over the reins after their studies – though, ever-active, George still can’t resist occasionally helping out. Our resorts have received awards, gained prestigious titles such as Relais & Châteaux and Legend status by Preferred Hotels & Resorts, won over myriad guests who return time and again…
More than just a group of hotels, our Myconian Collection curates sights, emotions, flavours, moods, ideas and experiences. The very best that Mykonos has to offer has been distilled into the form of fourteen exceptional properties at five unforgettable locations on one iconic island, managed with an ethos that combines warm, genuine service with a constant push for perfection.
Here, we share with you 14 + 1 reasons why Myconian Collection should be on your travel bucket list this year.
1. Deos – A Way of Being.
Named for the awe-inspiring beauty of its natural setting, Deos enjoys magnificent views from the famous windmills of the old harbour, across the neighbouring islands of Delos, Syros, and Tinos, to the edge of the horizon. Contemporary Cycladic architecture intimately follows the landscape and enhances its connection to nature with accents such as rustic walls made from rocks quarried on site, generous plantings of indigenous flora, and scenic apertures that selectively frame the view. There is almost a sense of drifting weightlessly between the sea and sky, caressed by the sun and a gentle breeze, at eye level with sunsets and moonshine over the Aegean. Yet, the vibrant streets of Mykonos Town are a mere five-minute walk away, down a scenic footpath leading directly to the harbour promenade.
Rooms feel more like private residences and exude a warm minimalism. Ample marble bathrooms are discreetly screened from the elegant living areas that open onto large scenic terraces. These immaculately landscaped and furnished outdoor spaces, shaded by a pergola and featuring either a pool or a jacuzzi, are the signature experience at Deos. Immersing guests in something altogether immaterial, the vast expanse of the Aegean is a sight that has moved humanity since ancient times.
The dedicated wellness spaces include a gym fully equipped for fitness, Pilates, and yoga, as well as the sensational Sana Spa with an indoor pool and relaxation area, a sauna, steam bath, and luxurious treatment rooms. The ethos at Deos is all about honouring a sense of place. Even the renowned gastronomy of the Myconian Collection returns to its roots, celebrating Greek culinary culture with homegrown ingredients and seasonal produce. A Mediterranean diet, prized for its health benefits, is celebrated in sumptuous breakfasts and light poolside lunches. Fine dining at Epico offers the most memorable taste of Deos, whether seated indoors or al fresco under the stars with views across Mykonos Town.
2. Korali -Delivering a Discreetly Lavish Stay.
From its vantage point overlooking Mykonos Town, the Myconian Korali delivers Relais & Chateaux indulgence and elegance. True to the group’s sky-high standards of service, the team are eager to cater to every need and develop personal relationships with the guests. Bright, sun-kissed accents of colour add vibrancy to sleek, elegant spaces. Nothing is left to chance – which is more than obvious: quintessential Cyclades vistas of the windmills and Mykonos Town, trend-forward yet timeless interior design, and a certain je ne sais quoi adorn the interiors and decks. But, more than anything, luxury at the Korali is about substance – the experience itself. About knowing that your needs are not just met but exceeded. From Executive Chef Panagiotis Tsoukatos’s extraordinary cooking, which can be served straight to your room, to high-class guest services that include shopping, helicopter rentals and butler service, everything works in unison to ensure that your satisfaction is sky-high. Break free from the ordinary in elevated accommodation that brings a splash of colour to your life and plenty of excitement to your Greek holidays.
3. Kyma -Heartfelt Design Welcomes you to a Journey that Lasts Forever.
Proof of the Myconian Collection’s commitment to continuously strive for the best possible experience for its guests is the Kyma, a member of Design Hotels, located on the very site where the first Myconian Collection hotel opened its doors forty-five years ago. Owing its name to the Greek word for “wave” – a powerful symbol of the sea and Mykonos’ fame as “the island of the winds”, the Kyma continues to make waves on the scene by offering guests first-row seats to the marvels of Mykonos Town. Just a few steps from the buzz of one of the most happening destinations in the entire Mediterranean yet offering the privacy and tranquillity you deserve, this resort is, simply put, unforgettable – as are its individual parts. Imagined in classic chic and embodied in relaxing white and signature Greek sky blue, the Kyma isn’t just an outstanding accommodation option for one of the most popular islands in the world but a destination in itself – thanks to fantastic dining by the expert hands of the multi-awarded Executive Chef Panagiotis Tsoukatos, entertainment and drinking options, including the authentically Greek Noa restaurant as well as a sun-kissed outdoor lounge and a spa that’s simply to die for.
4. Naia -Vibrant Artistic. This is the Getaway of your Dreams.
A prime hotel that speaks your language, the Myconian Naia oozes character as it sits at its privileged location on the hillside above Mykonos Town – just a stone’s throw from cosmopolitan action but conveniently quiet and private when you want it to be.

6. Avaton – A Retreat for Your Body & Senses.
A luminous constellation of stars at the bottom of the infinity pool; the salty breeze of the Aegean; the sky painted orange as the sun sets over the sea; the gorgeous texture of reclaimed wood – details like these may be small but their memories can last a lifetime. It’s moments like these that the Avaton aspires to offer its guests. In Ancient Greece, “avaton” would be a special place that only the initiated could enjoy. In present-day Greece, the Myconian Avaton is still very special but it extends a warm welcome to everyone. Formed in equal parts by nature and man, the five-star gem is sculpted high on the rock of Elia Beach. Bright white walls soothe the eye while charming accents in natural materials and earthy colours set the mood for a stay that brings you closer to bliss by the second.

To explore the limits of serenity; to reconnect with yourself and your loved ones; to experience the fondest feeling of home – the home of your dreams… Its name might deservedly convey glory and class, yet this property maintains an accessible charm, a warmth that luxury accommodation sometimes lacks. Perhaps it’s the way it embraces nature, or the openness of the fantastic interiors, which bring the beautiful outside of Mykonos in, letting you partake in the changing of the light and opening up your heart. Bright, luxurious yet free from pretentiousness, this hotel shows you how easy life can be. Three types of superb rooms and two executive suites set the mood – but you don’t just live in your room.
