Myconian Utopia, Relais & Chateaux
Effortless glamour is the order of the day at Myconian Utopia, Relais & Chateaux. Jutting out of the natural rock more than 900 feet above Mykonos’ famed Elia Beach, the chic boutique hotel offers an enviable bird’s eye view of the island’s best attributes.
Inside its white-washed walls, the resort keeps things breezy and beautiful with a natural design aesthetic — think furniture fashioned from unpolished woods, rough-hewn rock walls and hand-laid tile paths winding across the property. Island flora provides just enough shade while a floating “beach” ensures you don’t have to stray far to soak up the Grecian sun.
The Instagram-worthy interiors are also enchanting, but the draw here is the sea. Ocean views sparkle from nearly every room and restaurant, inviting you to sit back, relax and soak up your unparalleled surroundings.
- Sea views come standard at Myconian Utopia, Relais & Chateaux. They’re made even more spectacular when viewed from your own private pool. While not all accommodations feature a personal plunge, the option is included with all room types.
- For the ultimate Mykonos retreat, check into the Grand Majestic Villa. Able to accommodate up to 13 guests, the sumptuous stay features up to five bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and dining area that all open onto a furnished terrace complete with a private infinity pool, hot tub and barbecue area.
- With its picture-perfect perch overlooking the Aegean, Pavilion is a feast for all five senses, especially when dining at sunset. The highly seasonal Greek-inspired menu highlights the best of the region’s bounty in dishes such as lamb chops with smoked aubergine puree. It’s the chef’s personal favorite plate.
- Sprawl out on a plush daybed at the luxury resort’s shimmering pool that seems to extend out into the ocean itself. If you prefer sand between your toes, a complimentary shuttle stands ready to whisk you down to Elia Beach, where loungers, umbrellas and thoughtful attendants stand ready to ensure you don’t have to lift a finger.
- The serene Sanctuary Spa follows the Mykonos resort’s natural design palette to tranquil effect. Enjoy a soak in a black marble thalassotherapy pool surrounded by twinkling candles in driftwood-covered votives before indulging in soothing spa treatments featuring renowned skincare brands such as Elemis, Ligne St. Barth and Augustinus Bader.
- Myconian Utopia, Relais & Chateaux’s eco-chic aesthetic starts with its location. Built into the rocky hills above Elia Beach, the property blends seamlessly into its surroundings, enhancing rather than detracting from the island’s natural beauty.
- Whitewashed corridors and twisting outdoor staircases mirror the winding streets of Mykonos, providing the perfect spot for vacation photos without the crowds.
- An emphasis on natural materials gives the simple interiors —furniture is carved from single pieces of wood while soaking tubs and sinks are etched from oversized stone— a sense of effortless elegance.
- Driftwood accents, palapa-covered terraces and glass barriers add to the rustic-chic feel without detracting from the main event: those Aegean Sea views.
- While the sun provides ample light by day, the Mykonos resort really shines after dark. Candles and low yellow lights illuminate the property’s winding corridors and lively flickers highlight the pool, mirroring the star-filled skies above.
