This intimate and luxurious boutique hotel, perched on a hillside overlooking Agios Stefanos beach, is for those searching for tranquillity away from the bustle of Mykonos town
Location
With just 32 rooms and a great location five minutes’ walk from the no-frills Agios Stefanos beach, this is a great boutique choice for the area. The beach is small, yet rivals the more popular shores in the southern part of the island. The hillside is dotted with several hotels and guest houses, and there are a few tavernas and restaurants within walking distance. Mykonos town is a five-minute drive, while the airport is only 15 minutes away by car, making it easy to get around to all of the key sights either by hire car, taxi or bus. Ferries to other islands depart from the nearby New Port.

The vibe
Grace Mykonos feels like a sensory retreat. It features contemporary interiors painted in hues of Cycladic white, creating a tranquil atmosphere, while a calming sandalwood scent fills the entire property. Plus, its size means that it isn’t overrun with other guests, and the overall vibe forces you to slow down and embrace the peaceful sounds of the waves nearby. Relaxing music is played by the pool, which is situated on the third level of the hotel, surrounded by a range of comfortable wooden loungers and beds (from where you can eat lunch if you fancy). This is not a hotel for partygoers, but rather for those on a more relaxed schedule.
