15 hotels chosen to cover the island's real choices — town or beach, party or quiet, resort or boutique — at every budget from good-value to no-limit. Shortlist by the trip you want, then book with the hotel directly.
A family-friendly beachfront hotel on Kalafatis, the east coast's long, breezy water-sports beach — well away from the party coast and priced below the south-coast resorts.
A classic, mid-range hotel on the Old Port harbour front, steps from the Delos boats and the old town — the practical choice for a first visit or a short stay.
A contemporary beachfront hotel on Platis Gialos with a lively beach bar and restaurant, sunbeds on the sand and a design-forward look — the south coast's social beachfront address.
Part of the family-run Myconian Collection, terraced above Platis Gialos with sea-facing rooms, a pool and spa, and the south coast's sea-taxi network at the bottom of the hill.
A classic Cycladic-style resort on the sunset side of the island, with its own beach at Agios Ioannis, a large seawater pool and gardens — quieter than Ornos, ten minutes from town.
A design hotel on the slope above Agios Stefanos with sunset-facing pool terraces, a spa and a restaurant — quiet, close to the new port and a short drive from town.
A large resort on the hillside above Elia beach with a thalasso spa, pools and restaurants — the Myconian Collection's more family-oriented option on the island's longest beach.
A long-running boutique hotel in the quieter upper lanes of Chora with a pool, gardens and a well-regarded restaurant — a base for people who want to walk to dinner and dance until late.
A small boutique hotel above Megali Ammos with a destination restaurant and spa, terraces facing the sunset over the bay — refined and quiet, yet walkable to town.
The cliffside design hotel that put Mykonos on the architecture-magazine map: cave-like white suites, an infinity pool over the sea, and a bar that fills with a fashionable crowd at sunset.
The Myconian Collection's Relais & Châteaux hideaway above Elia beach: clifftop pools, spa, and suites with private plunge pools, set well away from the noise of Chora.
Grecotel's flagship on Psarou: whitewashed bungalows and villas stepping down to the beach, an infinity pool over the bay and the island's glossiest beach club next door.
The grand resort of Ornos: a private peninsula, a private beach, pools, a spa and several restaurants, with the sea-taxi hub and Chora both minutes away.
Soho House's Mykonos club and beachside hotel on the neck of land between Paraga and Paradise — the former San Giorgio, restyled as a Cycladic village with a pool, gardens and outdoor dining, open for the summer half of the year.
