Mykonos / Kenshō Psarou

Encompassed in a bay of hills and yachts, with direct access to Mykonos’ most renowned beach, brush shoulders with stars and embrace the unique glamour of Kenshō Psarou.

Grazing the ocean’s edge, this boutique hotel exudes an air of nonchalant hedonism while catering for the nocturnal crowd. Echoing the harmony between the island’s vivacious party scene and tranquil landscape, soft music from the resident DJ drifts to the plunge pools or hot tubs of 29 capacious rooms and suites – inspired by Aegean architecture and unlike any others found on the island. Accents of local stone and wood allude to living amongst the sand as the organic aesthetic continues through rocky walkways up to Villa Psarou – the most private residence of all, boasting four bedrooms and a pool set above the beach with uninterrupted sea views.

By the waterfront, rattan furnishings and pebbled curves form the desert-chic vibe, where dining focuses on traditional Grecian and Mediterranean cuisine with a Japanese and Peruvian flair. Whilst camera-ready cocktails are served beside a jade-hued pool reminiscent of a Balinese retreat, or ocean-side at the hotel’s exclusive beach club.

One of the best locations on Mykonos means there’s also easy access to Platis Gialos and its designer shops, while a stroll along the sand reveals neighbouring celebrity-favoured hotspot Nammos Beach Club. For those seeking respite from the Gatsby-esque atmosphere, Psarou’s holistic spa comes highly recommended featuring treatments designed to promote healing and rejuvenation; with anti-aging facials, Medi-spa technology and quartz sand bed massages on the agenda.
