Mykonos measures just 33 square miles, but its legend is larger than life. Ever since Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis arrived in the 60s, it’s served as one of the Aegean’s most fashionable destinations. Clothing-optional Paradise Beach is the primary party beach, followed by Psarou, which also boasts a dive center and windsurfing. Take a break from sand and surf with a stroll around the charming whitewashed shops and galleries of Hora.
Bronze bodies bask in the sun on golden beaches, blue-domed churches dot the island, and picturesque windmills paddle the horizon. This is Mykonos, one of the most charming and fashionable of the Greek isles. Chora, its capital, is a cubist jumble of whitewashed houses and a maze of alleyways built long ago to foil pirates. Get lost in these narrow, twisting lanes filled with exclusive boutiques, art galleries and world-class restaurants. Take a 4×4 to explore the hidden corners of this stunning Cycladic island, or take a short boat trip to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delos, a sacred islet of ancient ruins and the mythological birthplace of the twins Apollo and Artemis.

Poised on a hilltop above the old harbour, its panoramic views at eye level with the horizon, Deos is a way of being. Drifting seamlessly between sea and sky, inner and outer worlds, in harmony with nature. Keeping time in ways almost forgotten. Feeling how the pulse quickens, from the tranquility of a sublime sanctuary to the vibrant energies of Mykonos town a short walk away.
When one imagines a Greek island, the image presented to them is one that is perfectly balanced between the sea and sky, and truly awe-inspiring from every moment. A reflection of its namesake, Deos Mykonos – the Greek word for “awe” – is simply an introduction to the magic of this beguiling destination, sitting high on a hill on the precipice of Mykonos Town, overlooking the iconic destination in a way that is intimate, curated, and effortlessly Greek. Quite simply, this is the best – and only – way to live life during the height of the summer season.

The hotel offers private dining on its secluded beach, just a few steps down from your Suite – the perfect location for wedding proposals and honeymooners.
You’ll be hard-pressed to decide what you love most about Kivotos. Is it the private, golden-sand beach, one of the loveliest on Mykonos? The seawater pool with a swim-up bar? Or perhaps the upper-level pool surrounded by fragrant gardens? Maybe it’s the sense of bliss you find with daily yoga classes, the relaxing hammam, or the therapeutic spa treatments. Truth be told, you’ll relish every moment in this refuge, with 39 suites and two villas that are designed to reflect the spirit of a family home and adorned with an impressive collection of objets d’art. Just-caught seafood in the candlelit veranda completes the experience.
