Mykonos Theoxenia

This chic design hotel brings a touch of 1960s glamour to Mykonos Town’s waterfront.

 

The Theoxenia is an original ’60s hotel with a rich history and status. Stay here and you’ll be following in stylish footsteps – previous guests include Jackie Onassis. Part of the Louis Hotels Boutique collection, the hotel is a national preserved property thanks to its innovative style and architecture showcasing local stone and craftsmanship. It’s since been renovated, but retains a sense of ’60s glam and the low-rise design gives a private, intimate feel.

 

The palm-fringed pool is the focal point of the hotel, and you’ll just need to decide whether to opt for a poolside lounger or a four-poster daybed with drapes. Either way, you’ll be able to soak up views of the floral gardens, Mediterranean Sea and iconic white windmills in peace. There’s a lot of care and attention given to the food here and it’s beautifully presented. Breakfast is particularly good – it’s served buffet-style, but the choices change daily and you’ll find delicious premium produce. The main restaurant, The Plate, serves up gourmet Mediterranean dishes alongside hand-picked wines. The Breeze In bar offers an extensive cocktail list, headed up by the signature Theoxenia Vertigo and served in mason jars and other creative glassware, and the Breeze Out pool bar specialises in fresh grills and crispy fresh salads.

 

Stylish rooms have a neutral colour palette and subtle ’60s throwbacks with patterned feature walls and fabrics. All have a balcony or terrace. Classic Doubles offer the choice of garden, sea or seafront rooms, while Deluxe Seafront Rooms have a lounge area and a raised bedroom area.
