On 26 June, the Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos will welcome its first guests, becoming one of the most anticipated luxury openings in Greece this year. Perched on the western edge of Kalo Livadi Bay in the island's southeast, the 94-room cliffside retreat is the brand's second property in the country, following the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens on the Athens Riviera.

The resort sits on 15 acres of landscaped terraces and gardens designed by renowned Greek architect Nicos Valsamakis, whose vision evokes a Cycladic village. Rooms and suites are connected by shaded stone paths and courtyards, with interiors favouring clean lines, natural materials, and sun-bleached tones. Each accommodation includes a furnished terrace with uninterrupted sea views; many also feature private plunge pools. Sustainability measures include desalinated seawater systems, solar energy, and advanced waste management.

Dining and Wellness

Food and beverage concepts were developed by New York's Rockwell Group. Álef offers a Mediterranean grill centred on wood-fired cooking, while Kafeneo channels a traditional Greek coffee house for slow mornings and sunset ouzo. Corbu brings a coastal Italian twist, and the beach club provides a relaxed setting for cocktails and light bites throughout the day. Private dining options range from intimate dinners to full restaurant takeovers.

Wellness is anchored by a seven-room spa designed by Wimberly Interiors, with treatment suites, a sauna, steam rooms, and an outdoor pavilion overlooking the sea. A fitness studio and yoga space are also available. Down the hillside, a private beach offers a quieter alternative to Mykonos' famed beach clubs, alongside watersports and lounging. Two infinity pools with sweeping coastal views provide another focal point.

Families are well catered for with a kids' club and connecting rooms, while couples can use the on-site chapel for weddings overlooking the Aegean. The resort has its own jetty for yacht excursions and curated experiences such as beach-hopping and cultural trips to the nearby island of Delos, the legendary birthplace of Apollo and one of the world's most extensive mythological and archaeological sites.

The opening comes as Greece continues to refine its approach to tourism, with new spatial frameworks aimed at curbing overtourism and promoting sustainable investment. For travellers seeking to combine island luxury with urban culture, the two Four Seasons properties can be linked by short flights, boat transfers, or helicopter hops.
