Myconian Kyma

Kyma is king of the hill, a 5-star haven of luxury hospitality high above Mykonos town yet just a short stroll from the action – the very spot where George Daktylides placed the first stone of the Myconian Collection some 40 years ago. Ever since, this strikingly beautiful and intimate 5-star member of Design Hotels has cultivated a loyal jet-set following that prizes not only the world-famous views of the windmills and Little Venice, but the warmth of its hallmark service, cool ambience and beautiful bones. Neither too trendy nor too traditional, Kyma is a place for true originals. It hits the right note between laid-back luxury and meticulous attention to detail – revealing a world of sublime experiences, lush gardens, panoramic views, private terraces, and art-filled spaces that come alive in contrasts of marble and wood.

Guests absorb slow-motion pleasures in this timeless environment, enhanced by a recent renovation that accessorised its classic chic with a bevy of iconic 1960s design beauties. The pool deck is the heart of the hotel, a brilliant blue gem surrounded by shaded sunbeds, an outdoor lounge and a fabulous bar that lives up to its reputation as a hotspot, by day and night. The restaurant serves up irresistible flavours rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, made from the freshest seasonal produce farmed off family land.

And naturally, the spoiling doesn’t stop there: you will love our double-storeyed structures in the white-washed vernacular, rooms and suites designed with every comfort in mind, some sporting terraces with a private pool or Jacuzzi that almost eclipse the dazzling Aegean view. Here you’ll relax and recharge in the hands of superb therapists in the serene spa, and you can rely on the expert advice of the Guest Relations team to make almost anything possible. Kyma is Greek for ‘wave’, and equally the last word in sophisticated, family-friendly hospitality on Mykonos.

Kyma is a luxurious retreat that promises nothing less than your own slice of paradise. Few places capture the timeless beauty of bold white-washed Cycladic cubes and cobblestone streets under a deep blue sky better than Kyma. The harmony is carried over onto sun-dappled terraces with Jacuzzis and infinity pools, and into the rooms and suites that offer crisp white interiors replete with contemporary comforts and precision in every detail. A recent revamp added marble, wood, glass, and stone to this vernacular, infusing tradition with new vigour, complete with original artworks by well-known international artists. As a sense of wellness washes over you in this haven of tranquillity, let the wave of pleasure carry you aloft.

Whether it’s a delightful breakfast by the pool, a refreshingly light meal, or three-course fine dining at Noa, inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, Taste at Kyma is a memorable experience. As a Myconian family, cuisine and service are at the very heart of our sense of hospitality, and we have cultivated long-standing ties to local farmers and fishermen. Our meticulous sourcing of the freshest seasonal ingredients and organic produce is a core passion. We aim high — as food connoisseurs, we know that haute cuisine relies on the quality of ingredients at the chefs’ disposal. Our chef’s skill is therefore given free rein to set standards of excellence at every turn, from morning till night, but nowhere more outstanding than with cutting-edge cuisine at NOA Greek Restaurant. As for George’s Bar, all of the guests’ paths cross there, whether it’s to order fresh smoothies and ice-cold cocktails by day, or a chilled Ouzo before going out on the town.
