Cali Mykonos

Mykonos, Greece
Nestled in a hidden cove on the famed Greek island, Cali Mykonos emerges like a modern-day Atlantis—a dazzling cascade of white against azure. This family-run venture, named after the owner's mother, opened its doors in 2022, redefining hospitality on one of the popular island's most secluded coasts.
Mykonos is more than a paradise of whitewashed beauty—it is an island of myth. Named after the hero Mykonos, son of King Anios, it is said to be where Hercules buried the giants he defeated, their forms turning to stone across the landscape.
Perched above a private beach in serene Kalafatis, Cali Mykonos blends Cycladic tradition with contemporary refinement. Far from the island's bustling party scene, it offers an exclusive retreat where sky, sea, and sophistication merge seamlessly. Here, every moment invites you to immerse yourself in tranquility and write your own tale of Aegean bliss.

Step into the ultimate summer cool at Cali Mykonos, where your room becomes an effortless blend of indoor-outdoor living. Each of the 40 suites and villas exudes a laid-back yet luxurious vibe, designed perfectly for lazy summer days (though equally enjoyable during the quiet, mild winter). Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, while spacious terraces and private seawater pools invite you to unwind in style. The open-plan design, with clean lines and soothing white tones, creates a serene backdrop to the stunning Aegean views that stretch out before you.
Every suite and villa is thoughtfully crafted to merge the indoors with the outdoors, ensuring that you never miss a moment of the natural beauty surrounding you. From the plush king-sized bed to the cool stone floors beneath your feet, everything has been designed to reflect the effortless chic that defines Mykonos living.
Start your mornings with an abundant selection of locally inspired sweet and savory favorites. From feta-topped omelets to freshly baked pies and homemade jams, every bite captures the essence of Mykonos.
The all-day dining menu serves laid-back comfort food, including light mezze, sushi, and Mediterranean-inspired desserts, made with farm-to-table ingredients. Poolside or on the private beach, it perfectly complements your serene surroundings.
For a more elevated experience, the on-site fine-dining restaurant brings together traditional Greek cuisine and modern innovation. The kitchen's philosophy embraces sustainability and local sourcing, resulting in dishes that not only tantalize the palate but also honor the environment. Following zero-waste principles, each plate is a masterpiece of flavor and conscious cuisine, inviting guests to savor Mykonos' essence. Vegans are also treated to a dedicated menu, ensuring every guest enjoys a sustainable, creative culinary journey.
Cali Mykonos elevates wellness to new lengths with its 130-meter infinity pool, the longest in Mykonos, designed to mimic the natural curvature of the landscape. Sweeping the cliff edge, the crystalline waters blend with the sea, creating a serene oasis where you can float above the horizon. The pool’s marble structure, sourced from local quarries, overlooks the hotel’s private beach and the sparkling waters of Kalafatis below, offering a setting that’s as impressive as it is peaceful.
For those seeking more active pursuits, the wellness and fitness area features the latest equipment, while private yoga sessions by the sea allow you to rejuvenate both body and mind. The spa offers a range of treatments that focus on relaxation and renewal, a perfect addition to a secluded escape.
In an effort towards becoming self-sustaining, the property uses four natural water sources and an on-site purification plant for clean water. The hotel has its own electrical substation and generator to ensure consistent power. Solar panels on the reception building charge the electric buggies, and local stone and marble—repurposed from the initial excavation—are used throughout the architecture, making the resort both beautiful and sustainable.
Greek-American owner Kyriakos Mourkakos and his family have infused their personal touch and sustainability into every detail, ensuring that Cali Mykonos honors its roots while protecting the island’s natural beauty. Even Mykonos’ most famous local resident, Petros the Pelican, embodies this deep connection to nature. Much like the hotel’s eco-conscious philosophy, Petros and his fellow pelicans serve as a reminder that Mykonos’ beauty thrives when nurtured and respected.
