Mykonos Grand break

Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort

Our rating: Deluxe

Rooms

Even entry level rooms are large at the Mykonos Grand, with guest rooms across all categories more spacious than those elsewhere on the island. The bright, tastefully decorated rooms are located across several different buildings and levels, but all feature white decor with blue accents and a hint of nautical inspiration. Details are well thought out: in addition to the amenities one would expect at a five-star property, beach bags are provided as is a little charger kit for guests who may have forgotten something at home.

Location

The Mykonos Grand is located on the southwestern part of the island at Agios Ioannis beach. The western-facing orientation means guests enjoy unobstructed views of the nearby islands of Delos and Rineia as well as vivid sunsets reflected on the sea. There are a few restaurants and some other hotels nearby, but for the most part, the location feels like a peaceful retreat from the rest of the island.

Food and drink

The main restaurant, Dolphins of Delos, serves an elaborate breakfast in the mornings complete with prosecco, and dinner in the evenings with sweeping sea views and a focus on fresh fish and seafood. The more casual Aqua e Sole restaurant is open for lunch by the pool. There is also a pool bar open throughout the day and evening, and the lobby bar which is open late.

Facilities and activities

There’s no shortage of facilities at the Mykonos Grand. The highlight is a huge saltwater swimming pool with views of the sea. The hotel also has a designated beach area, accessed by steps from the pool, with plush loungers and beach service. There’s a spa with both general facilities and treatment rooms, a large fitness room and outdoor tennis courts.
