Myconian Utopia Resort Mykonos

Set into the rock 300 metres above Elia beach, the Myconian Utopia Relais & Châteaux lives up to its name as the quintessence of sophisticated hospitality and sheer natural beauty, designed for true connoisseurs of Mykonos.

In addition to seducing with the highest standard of luxury and service excellence, the hotel combines the natural beauty of its location with modern opulence.

A ‘green conscience’ underpins the structural use of locally quarried, hand-cut stone and sustainable materials, achieving a harmonious counterpoint to the iconic design pieces and customised furnishings of ultra-glamorous interiors.

Utopia is a firm favourite with couples and honeymooners who seek a romantic getaway in a perfect setting, minutes from the longest beach on Mykonos.

The luxurious suites and villas provide every comfort and attentive service, while fabulous entertainment areas offer a variety of dining options, bars, relaxing Thalasso spa treatments and spectacular views.

From early morning and into the early evening, sun-kissed guests drift from one temptation to the next, lazing on shaded loungers by the fabulous infinity pool, enjoying light lunches and cool cocktails that segue into aperitifs against the backdrop of a fiery sunset.

Bringing a utopian day to a close, the pool comes alive after dark with sparkles that wink at the stars above, inviting to the first of the night’s many pleasures with an epicurean feast at the Pavilion Relais & Châteaux restaurant.

ACCOMMODATION 
The rooms, suites and villas at the Myconian Utopia Relais & Châteaux hotel offer a true experience in ‘art de vivre’ on Mykonos – an escape from the everyday into a perfect world of sheer beauty that combines outstanding location, service excellence and luxurious contemporary design.

Our villas include a fully-equipped kitchen and dining areas, as well as furnished terraces with a large private infinity pool, barbeque areas, and, of course, sea views at every turn.

Attentive housekeepers and world-class concierge services are on call for anything you may desire, from a candle-lit dinner on your balcony to a massage on your private deck.

Pilates and yoga instruction can be booked with a personal instructor in one of our island’s secret coves, followed by a gourmet picnic prepared by our head chef. Sweet dreams are made of this.

TASTE
While our Pavilion Relais & Châteaux restaurant sets the standard for the culinary excellence on Mykonos, the passion of head chef Nikos Moroglou can be tasted in everything that comes out of our kitchen.

As a Myconian family, cuisine and service lie at the very heart of our hospitality, and we have cultivated close ties over two generations to local farmers and fishermen who supply us with a daily harvest of seasonal and organic produce from both land and sea.

The culinary journey begins at breakfast, with a sumptuous classic buffet laden with a variety of traditional treats, such as locally made yoghurt and wild honey, or home-baked delicacies.

Sometime in the mid-afternoon, running on Greek time, lunch is served either poolside with an emphasis on light and delicious specialities, or at our Pavilion restaurant, as a veritable feast of fresh fish, lobster or home-reared lamb infused with Mediterranean flavours.

Drifting back to the deck for a siesta, you may want to find a perch at the Pool Club bar a little later, aperitif in hand, watching the sun go down in flames over the horizon as you contemplate returning to the Pavilion, for dinner!

LATITUDES – BREAKFAST
The Relais & Chateaux experience that is enjoyed throughout the day begins with our Mediterranean breakfast while taking in sweeping views of the Aegean from the Pavillion restaurant.

The freshness of farm-to-table ingredients, including seasonal fruit, classical Greek yogurt, wild honey and farm eggs prepared à-la-carte, is complemented by home-made Myconian savoury and sweet delicacies, as well as freshly brewed coffee to sweep up the cobwebs of a night on the town.

PAVILION – RELAIS & CHATEAUX
With the famous Myconian night as its curtain call, the Pavilion restaurant delivers a star performance every evening.

A refined menu in the true gourmet tradition of Relais & Châteaux is complemented by spectacular sea views and, naturally, an exceptional wine list that includes both international vintages and a selection of rare gems from Greek wineries picked by our expert sommelier.

Executive chef Nikos Moroglou describes his food as creative, pure, and authentically Greek. We emphasise the genuine flavour of the ingredients without overdoing it. After all, the Relais & Châteaux culinary philosophy is all about placing emphasis on tradition and local provenance.

Though he personally favours fish, his current favourite on the menu are the lamb chops with smoked aubergine puree, accompanied by a baby potato salad, fresh onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, spearmint and a demi-glace sauce.

THE POOL CLUB
The Pool Club is a spectacular perch with 360-degree views of Elia Bay, a perfect meeting spot that runs an all-day bar service.

Kicking off with morning smoothies and fresh juices later followed by exotic cocktails and coffees, the Pool Club moves to aperitifs at sunset and culminates in serious bar culture after dark, complete with live music. Our friendly bartenders will creatively mix whatever you desire to match your mood.

IN-ROOM DINING
For those rare evenings when you feel like ‘staying home’ to catch up on sleep, work or TV entertainment, we offer a delicious in-room menu with something exceptional for everyone’s taste, guaranteed to arrive as hot or as chilled as the chef would have it.

Whether you wish to arrange for a private and memorable dining experience, or simply enjoy a meal that’s not on the menu, a personal chef and his team are always at your disposal, ready to demonstrate their culinary prowess and prepare your favourite dishes in the privacy of your own suite or villa.

Our in-house chef services also include daily fresh grocery delivery, a unique selection of coffees and teas, breakfast served by your personal chef in your suite or villa, tailor-made romantic dinners, special meals, fully-catered parties and events, as well as pool lunches upon request.

YOGA, PILATES, FITNESS & WELLNESS COACHING
Our world-class fitness and wellness offering includes gym rooms, equipment-supported Pilates instruction, Yoga and Wellness Coaching, all supported by highly qualified professionals available for private sessions.

The Myconian sun and Aegean Sea begin to work their magic as soon as you set foot on a pool deck or fine sand beach. Take this sense of well-being to another level with either an introduction or continuation of practices that have unquestioned benefits.

Pilates instruction is available for beginners to advanced level. In just 55-minutes, your whole body will begin to feel more ‘centred’ and re-aligned. Each class is based on the original six Pilates principles: concentration, control, centre, flow, precision and breathing.

This method helps improve flexibility and endurance in the entire body; with a special focus on posture, breathing, core strength, coordination and balance. Yoga classes that are either held in-studio, as Secret Sunrise or Full Moon events, or paired with Sunset Meditation.

If you are already a seasoned Yoga practitioner, you will know all about the restorative power of yoga that places body and mind in perfect equilibrium. Water yoga is most effective for injuries and delicate joints. We offer group sessions either indoors or outdoors.

Allow your stay on Mykonos to become a transformative experience by attending our unique wellness seminars or taking a personal coaching session. Our Wellness coach is a certified Holistic Life & Wellness Coach, HeartMath Mentor, beauty & anti-aging consultant, trainer and speaker.

Eleni Malakou is a physical therapist specialized in PNF, Mulligan and Bobath, a Yoga instructor as well as an instructor in anatomy and kinesiology.

Imagine a 90-minute morning yoga class held in the breathtakingly beautiful setting of Scorpios, situated a 10-minute walk from the Ambassador Hotel along a scenic coastal path. And in the evening, a 1-hour relaxing class focusing on alignment, pranayama, restoration and yoga Nidra…

And don’t worry about having the right sports outfit: although our boutique stocks yoga-wear, all that is really required are comfortable loose clothing, bare feet and an open mind.

POOL & BEACH
From early morning into the morning hours, this is a scenic lookout where heaven and earth truly seem to meet on the rim of the infinity pool. Guests spend the day here basking in the sun, or sipping ice-cold cocktails in the shade of their parasol.

OUR PRIVATE SPOT ON ELIA BEACH
Should you wish to curl your toes into fine sand or be buoyed up by crystal clear saltwater, then head down to your private sunbed on the most beautiful part of Elia reserved exclusively for guests of the Myconian Collection.

With parasols standing to attention, a running supply of fresh beach towels, and a bar for beverages, smoothies and light snacks, the island’s longest beach is pure paradise.

Elia is an idyllic destination in its own right, and occasional host to some of the island’s biggest celebrations, with a choice of superb restaurants as well as a variety of watersports.

LOCATION
Mykonos is one of the world’s legendary cosmopolitan destinations, offering service excellence, magnificent natural beauty and a lifestyle culture that attract all manner of guests from around the globe, from couples seeking a romantic bolthole to dedicated clubbers, celebrities and of course those who return year after year simply out of an enduring love affair with our island.

The Utopia Relais & Châteaux is poised high above Elia beach, one of the island’s longest beaches situated on the south coastline a mere 10 km from Mykonos town and about 13 km from the glamorous Psarou.

Renowned for its aquamarine waters, stretches of fine sand and leisure activities, Elia is a destination in its own right, a place where ancient myths and modern legends come alive under the Aegean sun and starry nights.

To experience the island’s legendary club life, take a short journey off the coastal route or by boat to Cavo Paradiso (2 km away) or Super Paradise, slightly further afield. The party migrates from sun-drenched beach bars to open-air nightclubs pumping with all-night energy.

Ferries to the famous ruins of Delos, one of the most important mythological and archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, depart from the town harbour. Alternatively, you may choose to explore the neighbouring desert island of Rhenia or the hidden coves of Mykonos by private launch.

Please note that for all bookings made directly on the hotel’s official website, we offer complimentary transfers to and from the Mykonos seaport or airport in air-conditioned mini-buses.
