Mykonian 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 our serene spa, and you can rely on the expert advice of our Guest Relations to make almost anything possible. Kyma is Greek for ‘wave’, and equally the last word in sophisticated, family-friendly hospitality on Mykonos.

LOCATION
Kyma enjoys an exceptional position, a short stroll away from the stone steps of the historical harbour below the windmills, leading down to Little Venice and the most picturesque part of Mykonos town. The views of its gleaming white profile outlined against the deep blue of the Aegean are indelible iconic images.

This proximity to the town’s bustling maze of narrow alleys, booming with hip bars and acclaimed restaurants, makes Kyma a choice destination for guests who seek the sophisticated Myconian nightlife paired with the elegance of a top Design Hotel.

Local crafts and high-end boutiques, including Chanel, Burberry, and Louis Vuitton, are part of the eclectic mix. As are the Aegean Maritime Museum and the Folklore Museum, perfect for those seeking a nostalgic overview of the rich seafaring and cultural history of Mykonos.

To experience the island’s legendary club life, take a short trip by boat to Cavo Paradiso (2 km away) or Super Paradiso, 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.

ROOMS & SUITES
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.

MEDITERRANEAN SUITE
Harmonious in every way, this exceptionally spacious two-room suite combines superb amenities, with the elegance of all-white interiors suffused with light flooding in through broad glass sliders from the private terrace with a private infinity pool, overlooking the endless blues of the Aegean sea.

Every comfort is considered, with king-size or twin beds dressed in fine cotton sheets, a pillow menu at your disposal, high-speed complimentary WiFi, soundless air-conditioning, and of course, housekeeping that is discreet and attentive. A candlelit dinner for two under the stars at your very own terrace is just a glimpse away.

OCEAN SUITE
Magnificent, delightful and fresh, this indulgent retreat with perfect views of Mykonos town and the Aegean is appointed with an eye for true romance: full of crisp white detail, designer furniture and lighting, the finest fabrics and a spectacular freestanding bath for honeymooners and hedonists.

SUNRISE
Step into the contemporary elegance of this deluxe double premium room which is designed with an open flow, leading onto a private balcony or terrace with views of the sea, the main pool and the surrounding hillsides.

Sophistication and comfort are invested in every detail: marble floors and floating shelves, walls and crisp linens all play to the power of pure white. Coming from the vibrant atmosphere of the outdoors, it is an oasis of quiet intimacy and luxury that accommodates two guests.

SUNSET SUITE
One word that captures a thousand perfect moments on the charming veranda of this exceptional luxury suite. Over two levels, a sophisticated blend of custom-made Myconian elements, contemporary furniture and carefully designed lighting is barely steps away from a charming veranda and that everlasting view.

ARTEMIS
The soothing white and simple lines of this 26m2 room create a unique atmosphere, enhanced by the harmonious combination of eclectic furniture and design objects. From the private balcony, you will enjoy views of Mykonos town and the Aegean.

DINING
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 our 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.

BREAKFAST AREA
The best way to start the day is by taking in the sea views along with the plenitude of the morning buffet laden with a variety of utterly delicious breakfast favourites: organic eggs prepared however you like them; freshly-baked breads and patisserie still warm from our oven; the finest homemade preserves and wild honey; cereals that include gluten-free options; fruit, fresh juices and smoothies; as well as a select assortment of international delicacies.

NOA GREEK RESTAURANT
NOA combines culinary heritage and contemporary innovation to create haute cuisine, with rich Mediterranean flavours and appetising aromas that come into their own with the finest farm-to-table ingredients, grown, reared or fished exclusively for Kyma and meticulously selected by our executive chef.

Expect an exciting journey of Mediterranean gastronomy with traditional Greek mezethes like fried squid calamari, fava beans with octopus, lentil salad, moussaka, pasticcio or dolmades – all tasting as if they came out of our grandmother’s kitchen, but with an haute cuisine attitude.

Your experience of the subtle flavours is completed by an elegant ambience and setting of great natural splendour, with full-height bay windows taking in striking views of the Aegean and Mykonos town.

GEORGE’S BAR
If you like a lively vibe with an elegant flair, George’s is the place to be. Notoriously hip yet surprisingly unpretentious, it has attracted loyal patrons from dusk till dawn since the ‘80s.

Just because the barman serves the best coffees — from the traditional Greek brew, through latte and macchiato to refreshing freddo — doesn’t mean he’s not an old hand at mixing the best cocktails you’ve ever had.

You haven’t tasted a real mojito until you’ve had it here. Even the juices and light refreshments seem cooler here, and shareable platters from the menu are simply irresistible.

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 room or suite.

EXPERIENCES
Mykonos has long been one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean. At Kyma, your internal clock is reset to the incomparable Myconian rhythm. Here, you awaken at your leisure, to a lavish Champagne breakfast and stunning views.

Next, it’s on to the hotel’s Satory Thalasso spa with its five pools offering different therapeutic benefits, as well as treatments that revitalise body and soul. Then, you may simply want to laze and lounge by our pool on a shaded sunbed.

Or, with the hotel’s personalised assistance, enjoy a day of exploring Mykonos town on your doorstep and the hidden charms of the island. Whether it’s horseback riding, yachting, beach-hopping, culture or clubbing, you’ll find it all, before returning to savour fine dining at NOA Greek Restaurant.

Yet that is not all. You may want to visit the two neighbouring luxury hotels from our family portfolio which share our unique history. Ask any of our staff to give you a tour of the Myconian Naia Luxury Suites and the Myconian Korali Relais & Châteaux.

Combining our facilities and expertise, we have become world-renowned for hosting some of the most spectacular weddings and exclusive retreats here. As a guest of the Myconian Kyma Design Hotel, you quite literally have the world of the Myconian Collection at your feet.

SPA & FITNESS
Relax and recharge after soaking in the restorative benefits of the Aegean, allowing our expert therapists to take your sense of well-being to the next level in our serene Satory spa. Or refine your form in our state-of-the-art fitness room.

Kyma is Greek for wave, but the treatments that await you at Satory are a veritable tide of indulgence. Owing to Kyma’s idyllic location and the sense of well-living that pervades all of Mykonos, it’s easy to feel refreshed just by walking into the lobby of the Spa.

The superb facility includes five heated thalassotherapy pools, that draw on the cleansing and curative properties of seawater praised since Greek antiquity, and are complemented by essential oils and hydro-massage. Give yourself over to treatments that shrug off the last remnants of fatigue carried over from your daily life.

Enjoy a traditional massage to detox and boost your circulation, or experience the very latest treatments, tailored to your needs by expert therapists using products on the cutting edge of beauty treatments. Explore our Spa Menu for treatments that are supported by two exclusive product ranges at the forefront of spa care:

• Elemis treatments, renowned for their exceptional dynamically active, anti-ageing ingredients and effective massage sequences.
• Ligne St Barth, the Caribbean line that is praised by beauty professionals worldwide for its originality and the exceptional quality of its entirely natural floral blends.
• Augustinus Bader. Beloved by skincare specialists, journalists and beauty authorities worldwide, Augustinus Bader has become the gold standard in smarter skincare.

GYM
Our gym room, open from 9am to 9pm, is equipped with the latest in training and exercise systems which will allow for a good workout.

THE POOL DECK
The Kyma pool deck is a dream come true, a terrace at the crest of the hill, with 360-degree views of the island, Mykonos town and the Aegean. The infinity pool is a sparkling aquamarine gem set over two separate levels, surrounded by shaded sun loungers with navy-blue highlights.

Intimate corners are sheltered from the gentle breeze and the sense of cool sophistication spills over to the outdoor lounge and poolside bar. Attentive at all hours of the day, George’s Bar serves the coolest refreshments and light lunches by day, as well as fine aperitifs and pre-dinner nibbles.

WEDDINGS & EVENTS
At Kyma we would be delighted to cater to small groups or newlyweds who would like to celebrate intimate occasions in luxury. We are able to host the most idyllic ceremonies in the quaint chapel on the pool deck for up to 100 guests.

However, for grand wedding banquets, we rely on the extensive experience, state-of-the art facilities, transport fleet and catering prowess of the Royal Myconian and our sister hotels in Elia to complement our uniquely intimate environment.
