Where to Stay in Mykonos: Best Areas and Hotels for Every Traveller

Mykonos is the island for nightlife, beach clubs and people watching, and it has a reputation for high prices. A smart choice of base saves money and hassle. See our Mykonos island review for the overview.

The areas in plain terms

Mykonos Town (Chora): whitewashed lanes, restaurants, bars and the harbour. The best base without a car.
Old Port side of town: close to the waterfront and sunsets, near the windmills and Little Venice.
Agia Sofia and the edges of town: a short way out, often better value.

Beach resorts on the coast are not covered in this guide.

Best for couples

Semeli Hotel Mykonos, Mykonos Town. Spa, restaurant and outdoor pool. Rated 4.7 from 749 Google reviews.
Harmony Boutique Hotel, by the old port. Seaside, with a pool, spa and restaurant. Rated 4.7 from 445 Google reviews.
Vencia Boutique Hotel. Infinity pool and sea views. Rated 4.8 from 465 Google reviews. A premium option.

Best for friends and nightlife
