Myconian Ambassador Hotel Relais Chateaux

Mere steps from the fine sand of Platis Gialos, and built in sympathy with the slope, its architecture blends contemporary chic with tones and textures borrowed from the local vernacular.

Interiors that embody the clean line and cool sophistication of high design flow into the quiet comfort of luxurious bedrooms, or spill out onto the spectacular terrace that is the heart of the hotel, all without ever breaking the spell of magnificent Aegean views.

Aptly named Stay, the terrace is a world unto itself, beating to different rhythms throughout the day: after a leisurely breakfast at Latitudes, mornings drift effortlessly into perfect poolside afternoons, with light meals and drinks from George’s bar. And as shadows lean towards evening, guests return from the beach to mingle over sunset cocktails, before dining in the candle-lit glow of Efisia, one of the island’s top tables.

The tranquility of being away from the island’s party pulse is just as easily given up with a short stroll across to Psarou, with its beau monde and superyachts at anchor, or to Paranga’s authentic little tavernas frequented by the locals. Our private launch can take you to the mysterious ruins of ancient Delos or Rhenia’s hidden coves, and even the vibrant Chora with its whitewashed maze of boutiques and bars is only minutes away by car.
