On the lesser-trod side of Mykonos, in the Cycladic village of Agios Stefanos, Amyth of Mykonos is a 17-key, adults-only boutique hotel that sits away from the south coast’s party scene. While the isle’s hedonic beach clubs are only a 20-minute drive away (should dancing feet start to itch), Amyth’s location offers visitors a more authentic glimpse at Mykonian life, plotted in a primarily residential area. Designed in collaboration with GNB Architects, the all-suite, boho-vibes hotel blends earthy tones, wooden furniture, and hand-woven fixtures to create a rustic retreat (with all the usual mod cons). Pleasantly simple in design, with a modern Mykonian feel, space is used effectively in the bedrooms with cosy seating and work areas, plus bathrooms presented in various formats (all offer shower facilities and are stocked with Acqua di Parma toiletries). The 17 one-bedroom suites follow a similar style; sea view suites come with a private pool or hot tub, while garden rooms boast private terraces.
David Goodridge is group executive chef across Thanos Hotels and has also lent his expertise to the menus at Amyth. The hotel’s main restaurant, Amyth Kouzina, offers an all-day Greek and Mediterranean menu. Plating up contemporary Mykonos fare and using local products where possible, there’s a ‘healthful’ focus on a solid portion of the menu, with popular plates including fresh, locally sourced seafood and zesty salads. Guests can choose to dine anywhere, though lunch bites are perhaps best enjoyed by the outdoor pool, where Amyth Bar is also located. Open from sun-up to sun-down; the pool-adjacent bar offers both table and lounger service.
