The Holidays for Couples office is buzzing with talk of Greek getaways as everyone admits they’re officially over watching their friends’ Euro-summer holidays flood their feeds. We’re all tired of scrolling through snapshots of Santorini sunsets and endless beach days in Mykonos, so we’ve decided 2025 will be our year for a sun-drenched winter escape; so why don’t you join the party and start planning your Mykonos escape in style!
Thanks to an exclusive offer from the Myconian Collection, a privilege reserved for a select few, you can save 20% on stays at any of their 14 luxe properties. Bookings open on December 1, 2024, for travel between May and October 2025, which means your golden ticket awaits, whether you’re aiming for the spirited heat of summer or the more tranquil charm of the shoulder season.
A mainstay in Greece’s tourism landscape, the Myconian Collection is a family-owned legacy dating back to 1979, when George and Elefteria Daktylides opened their first hotel. Today, this world-class portfolio includes some of Mykonos’s finest beachfront escapes and design-led luxury stays. With reciprocal privileges across all hotels, guests can explore a network of unique bars, pools, gourmet dining, and rejuvenating spas.
Elia Beach offers a paradisiacal getaway for those who envision a holiday defined by the gentle ebb and flow of waves. The Myconian Villa Collection is perched above the bay, providing exclusive two-bedroom villas to a six-bedroom estate—perfect for family reunions or celebrations with friends. Also nestled above Elia Beach is Panoptis Escape, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Ideal for large group gatherings or even weddings, Panoptis Villa offers 21 bedrooms, 12 private pools, and nearly 2000 square metres of living space. The variety of experiences here will leave you excited and intrigued.
For couples envisioning a romantic escape, the Myconian Ambassador Hotel, perched above Platis Gialos, Mykonos’s most cosmopolitan beach, is a dream come true. The Ambassador’s Passion Suite, with its private jacuzzi terrace and breathtaking sea views, is a haven for hopeless romantics. Alternatively, the serene poolside of Myconian Utopia, a Relais & Chateaux gem on a cliff above Elias Beach, offers a more secluded setting for couples. Both options are equally divine, offering a perfect romantic getaway.
For something even closer to the Aegean’s edge, O by Myconian Collection on Ornos Beach is a haven for relaxation. Wellness devotees will love the full-moon yoga sessions offered right on the sand. With its absolute beachfront setting, guests can dip into the beach’s blissful waters and Ornos’s vibrant dining scene, with popular seaside bars and restaurants only minutes away.
In Mykonos Town, Myconian Naia, part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts LVX Collection, offers an intimate setting where Greek luxury meets contemporary flair, while the newest gem, Myconian Deos, seamlessly marries rustic stone with sleek minimalist interiors. Myconian Korali, perched on a hill overlooking Mykonos’s famous windmills, puts you close to all the action in Little Venice. Myconian Kyma, with its chic aesthetic and stunning views, is a favourite of the jet-set crowd.
Whether you’re drawn to the soft sands of Elia Beach, the fashionable pulse of Mykonos Town, or the romantic seclusion of Ornos, the Myconian Collection has a luxurious escape tailored to your preferences. Seize the early bird offer and take the first step toward your 2025 Greek adventure—because the Euro summer is yours next year.
