Avaton
Dramatic Cycladic architecture meets contemporary luxury design. Bold red accents against stark white, geometric lines carved into hillside rock, and an infinity pool that feels suspended between sky and sea. Cosmopolitan but calmer than the party-beach scene.
Return shuttle from Mykonos Town back to the hotel is complimentary; only the outbound transfer carries a nominal charge.
Why It Matters
Part of the homegrown, family-owned Myconian Collection (founded by George Daktylides, now run by his sons), Avaton is the crown property of the Elia Beach cluster. It has one of Mykonos's most photographed infinity pools, a full thalassotherapy spa using Augustinus Bader and Elemis products, and a fine dining restaurant where the executive chef visits suppliers at dawn. Rooms start at just 27 sqm but villas run to 200 sqm with private terraces and pools large enough to actually swim in.
Built into the bare rock high above Elia Beach — the longest fine sand beach on Mykonos — Myconian Avaton is the highest of three Myconian Collection properties clustered on this hillside, which explains the panoramic views and the sense of seclusion. The name references the sacred sanctuaries of the ancient world, accessible only to the initiated, and the hotel leans into that idea hard: 85 suites, villas, and rooms draped in Cycladic white and punches of signature red, nearly all with private pools or hot tubs, staring down at the Aegean. Mykonos Town is 11km away and reachable by a shuttle that runs regularly — close enough to dip into, far enough to feel genuinely removed from the circus.
