Following a hotly anticipated opening in 2022, the now adults-only Once in Mykonos prepares to reopen its doors on 1st May for the 2023 season. Situated on the island’s beautiful southwest coastline and overlooking the iconic Ornos Beach, the trendsetting lifestyle resort embodies paired back luxury and elegance with a nod to its nostalgic past as a luxurious cosmopolitan villa.
Once home to a prominent businessman and frequented by artists, intellectuals, and people of influence, Once in Mykonos has been reimagined as a five-star island resort, under the expert eye of designer and architect Fivos Stavrides of F Studio Designers. Inspired by ancient Greek amphitheatres, the 59-room resort expertly combines impressive architecture and classic Cycladic style that is synonymous with the island with elegant, boho-chic interiors. For larger groups of friends, the resort offers three Signature Suites and two 2-bedroom villas with private pools, all boasting breath-taking views of the Aegean Sea.
Enticing couples for the 2023 season, the glamorously grown-up island resort, introduces a plethora of enriching experiences highlighting Mykonos’ rich culture and natural beauty, from private yacht charters to the island’s hidden coves and neighbouring islands, Delos and Rineia, to diving among underwater ruins that date to the Ancient Greek Empire. Back at the resort, international DJs and performers will bring an eclectic energy to the Mykonos nightlife with exclusive summer residencies and magnetic pool parties throughout the season.
Under the guidance of distinguished Louis Hotels’ Executive Chef Kyriakos Sotiriou, who has years of experience in Michelin and fine dining restaurants, guests are invited on a unique culinary journey at gourmet Infinity Restaurant. Dishes highlight the very best of Greek and Mediterranean flavours and recipes while showcasing organic, locally sourced ingredients. Against the backdrop of Grecian sunsets, the Infinity Bar serves up theatrical cocktails by a team of creative mixologists.
State-of-the-art wellness facilities offer a rejuvenating haven enhanced by personalised treatments designed to awaken the senses, relieve stress and restore the body’s natural balance. Signature treatments use organic nutrient-rich ingredients sourced from the Aegean Sea and are combined with cosmetics by Omorovicza, Natura Blisse, Carol Joy London and Leahlani, to offer a complete transformational experience. A fully equipped gym and tranquil outdoor yoga pavilion round off the wellness experience, allowing guests to exercise with uninterrupted views of the sea.
Once in Mykonos is a short 10-minute drive from the cosmopolitan Mykonos Town; a 10-minute drive from Mykonos International Airport; and a 12-minute drive from the New Port.
