Thought to be the first boutique hotel on Mykonos when it opened three decades ago, Kivotos enjoys an enviable position above Ornos Bay and its lovely sandy beach, which is just a few minutes' walk away. The lively nightlife of Mykonos town is just ten minutes by taxi, and you can also travel by water taxi or bus. The hotel is styled on a traditional Mykonian village, with low-storey whitewashed Cycladian buildings spread around two inviting swimming pools, one with a beach bar. There's an open air restaurant offering impressive cuisine, and the terrace at the breakfast restaurant enjoys lovely views of the bay and hills beyond. Guest rooms are very comfortable and some have their own pool.
You're just a few minutes' walk from one of the island's best sandy beaches - Ornos. It has good beach restaurants, watersports and scuba diving schools.
Head to Mykonos Town, the lively capital, a traditional Cycladic village with whitewashed buildings and iconic windmills.
By plane: flights from London and Manchester take under 4 hours. It's less than a 15-minute drive from the airport. Free on-site parking. skyscanner.net
Guests tend to be couples celebrating a romantic occasion or a birthday, and groups of friends. The pool and outdoor restaurant area is pretty slick.
We enjoyed having breakfast from the terrace, with lovely views of Ornos Bay.
