Kālesma Mykonos

Overview

Along five olive tree-dotted acres with stunning sea views lies Kālesma – a peaceful enclave that pays homage to the natural beauty of sun-kissed Mykonos. While this Greek Cycladic Isle is known for its St. Tropez-meets-Ibiza scene on the mainland, Kālesma epitomizes tranquility with an authentic Greek hospitality where Aegean tranquility intertwines with a "Dionysian fiesta” to create the most unforgettable guest experience. There’s even a bijou chapel for those who wish to take their nuptials to the island. There are 25 one-bedroom suites as well as a three- and four-bedroom villa named Apollo and Artemis (that can in fact be combined to form the seven-bedroom Leto villa), each with interiors that celebrate the bucolic, bay-side setting. Designed by Greek architectural firm K-Studio and with interiors by Vangelis Bonios, its aesthetic mirrors Mykonos’ iconic white-washed walls and pink bougainvilleas with an infinity pool made for sun-lazing bedside. The brainchild of the seasoned hospitality gurus behind Athenian hotspots Sea Spice, Pere and Ubu, the resort is gifted with delectable dining options at its al fresco restaurant, Pere Ubu, which specializes in modern Greek cuisine. Otherwise, sail along the island’s cerulean waters to uncover its secret coves, explore the cobbled alleys of Mykonos Town, and discover landmarks such as Little Venice and the iconic ancient Windmills before returning to Kālesma’s rejuvenating wellness center.
