– One destination – four locations – eleven properties –
Boasting 11 very special properties at four of the most sought-after locations on Mykonos, the five-star Myconian Collection is a leading Greek hospitality group built and managed by a local family whose insider knowledge, strong bonds with the local community, and decades of experience in hospitality bring a personal touch to the art of luxury hospitality.
The story of the Myconian Collection starts back in the late 1970s, when George Daktylides, a visionary born and raised on the island, opened the Kohili Hotel. Since then, much has changed for the island and the Myconian Collection alike. Mykonos has blossomed into a bucket-list destination for global travellers, and George’s four sons have taken over the reins of the 11 properties, although ever-active George still can’t resist being personally involved.
The luxury portfolio of boutique resorts has received numerous awards and earned prestigious club status into both Relais & Châteaux and Preferred Hotels & Resorts, not to mention being favoured by both celebrities and guests who return time and again…
Providing more than just mere accommodation, each hotel in the Myconian Collection has a unique offering, with different views, flavours, moods, and experiences. Each has its own personality, with a collective ethos that combines warm and genuine service with a constant push for perfection. Here are 11 reasons why Myconian Collection should be on your travel wish-list in 2023:
