About the Resort
A glamorous beachfront Mykonos resort
Santa Marina is the glamorous beachfront Mykonos resort at Ornos Bay — a Luxury Collection address on a private peninsula with the only private sandy beach on Mykonos and the world's first Buddha-Bar Beach, where DJs and the cosmopolitan scene gather. Twin infinity pools spill over Ornos Bay, around 115 whitewashed rooms, suites and two- to seven-bedroom villas run beach-chic with plunge pools and Aegean balconies in the higher categories, and a private marina launches yachts and speedboats to the sacred island of Delos and to Rhenia. Mykonos Town with its boutiques, its windmills and its nightlife is ten to fifteen minutes away, the Ginkgo Spa keeps the calm with aromatherapy, sauna and hot tubs, and weddings find a stage here. The setting is the heart of cosmopolitan Mykonos: Psarrou and Platys Gialos beaches lie close, Little Venice and the Chora are a short hop, and the whole Cyclades open up from the marina. It is the beach-and-scene side of Greece — distinct from the cliffside sunset calm of Santorini. Seasonal, summer-peak, with the scene at its height in July and August.
Accommodation
Rooms, suites & villas
Around 115 rooms, suites and two- to seven-bedroom villas wear whitewashed Mykonian-village architecture with beach-chic interiors, the higher categories adding private plunge pools and Aegean balconies. Spread across a private peninsula above Ornos Bay, they range from a couple's suite to a seven-bedroom villa for a group taking over a stretch of the hill. Whitewashed walls, timber and stone keep it Mykonian, the Aegean filling the balconies above Ornos Bay.

Food & Drink
Dining
Dining leans into the scene: Buddha-Bar Beach, the world's first, is a beach club with DJs, Elais plates Greek and Mediterranean cooking, and the Oasis Pool and Lounge handles poolside days. It is as much a Mykonos social occasion as a meal, the cosmopolitan crowd gathering from afternoon into the night. It is one of the island's defining beach-club scenes, set on the only private sandy beach Mykonos has.

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Canaves Oia Epitome
Canaves Oia Epitome is the family-friendly cliffside Santorini sunset resort — on the Oia cliffs above Ammoudi, with caldera-and-sunset views from every single suite and a private pool with every room. Around 53 suites and villas rise in Cycladic-contemporary design, two shared infinity pools face the sunset, and the Canaves Collection table reaches from the floating-deck Elements restaurant to the Armeni fish tavern on the water's edge at Ammoudi, reached by boat, with a sommelier's wine cellar behind it. Rare for the caldera, it is built as a family resort, with private yacht and catamaran cruises, a pottery class and the Epitome Spa. The Santorini sunset, with a pool of your own — distinct from the beach-and-scene glamour of Mykonos. Seasonal, at its best in the warmer months.

Amanzoe
Amanzoe is the hilltop modern-acropolis Aman resort — Aman's first in Greece, an Ed Tuttle composition of Doric columns and marble colonnades on a hilltop above Porto Heli, with 360-degree Aegean views and a private pool with every pavilion and villa. A flagship Aman Spa runs to nine treatment rooms, two hammams and a Watsu pool, a separate private Beach Club lies ten minutes downhill with four pools and watersports, and the resort's boats cruise to Spetses and Hydra. An outdoor amphitheatre stages moonlit yoga, the UNESCO Peloponnese — Epidaurus, Mycenae, Nafplio — lies on the doorstep, and Villa 20 (of Glass Onion fame) anchors the villas. Greece at its most private and rarefied. Seasonal, at its best in the warmer months.

The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Navarino
The Romanos is the Luxury Collection beachfront flagship at Costa Navarino — on the 1.5 km Blue-Flag Dunes Beach over the Ionian Sea, in Messinian and cubist design across 321 rooms, suites and villas, 128 of them with a private infinity pool over the sunset. The award-winning Anazoe Spa runs to around 4,000 square metres of thalassotherapy and ancient-Greek beauty rituals, four signature golf courses and the Mouratoglou Tennis Center spread across the wider estate, and a Dine Around plan opens 40-plus venues. An aqua park, kids' clubs and villas make it a natural multi-generational base, the Ionian Exclusive suites add 24-hour butlers, and 4,500 years of Messinian culture — the Palace of Nestor, Pylos — lie on the doorstep. The beach, golf and spa flagship of the Peloponnese. Seasonal, with an extended golf season.
