Kenza Aleomandra Mykonos, Egeo Meridional 84600 Grecia

On the island of Mykonos, a slow-living sanctuary of unparalleled magnificence and effortless serenity has opened its doors.

Located in the exclusive and tranquil pocket of Aleomandra, this lavish seven-bedroom property occupies a privileged position shared by no other accommodation on the island. Expect a captivating sensorial journey to commence upon arrival: a sound bath of the Aegean lapping onto the pristine shores, accompanied by soothing gusts of salty air. Suspended above a semi-private sandy beach, the dreamy hillside haven has been exquisitely renovated with a spectacular array of prestigious amenities and thoughtful touches to inspire an unforgettable barefoot-luxury stay for up to 14 guests.

As the day fades, the west-facing vistas present a nightly sunset spectacle that illuminates the sacred islands of Delos and Rhenia with swirls of red, pink and orange hues.

While the property’s meticulous redesign is anchored by classic characteristics of traditional Cycladic architecture, eye-catching contemporary design accents and tech-enabled comforts appear throughout, from the breezy common areas to the intimate bedrooms and everywhere in between. Ample opportunities for relaxation abound: seek out rejuvenation at the dedicated wellness area, which is equipped with a sumptuous hammam, massage room, and gym, or descend further down the cascading retreat to the expansive heated pool that overlooks the blue of the Mediterranean. Alternatively, settle into the cinema room, where movies and television shows can be projected directly onto the whitewashed walls.

With four bespoke-designed kitchens on the premises, including two located al fresco, gourmands can cater their own gastronomic experience, or tap a team of culinary professionals to take advantage of the restaurant-quality chef’s kitchen. With an abundance of outdoor terraces and gardens that follow the contours of the landscape, afternoons can be spent basking in the summertime splendour and soaking up the sun’s rays.

Breathe in, breathe out. All there is to do now is relax, unwind, and take in every magical moment spent at this Cycladic gem.
