While this has been rumored for some time, it’s now official — Four Seasons will be opening a property in Mykonos, Greece!
In this post:
Basics of the 94-key Four Seasons Mykonos
The Four Seasons Resort Mykonos is expected to open in the summer of 2025, though isn’t yet accepting reservations. The property will be located along the coastline of Kalo Livadi Bay, and will offer 94 rooms, villas, and suites, with views of the Aegean Sea. This is a new-build property, located on 60,324 square meters (649,322 square feet) of land.
The resort will be designed and developed in the Cycladic style that Mykonos is known for, with white cubic architecture, whitewashed courtyards, traditional pathways, and piazzas.
As far as restaurant and bar options go, the property will have an al fresco poolside Italian venue, a modern interpretation of a Mykonian kafeneio, and a beach restaurant. Additional resort features will include an infinity swimming pool, a spa with several treatment rooms, fitness facilities, and more.
As of now details about the property are otherwise fairly limited, though we should find out more soon, given that the resort is expected to open in less than a year (assuming there’s not a delay, which is all too common with new openings).
This will be the brand’s second property in Greece, after the Four Seasons Athens Astir Palace.
This is quite the addition to the Mykonos hotel scene
Greece is of course as hot of a tourist destination as ever, and Mykonos and Santorini get the bulk of traffic from the United States (even though Greece has so many amazing islands, and I’d say those are probably the two places to avoid nowadays… I digress).
Hotel rates in Mykonos are incredibly high, not necessarily because hotels are amazing, but rather because of the amount of demand there is for travel to the island. What makes Mykonos unique as such a high-end destination is that there are currently few luxury hotels belonging to international groups.
Santa Marina, a Marriott Luxury Collection, is probably the most luxurious property belonging to one of the major hotel groups. The other best properties, like Deos Mykonos and Kalesma Mykonos, are independent, or part of small groups.
I’m surprised it has taken this long for one of the major luxury hotel groups to reach an agreement to open a property in Mykonos. You’d think that just about every international chain would have properties popping up there. I can only imagine the kind of rates that the Four Seasons will be able to command. At least with Four Seasons you know you’ll get great service, even if the rate is high.
Bottom line
The Four Seasons brand is expanding to Mykonos, with the opening of a property in the summer of 2025. The resort will have 94 keys, and will be the first newly opened luxury property belonging to a major hotel group in quite some time.
What do you make of plans for the Four Seasons Mykonos?
This will easily be over €3,000/night.
Mykonos seems like a weird choice compared with Santorini for a Four Seasons...
Per insider info, FS Santorini is already in the pipeline
