Semeli

Naming a hotel after the Greek goddess Semeli – mother of the god of wine and good times, and lover of Zeus – is setting the stakes pretty high. But this chic five-star hotel more than rises to the challenge, creating a heavenly luxury retreat in the centre of Mykonos Town.

With its whitewashed walls and flat roofs, the hotel’s design echoes the local style while elevating it to the highest level. The swimming pools, verandas and cobbled pathways are dotted with water features and surrounded by lush plants and pink bougainvillea, while the rooms are the last word in contemporary elegance.
