A bright new star in the constellation of luxury hotels in the Myconian Collection, Korali Relais & Châteaux enjoys the best of both worlds. Situated in the hills above the historic harbour, it is a coveted retreat just minutes from the cafés of Little Venice, boutiques, tavernas and the famously enticing nightlife of Mykonos Town. The elegance of simple lines, embodied in both the architectural structure and the details, is given added impact by the vibrant touches of the signature yellow and touches of red and orange that will set guests’ first three chakras buzzing. Its contemporary spaces come alive with the best of international design that imparts a unique ambience of sophistication that complements the gracious hospitality, fine dining and exceptional views that celebrate the spirit of excellence and craftsmanship that define a Relais & Châteaux retreat.

The luxurious rooms and suites are intimate spheres of endless comfort, opening onto shaded balconies with huge plunge pools or Jacuzzis – the perfect counterpoint to the buzz and cinematic glitz of the sun-drenched pool deck under sail, where days lazily fade into sunset extravaganzas and starry nights at the Kitrino Bar. Korali’s most distinctive feature, however, is perhaps Baos, its peerless fine-dining restaurant, which floats gently above the iconic panorama. As the guest’s gaze stretches as far as the eye can see, along the white profile of Mykonos Town, beyond Tinos, to the very edge of the deep blue sea, the ozone-rich, sublime views will whet the appetite: haute cuisine takes on a double meaning. The only imperative here is indulgence.
