A chic and tranquil hillside resort above Elia Beach, with stunning views over the Aegean Sea.

 

Overlooking beautiful Elia beach, the surrounding hills and the sparkling waters of the Aegean, the family-owned Myconian Imperial occupies the perfect spot for capturing this cosmopolitan island at its best. Mykonos Town is only 15 minutes away, so you can enjoy a day of exploration before returning here for some time out. Spend long days on one of the private beach area's comfortable sun beds or around one of the three outdoor pools – which are beautifully lit by night. Or go a step further and indulge with one of the treatments at the thalasso centre, which range from soothing massages to improving body tissue elasticity.

 

No evening should begin until sunset has been viewed from the Eros Vernanda Bar over an apéritif or cocktail. Then you'll just need to decide which of the resort's two restaurants you fancy for dinner. Celebrities à la carte restaurant is the ideal eatery for gourmet foodies, serving Mediterranean dishes created from locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Or head to the Sishu Bar Japanese restaurant, where the chef serves up creative sushi combinations and unique signature dishes. Wine aficionados will be delighted to hear that the hotel regularly organises wine tasting evenings, where production methods and grape harvesting is explained as you sample local wines.

 

Rooms are scattered around the hillside in charming low-rise stone and whitewash buildings. Many have a Jacuzzi or private pool on the balcony. For more space, choose a Superior Seaview Room, with the option to upgrade to enjoy your own Jacuzzi or private pool.
