Rocabella Mykonos

Style

Scantily Cycladic

Setting

Above Agios Stefanos

Rocabella Mykonos is the stuff of Grecian getaway dreams; natural interiors, coastal cuisine and glittering Aegean views. Inside, debonair domes impress with earthy hues, gently curved concrete walls and hand-woven fixtures while outside, scenes are equally wow-worthy. Once you’re ready to break from poolside snoozing, local dishes (expect feta-filled favourites) await at sea-facing restaurant Reeza and in-house masseurs are prepped for an afternoon of Hippocrates-hailed body rubs.

Our Favourite Rooms

For a cosy seaside getaway, snag a Superior Sea View room; the large stone headboards act as room dividers in these airy open-plan spaces. Swing open the doors of your private terrace for lots of light and sea views from bed. Or, splash out on the Rocabella Suite for sweeping panoramic views, a private plunge pool and pillow-y loungers.

Poolside

The outdoor pool, like much of the hotel, is framed in local white stone and sprouting sisals. Snag one of the white-canopied poolside day beds to lounge on between dips – après-swim tipple, optional. It's particularly romantic at night, when lit up by the bevy of poolside lanterns. There's also a family-friendly pool for those with little Smiths.

Spa

The hotel’s wellness centre offers a treatment menu which includes deep tissue and speciality massages, facials and aromatherapy, all with locally-sourced, natural products. There is a couples massage option for a de-knotting-à-deux, or a gym if you’d prefer to sweat the toxins out.

Packing Tips

Flowing white and blue attire to match the scenery, and the next book on your ‘to-read’ list to devour on the terrace.

Also

Score extra romance points by steering your date to the hotel’s telescope for a little after-dinner stargazing.

Children

Welcome. The Two Bedroom Suite has enough space for families to spread out. Big-ticket baby swag (cots, cribs and highchairs) can be provided on request, as can children’s books, colouring-in materials and bicycles (with helmets). Give three days’ notice

Hotel Restaurant

Served poolside, the breakfast changes daily and often includes Greek twists on classic egg dishes, pancakes, fresh fruit and juices. The hotel restaurant Reeza (which fittingly translates to ‘root’) serves up modern Greek cuisine featuring locally sourced ingredients, organic produce, and freshly caught fish. Order a bottle of Cycladic wine and enjoy leisurely dinners en plein air. Snacks and drinks can be ordered to your sunlounger throughout the day.

Hotel Bar

The poolside bar has a cocktail menu created by the hotel’s award-winning bartender. Try a refreshing Watermelon Margarita or cucumber-and-apple-infused Green Mojito while lounging poolside, or take a pre-dinner Bubble Trouble with pineapple and prosecco. Reeza’s bar menu has light bites, including freshly-fried calamari, chunky chips and pitta accompanied by an array of Greek dips. There’s also a small bar in the lobby where you can stop by throughout the day for a gin fizz or Aperol spritz.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served poolside from 8am to 11am. The restaurant serves dinner from 7pm until 10.45pm, but the poolside bar is open until midnight.

Room Service

Order between 8am to 11am and enjoy a meal on the privacy of your terrace.

Planes

Mykonos Airport is 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel. The hotel can arrange private transfers from the airport (€50 for two people, each way).

Automobiles

The hotel has onsite parking for guests, so if you’re driving, follow the signs first to the new port, then to Agios Stefanos Beach and on to Rocabella Mykonos. Taxis usually aren’t available outside winter, so organise yours transfers or car-hire delivery at the airport or ferry port.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Agios Stefanos beach is a short stroll downhill from the hotel, so you won’t need to venture far to find a sun-soaked spot on this chilled-out curve of coastline – ensure yours by reserving daybeds at Scorpios Mykonos Beach Club. Psarou Beach is set slightly away from town (about three kilometres), and has bottle-clear waters and very Instagrammableloungers with shades.

Head south to Chora, Mykonos’ main town (a five-minute drive from the hotel) to check out its 16th-century windmills and milk-white adobe churches, or ask Rocabella Mykonos to customise a sailing excursion for you and your first mate; they will personalise it right down to the on-board music, and when you return to port a bountiful barbecue will be waiting for you.
