Why People Love It

- Two pools: a main social pool and a shallow rooftop option for sunsets
- Incredible a la carte breakfast with options like avocado toast and eggs benedict included
Quick Take: A stunningly designed black-and-white boutique hotel that nails the vibe but sits right on a road near the port, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
Reviewed by @ShawncKpris: I stayed here to escape the Mykonos crowds and it was perfect. My room was a total vibe—minimalist and chic. Lounging by that infinity pool watching the cruise ships float by was the highlight of my trip. Definitely the most aesthetic spot I've booked.
