Also
For American-Greek owner Kyriakos, honouring his heritage is a key part to this family-run venture, and he does so in beautifully understated ways; the hotel is named after his mother, Cali, and guests are greeted by a 750-year-old olive tree transported from the region of southern Greece where his father is from.
Hotel closed
The hotel is open annually from April to October.
At the hotel
Private beach, pool, free town shuttle, golf buggies, gym, spa, (coming summer 2023), boutique, free WiFi throughout. In rooms: Beach bags, hats, slippers, Naxos Apothecary bath products, TV, sound system, yoga mat, bathrobes and slippers.
Our favourite rooms
‘Room’ is one way to put it, but here they’re more like petite houses, each occupying their own white-washed building. In each you’ll find a hearty helping of marble (bathrooms, floors, headboards) CocoMat sleep systems and pieces by all-Greek artists and craftsmen. Honeymooners will love the Cali Suite’s double shower, but for optimum space, the split-level Villa Calliope (with its two pools and terraces, chef’s kitchen and four king-size bedrooms) makes for unforgettable Cycladic memory-making.
Poolside
The snaking 130-metre infinity pool is an aquatic tour-de-force, sweeping the cliff edge as it mimics the curvature of a neighbouring stream. In keeping with Cali Mykonos' penchant for marble, the crystalline structure overlooks the hotel’s private port and – equally crystalline – waters of Kalafatis Beach below. Swimming lessons and flotation devices can be provided for kids, otherwise, cocktails à la lounger call.
Spa
A full service spa will be open in summer 2023. Until then, muscles can be sustained and sculpted at the white-washed fitness centre which, nestled into the cliffside, doubles up as an excellent background for a post-pump selfie. You’ll find a full weights rack, cardio, motion and cable machines as well as a pilates and yoga studio (kitted out with four Basi reformers, no less) and in-house trainers. But, if you ask nicely, the concierge may be able to arrange a bit of in-room kneading, too.
Packing tips
Bring your best airy threads and wind-withstanding hats. If island-hopping is on the menu, a pair of non-slip boat shoes wouldn’t go amiss either.
Also
Common areas are wheelchair accessible and there are elevators and ADA bathrooms throughout the property. Guests with mobility needs should enquire about one of the hotel’s three accessible suites.
Pet‐friendly
Service dogs are welcome for an additional €150. See more pet-friendly hotels in Mykonos.
Children
Welcome. Cots are free and available on request while extra beds cost €150 a night.
Sustainability efforts
While the hotel can’t claim to be 100 per cent self-sustaining, it’s remarkably close. Cali’s four natural water sources and purification plant ensure the cleanest water in the island, while their electrical substation and generator means it’s not at the mercy of Mykonos’ power supply (thankfully so, as cuts can be frequent). Solar panels on top of the reception are used to charge golf buggies and re-purposed stones from the initial excavation have been utilised in the resort’s architecture. You’ll find super fresh food from local producers in the hotel’s bar and kitchen, and with up-coming plans for an allotment, you may be able to grow your own some day, too.
