Located just a few steps away from its own private spot on the sandy Psarou Beach in Mykonos, The Mykonos Blu by Grecotel is a resort that provides breathtaking views of the sparkling sea, along with the most welcoming atmosphere and luxurious tranquilly.

// Dining
As someone who always tries to eat a mostly organic diet, I was incredibly impressed with the resort’s commitment to using organic ingredients. Throughout the resort, two restaurants offering many dining options featuring produce carefully selected from Grecotel's organic Agreco Farm.
The breakfast buffet: guests can enjoy one of the most opulent breakfast buffets I have seen at a hotel, accompanied by a live saxaphone performance, which made for the most relaxing vibe. During busy times, there's a late breakfast option that stretches into the afternoon. This is especially great for those who have had a fun-filled night partying in Mykonos.
// Things to do
There are so many activities you can do on the island, from helicopter rides to quad biking. Depending on your interests, there is really something for everyone.
We opted to do a yacht excursion that was conveniently accessible directly from the hotel's private beach. It truly provided us with the ultimate opportunity to admire the island from a unique vantage point and make the most of the beautiful coastal location.
// The Bungalows
All the charming bungalows at the establishment feature a calming design theme characterized by soothing neutral tones and soft white furnishings.
