Belvedere Hotel Mykonos - The Leading Hotels of the World

Belvedere Mykonos, Mykonos, Greece - Explore & Book

"Mykonos was the first Greek island to be ‘discovered’ in the 1950s, and its main town rapidly gained a reputation as the Cyclades’ most picturesque harbour. With its perfectly curved bay, its tangle of white-washed alleys and those much-photographed windmills, it became a must-see for any island-hopper. Today, trendy clubs and fashion boutiques attract a more colourful, pan-European crowd of the young and beautiful, including a vibrant gay scene.Near the top of town - and of its accommodation range - the Belvedere positively oozes style and glamour. With a sushi restaurant courtesy of Nobu (where Japanese cuisine meets the Aegean Sea), a 5,000-bottle wine cellar, an in-house DJ playing poolside, and bar drinks mixed by the man who founded the American Cocktail Museum, its credentials are as impeccable as the guests' tans. The town centre is near enough to stagger back from a night on the dancefloor, yet far enough to sleep in relative peace when you get in. And when you wake, there's that picture-postcard view (and a bumper breakfast buffet till noon). So, if you feel like a sybaritic salad of sunshine, shopping and sashimi, place your order here!
