BELVEDERE HOTEL MYKONOS WELCOMES GUESTS FOR THE 2025 SEASON: A TIMELESS BLEND OF LUXURY, HERITAGE, AND SOUL
words by JANA LETONJA
Perched above the picturesque town of Chora with panoramic views of Mykonos and the sparkling Aegean Sea, the Belvedere Hotel Mykonos reopens its doors for the 2025 season. A cornerstone of the island’s luxury hospitality scene, the Belvedere continues to embody refined elegance and authentic Mediterranean allure.
A proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this family-owned sanctuary is more than a hotel—it’s a living tribute to the vibrant culture and enduring spirit of Mykonos. With its architecture gracefully mirroring the island’s iconic whitewashed skyline, the Belvedere is a tranquil haven that effortlessly blends sophistication with tradition.
A Storied Past with Artistic Roots
At the heart of the property lies Mansion Stoupa, a 200-year-old residence that gave rise to the Belvedere’s evolution. This historic estate has long been a magnet for creatives and aristocrats, drawing legends such as Julie Andrews, Studio 54’s Stephen Rubell, and Princess Soraya of Iran. That bohemian, free-spirited energy continues to shape the hotel’s open, communal design—encouraging spontaneity, connection, and shared moments.
Cycladic Elegance Meets Bespoke Comfort
Enveloped in blooming bougainvillea and lush greenery, the Belvedere’s main complex celebrates classic Cycladic design. Crisp white interiors and flowing architectural lines create a seamless connection to the surrounding Mykonian landscape. Guests can select from a variety of elegantly appointed rooms, suites, and private villas, all offering stunning views and an atmosphere of understated luxury.
Highlights include the 26 Hilltop Rooms and Suites—set just 250 meters from the main estate for enhanced seclusion—the cliffside Waterfront Villa with its panoramic sea views, and the quaint Villa Next Door, ideally located for gazing upon Mykonos’ iconic 16th-century windmills.
Wellbeing and Indulgence in Perfect Balance
Staying true to its legacy of thoughtful hospitality, the Belvedere presents a holistic approach to wellness and leisure. The Six Senses Spa is a serene retreat offering cutting-edge treatments led by skilled practitioners. A fully equipped gym ensures fitness needs are met, rounding out a suite of health-forward amenities.
At the heart of the hotel is the beloved Pool Club, a dynamic social space where guests from around the world gather to unwind and connect. Signature cocktails at the renowned Belvedere Bar—crafted by mixology legend Dale DeGroff—set the tone for lively evenings, while the immersive Sunken Watermelon Cocktail Bar delights with its creative concoctions and distinctive ambiance.
A Destination for Culinary Excellence
The Belvedere is home to one of Mykonos’ most coveted dining experiences: Matsuhisa Mykonos, the world’s first open-air sushi bar by celebrated chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Reopening on May 30, the restaurant invites guests to enjoy Nobu’s iconic dishes alongside a curated omakase menu, all framed by the golden glow of sunset over the Aegean.
Adding to the hotel’s gourmet offerings is Cocco Mykonos, an Italian-inspired bistro nestled in the heart of Little Venice. Marrying Mediterranean freshness with Italian elegance, Cocco serves seasonal dishes in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere—a true celebration of flavors and simple pleasures.
A Living Muse of Mykonos
With its deep-rooted heritage, creative spirit, and commitment to genuine hospitality, the Belvedere is more than a luxury retreat—it’s a muse, a gathering place, and a soulful escape. Whether enjoying cocktails under the stars, indulging in world-class cuisine, or simply strolling its serene walkways, guests discover a destination that fosters connection, inspiration, and lasting memories.
As the 2025 season begins, the Belvedere Hotel once again invites travelers to experience the true essence of Mykonos—where luxury meets legacy, and every moment tells a story.
