Up to 61% off a five-star Cycladic retreat on Mykonos with private beach access

The Semeli Coast Mykonos sits on Merchia Bay on the island’s quieter eastern coast, which is about as far from the Mykonos Town party circuit as you can get while still being on Mykonos. That is precisely the point. The resort occupies a stretch of private beach where the water meets natural rock formations, and the architecture is the kind of clean-lined Cycladic modernism that photographs beautifully and feels, in person, genuinely calm.

This is a Curio Collection property — Hilton’s soft brand for independent-character hotels — and the Semeli Coast earns its place in that category. The rooms and suites are designed around Aegean views, and the villa options come with private pools. Breakfast is included in this offer.

The dining offer is more considered than you might expect from a resort of this scale. Icare is the flagship restaurant, drawing on the food philosophy of the nearby island of Ikaria, whose population has attracted attention for its health and longevity — a menu point that feels current rather than gimmicky. Almira Taverna and Almira Beach Lounge take a simpler approach, serving traditional Cycladic dishes at the water’s edge. The Pool Bar handles cocktails and lighter food from the afternoon through late evening.

There is a holistic spa on site — spa treatments are charged separately — along with indoor and outdoor pools and fitness facilities. The private beach is the headline draw, and it is genuinely secluded: Merchia Bay sees far fewer visitors than the island’s more famous southern beaches.

Getting there requires a hire car or taxi. The resort is around 25 minutes from Mykonos International Airport and 20 minutes from the New Port. Mykonos Town and the famous party beaches at Elia, Psarou and Super Paradise are roughly 15 minutes by car. The village of Ano Mera, with its 16th-century monastery, is nearby for a quieter afternoon.

This is a time-limited offer open for booking until 18 May 2026. The from rate of £258 is per room per night based on a minimum 3-night stay.
