Kalesma, Mykonos, Greece
Catching a few rays of soft Greek sun sounds like a balm from the gods right about now, and we think we’ve found the perfect new spot to soak them up. Whether you’re seeking a glamorous party vacation or a simple Cycladic escape, Mykonos is always a good idea and its newest hotel, Kalesma, wraps up classic Grecian style in a truly contemporary wrapper. The spacious suites are all flowing ivory linen and clean modern lines and, best of all, they come with private heated pools. Down at Pere Ubu, the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, diners munch on freshly baked breads and local oysters, and once a week the hotel hosts intimate communal suppers for its residential guests.
IN THE KNOW
Eat as much as you can, the food on the island is fantastic. Our favourite restaurants include cliffside Spilia and the Paola Navone- designed Interni.
Ask the concierge about chartering a yacht for the afternoon to cruise around the coastal caves – it’s the ultimate indulgence.
Book it Suites from around £1,040 a night, kalesmamykonos.com
