Small hillside hotel with an infinity pool over Mykonos Town

Which area of Mykonos is best for an infinity pool stay?

The hills around Mykonos Town are the best base for most first stays, because they pair a sea-view pool by day with easy evenings in Chora. Chora is the island's main town, with the windmills and the seaside quarter of Little Venice, and most nights out start there. Cavo Tagoo Mykonos sits in Tagoo on the northern edge of town. Myconian Deos and Vencia Boutique Hotel look down on Chora from the hills above it. Bill & Coo Mykonos faces the sea at Megali Ammos, and Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa is in Tourlos, near the New Port.

The south and west coasts suit travelers who plan their days around the beach. Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos covers a private peninsula on Ornos Bay with its own sandy beach. Fouquet's Mykonos opened in 2026 between Paraga and Paradise beaches, and Myconian Villa Collection looks over Elia beach. On the west coast, Anax Resort & Spa stands on the shore at Agios Ioannis, which the Greek tourism board describes as a tranquil stretch together with Kapari.

The east coast is quieter and more exposed to the wind. Cali Mykonos and The Wild Hotel by Interni are in the Kalafatis area, known for windsurfing. Semeli Coast Mykonos, Curio Collection by Hilton looks over Merchia Bay on the northeast coast. Summer KTEL buses link Mykonos Town with Ornos, Agios Ioannis, Paraga, Elia and Kalafatis, so no area is cut off. Still, a late dinner in Chora is simplest from the town hotels.

Our pick for a first visit is Cavo Tagoo: its large sea-view infinity pool, which the hotel calls Olympic-sized, sits on the edge of Mykonos Town.

Sunset over Mykonos Town or a quiet bay: which view should you book?

Book the hills around Mykonos Town for sunsets with the town in view, and the east coast for open sea and bare hills with few buildings in sight. Unlike Santorini, where most pool hotels face the same caldera, the pools of Mykonos look over different bays, so the coast you choose decides the view.

In town, Bill & Coo promises sunsets from its infinity pool with the windmills in the background. Deos describes a 180-degree view over Mykonos Town and the Aegean from its pool deck. Vencia offers a wide view of the town and the island from its rooms, pool and restaurant. At the Riviera, the Pool Club in Tourlos becomes a sunset spot in the evening.

On the south coast, the view is of beaches and neighboring islands. The highest villa at Santa Marina looks across Ornos Bay toward five nearby islands. From Paraga, the tourism board points to views of Paros and Naxos.

The east coast trades the town for landscape. Semeli Coast looks over Merchia Bay and a wild, empty hillside, while the pool at The Wild follows the cliff above its own small cove. Cali's main infinity pool runs along the hillside above the resort's beach.

Our pick for sunset is Bill & Coo, where the windmills frame the view. For a view without a town, choose The Wild.

Shared infinity pool or a private one: what are you booking?

Every hotel on this page has a shared infinity pool for its guests, but a private pool comes only with specific room, suite or villa categories. The category name tells you what you get, so read it closely.

Only a few categories promise a private infinity pool by name. Bill & Coo sells a Sea View Suite with Infinity Pool, and some hilltop villas at Santa Marina have an infinity pool of their own. Elsewhere, a private pool can be anything from a small plunge pool to a hot tub, so check the photos of the exact category. Cavo Tagoo offers a Premium Room with Pool and a Junior Suite with Pool. Anax has suites with a private pool, and Semeli Coast has suites with their own pools. At Fouquet's Mykonos, some suites and villas have a private pool or a hot tub, and one category has a heated pool set over the sea. Myconian Villa Collection mixes suites and villas with private pools or outdoor hot tubs.

A private pool is most useful in July and August, when shared pool decks fill up, and for groups sharing a villa. For a couple on a short stay, a sea-view room and the main pool are often enough. As of 2026, the cheapest rooms at these hotels start from around 200 USD a night at the start or end of the season. At Santa Marina, Cali Mykonos, Cavo Tagoo and Fouquet's Mykonos, they start above 600 USD.

Our pick for a private infinity pool is Bill & Coo, because the category name itself promises the infinity edge. Groups who want a villa with its own pool should look at Santa Marina.

Beach clubs or a quiet cove: which pace suits you?

Pick the south coast for a social pool day and the east coast for peace. The Greek tourism board describes Ornos and Platis Gialos as the island's liveliest beaches. The stretch from Psarou to Paradise is known for beach clubs with music and champagne.

Fouquet's Mykonos is built around that social scene. ROKA runs the food and drinks all day, from the edge of the infinity pool to the beach club on Paraga. Santa Marina has its own beach club on Ornos Bay. Myconian Villa Collection has a private area on Elia, a wide beach that also has a naturist section.

The quiet side is the east. The Wild calls itself a secluded design hotel on the peaceful side of the island, with a private cove where local fishermen once kept their boats. Semeli Coast looks over the wild landscape of Merchia Bay, with a secluded beach a few steps from the pool area. Kalafatis, near Cali and The Wild, is a windsurfing beach, so expect a breeze rather than a party.

Our pick for groups of friends is Fouquet's Mykonos. For couples who want quiet, it is The Wild.

Can you swim in a Mykonos infinity pool without staying?

Yes, at three hotels on this page. Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa sells a pool day pass, and Cali Mykonos lets outside guests use its pool with a reservation and a fee. Cavo Tagoo also sells a limited number of day passes, booked in advance, because hotel guests have priority. In 2026, the Riviera Pool Club day pass costs 60 EUR for guests aged 12 and over. Children aged 2 to 11 pay half, and infants go free. The pass covers the heated pool and now also beach daybeds and umbrellas.

As of 2026, Cali's policy for outside guests sets a 100 EUR entrance fee per person, with food and drinks charged on top. Sunbeds there are first come, first served and cannot be reserved, so arrive early in high season.

Beach clubs are the other way in, with stricter rules. SantAnna, a beach club with a large pool at Paraga, admits only guests aged 16 and over to its pool, according to its terms and conditions. Its VIP zone and DJ deck are for guests aged 18 and over. The other hotels on this page publish no day pass, so treat their pools as reserved for staying guests.

Our pick for a pool day with children is the Riviera pass. For adults who want to try a 130 meter (430 foot) infinity pool above the sea, it is Cali.

Which hotel suits couples, families or groups of friends?

Couples do best in the smaller, quieter hotels, families at Cali Mykonos or Santa Marina, and groups of friends close to the south coast beach clubs. Bill & Coo presents itself as an intimate seaside retreat, and Vencia is a hillside boutique hotel whose infinity pool faces the town and the sea. Couples who want a pool without young children can choose Myconian Deos, which is adults-only for guests aged 12 and over. Santa Marina also lists its Oasis Pool & Lounge as adults only, but publishes no minimum age.

For families, Cali describes itself as a family-friendly resort for guests of all ages. Santa Marina also lists a children's playground and children's activities, so it works for families traveling with friends. Children are also welcome on the Riviera day pass, which has its own children's rate.

For groups of friends, Fouquet's Mykonos has a two-bedroom suite set right above the water at Paraga, and a pool deck that turns into a beach club scene. Villas with private pools at Myconian Villa Collection and Santa Marina give larger groups more space than a row of rooms.

Our pick for families is Cali, for its all-ages welcome and long shared pool. For couples who want to walk into Chora for dinner, we would choose Vencia, whose pool faces the town.

When is the best time for pool days in Mykonos?

June and September are the best months for pool days. The resorts are open, the sea is warm enough to swim, and the island is calmer than in July and August. July and August are the busiest months, with average highs around 28 C (82 F). May also works, with highs around 23 C (73 F). Early October is similar, at about 22 C (72 F), and the first rains of the wet season can arrive.

From about mid-May to mid-September, the meltemi, a strong and dry north wind, blows across the Aegean. It keeps summer days relatively cool, and it can make exposed pool decks breezy on some afternoons.

Most resorts on the island run seasonally, opening from around late April or May and closing in October. A heated pool helps at the edges of the season, and Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa describes its Pool Club pool as a heated infinity pool.

Book June or September for the best balance of weather and space, and choose a heated pool such as the Riviera's if you travel in May or October.

What should you check before booking?

Check four things before you pay: which pool your room category uses, the child policy, the season dates and the local fee.

Greece charges a Climate Crisis Resilience Fee per room per night. From April to October, the Greek tax authority sets it at 15 EUR for five-star hotels and 10 EUR for four-star hotels, with lower rates in winter. On a week in a five-star hotel, that adds about 100 EUR per room, so check whether your rate includes it.

Child policies can differ between a hotel and its pools. A resort that welcomes families may still keep one pool for adults, as Santa Marina does, so ask which pool your children can use.

New hotels need one more check. Fouquet's Mykonos opened in 2026, so it has little guest history, and its closing date for the year is worth confirming before an autumn trip. If an independent rating helps you decide, Myconian Villa Collection appears among the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Award winners for Mykonos.

Our advice: ask the hotel to confirm the pool category and the child rules in writing before you pay a deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cali Mykonos gives the length of its main infinity pool as 130 meters (430 feet). It runs along the hillside above the resort's own beach on the east coast, and its width changes along the way. Outside guests can book a visit for a fee, so you can try the pool before you commit to a stay.

Yes. Myconian Deos is adults-only, for guests aged 12 and over. Santa Marina lists its Oasis Pool & Lounge as adults only, with no published minimum age, and children can use the rest of the resort. Beach clubs set their own limits: SantAnna at Paraga admits only guests aged 16 and over to its pool. Always check the child policy for the exact pool you want.

Some are, but heating is not standard. Cavo Tagoo says all its pools are heated, and Mykonos Riviera Hotel & Spa heats its Pool Club infinity pool. That matters most in spring and autumn, when daytime highs sit around 22 C (72 F). If a warm pool is important to you, ask the hotel whether the shared pool or only the private pools are heated, and in which months.

At the family-friendly resorts, yes. Cali Mykonos describes itself as a resort for guests of all ages, and the Riviera Pool Club day pass has a reduced children's rate. Myconian Deos takes only guests aged 12 and over. Some resorts keep one pool for adults, and beach club pools such as SantAnna set a minimum age. Check the rule for the pool you plan to use before you book.

Not strictly, but it helps. In summer, KTEL buses run from the Old Port in Mykonos Town to Kalafatis, Elia and Agios Stefanos, and from Fabrika station to the south coast beaches. Timetables change each season, so for late dinners in Chora from Cali or The Wild, plan on a taxi or a rented car.

Rarely too windy, but often breezy. The meltemi, a strong and dry north wind, blows over the Aegean through most of the summer and keeps hot days relatively cool. Pools on the south and west coasts can feel more sheltered than open decks facing north, and the breeze makes long afternoons by the pool more comfortable.

It is a Greek fee charged per room for every night of your stay, set by hotel category. From April to October it is 15 EUR at five-star hotels and 10 EUR at four-star hotels, with lower rates in winter. Ask whether your quoted rate includes it, so it does not surprise you at checkout.

Most resort hotels open from late April or May and close in October. Few stay open all year, so a winter trip leaves little choice and cool pool water. For the widest choice of hotels and warm sea, plan your stay between June and September, and confirm the closing date if you travel in autumn.

Yes. Fouquet's Mykonos, from the French group Barriere, opened in 2026 between Paraga and Paradise beaches. It has around 60 suites plus a few villas, an infinity pool above the sea and a beach club run by ROKA. As a new hotel, it has little guest history, so read recent reviews and check the season dates before booking.

The quiet beaches are mostly on the north and east coasts. Agios Sostis, Fokos, Lia and Mirsini have no sunbeds or beach bars, so bring water and shade. The Wild Hotel by Interni and Semeli Coast also have their own small beaches, which stay calmer than the south coast beach clubs.

Yes, if you have a free morning. Delos is a short boat trip from Mykonos and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1990. It holds the ruins of the sanctuary of Apollo and an ancient trading port. It makes a good break in a week of pool days, and it adds history to a stay that is otherwise about the sea.
