One needn’t search hard for a reason to visit Greece — a land of fresh, flavor-packed food, rich history, and stunning scenery. But sometimes we need an excuse. This year, we suggest you look at the country’s wave of new luxury hotels. Encompassing everything from rustic-chic island hideaways to opulent, amenities-packed resorts, there’s an option for everyone, and each one’s more enticing than the last.
All of the 7 properties below are recently opened or about to debut. This is your sign to book a Mediterranean vacation now.
1. Four Seasons Mykonos
Seated above the crystalline Kalo Livadi Bay, this dreamy seaside retreat offers 94 accommodations — all with an airy, minimalist aesthetic and views of the Aegean. There are plenty of places to relax beyond the rooms as well: a private beach, outdoor infinity pools, and dining options that span from traditional Greek fare to Italian.
2. Rosewood Blue Palace
This secluded getaway is set to reopen in 2027 as part of the Rosewood Hotels portfolio. The reimagined space is ideally situated between the picturesque fishing village of Plaka and the port of Elounda. It will include six restaurants and bars, all designed by Greek-born, London-based interior designer Afroditi Krassa. On top of that, you’ll find a full-spectrum fitness center, including a gym, yoga pavilion, and hydrotherapy facilities. There will also be three outdoor pools, complete with vistas of the Aegean Sea.
3. Gundari
Gundari is for those looking for an off-the-grid alternative to the excess of Mykonos and teeming tourist scene in Athens. You will appreciate the raw beauty of this Folegandros retreat. Nestled high within the island’s craggy cliffs, the hotel has an air of understated luxury. Think rugged, Cycladic-style rooms overlooking clear blue waters, meals made from locally-sourced ingredients, and spa treatments that tap into the time-honored therapies of the ancient Greeks.
4. Fouquet’s Mykonos
Debuting this month, this addition to the Barrière Collection is surprisingly private for a hotel on Mykonos. After all, Mykonos is a spot that’s legendary for its see-and-be-seen party circuit. This is thanks to the property’s unique placement on the island: at the southernmost tip between Paraga and Paradise beaches. This allows guests a respite from the bustling social scene, while maintaining easy access to the busier areas. That said, you might be tempted not to leave the property: in addition to oceanfront rooms, it boasts a spa with Dr. Barbara Sturm treatments, buzzy Japanese restaurant ROKA, and a beach club.
5. Andronis Minois
Newly renovated with 44 streamlined suites, this quiet escape is just the excuse to visit Paros. As you might know, Paros is an island often referenced as where the Greeks go to vacation in Greece. The property is low-key-but-elegant, complete with a photo-ready pool area, intimate spa, and open-air restaurant. Of course, everything is overlooking the sparkling Aegean Sea. For those looking to explore a bit, there are guided tours available to neighboring towns such as the lively capital of Parikia and the charming village of Lefkes.
6. Tierras Villas
There are five sprawling and gorgeously appointed villas on this Crete-based complex. They all have soothing, naturalistic décor, a fully equipped kitchen, and unparalleled views. The property is set to open July 2026, and will include access to restaurants on nearby Omicron Group resorts, an on-site bathhouse, and a sound-healing facility.
7. Perma Serifos
Born out of a philosophy of slow living and constant personal growth, this oasis on the island of Serifos works to build its living space in harmony with the area’s natural landscape. This means interiors that open into sprawling sea views. The property also has a sustainable wastewater treatment system installed across the property. All available experiences are designed to be customized to each guest, and include private dining, personal yoga sessions, and holistic spa treatments.
