Formed in equal parts by the work of nature and the art of man, the Avaton is a luxury hotel of singular beauty, built into the bare rock high above Elia Beach, the longest fine sand beach on Mykonos. Dramatic double volumes, panoramic decks and private balconies offer truly exceptional views, yet Avaton is much more than a unique location.
With exceptional design features, infinity pools, fine dining and a superb spa, it’s where personalised service and absolute privacy are taken to another dimension, anticipating a guest’s every wish. As a member of Design Hotels, Avaton is a true original, drawing on one family’s island roots and a tradition distilled into the essence of genuine hospitality.
The Avaton is named after the sacred places of ancient Greece, inaccessible to all but the initiated, 'so perfect that no common foot may be set upon them'. A promise of the extraordinary that is fulfilled in every detail: here, discerning guests can strike the perfect lifestyle balance between going with the magical flow for which Mykonos is famous, and recharging in a haven of restorative luxury.
The Avaton is poised high above Elia beach, the island’s longest beach situated on the south coastline a mere 10 km from Mykonos town. Renowned for its aquamarine waters, fine sand and activities, Elia is a destination in its own right, a place where ancient myths and modern legends come alive under the Aegean sun and starry nights. A complimentary shuttle service is available to run guests of the Myconian Collection to and from town almost every hour.
Ferries to the famous ruins of Delos, one of the most important mythological and archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, depart from the town harbour. Alternatively, you may choose to explore Delos, the neighbouring desert island of Rhenia or the hidden coves of Mykonos by private launch.
