Four Seasons Resort Mykonos: Opens June 26, 2026
The most anticipated hotel opening in the Mediterranean this year. Four Seasons brings its signature understated luxury to the Cyclades for the first time.
Key Details
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Opening date | June 26, 2026 |
| Location | Cliffside above Kalo Livadi Bay, southeast Mykonos |
| Rooms | 94 rooms, suites, and villas |
| Design | By architect Nicos Valsamakis, modern Cycladic village across 15 acres |
| Highlights | All rooms with panoramic sea views and private terraces; many with infinity-edge plunge pools |
| Vibe | Stillness, privacy, curated local experiences, not the typical Mykonos party scene |
Why It Matters
Four Seasons Mykonos is positioned as the antithesis of Mykonos's party reputation. Set on the quieter southeast coast (away from the Paraga/Paradise Beach club strip), it targets travelers who want the island's natural beauty and gastronomic scene without the nightlife intensity.
The 15-acre property is designed to feel like a private Cycladic village: whitewashed buildings cascading down the cliff with interconnected pathways, gardens, and multiple dining venues.

Fouquet's Mykonos (Barrière Collection): Opens June 27, 2026
The legendary Parisian hospitality brand makes its Greek island debut with a property that blends French luxury with Aegean energy.
Key Details
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Opening date | June 27, 2026 |
| Location | Between Paraga Beach and Paradise Beach |
| Suites | 61 suites + 3 ultra-exclusive villas with private pools |
| Spa | "Rock Spa" by Dr. Barbara Sturm, rare indoor pool + advanced wellness treatments |
| Dining | ROKA Japanese robata restaurant |
| Vibe | French refinement meets Mykonos beach energy |
Why It Matters
Fouquet's positioning between Paraga and Paradise beaches puts it at the epicenter of Mykonos's beach club scene: walking distance to Scorpios and SantAnna. It's the luxury option for travelers who want both world-class service AND proximity to the action.
The Dr. Barbara Sturm spa partnership is a major draw for the wellness-focused luxury segment, and ROKA brings one of London's most acclaimed Japanese restaurants to the island.
Other Notable Openings & Additions
The Azure Cove (Rumored: 2026)
An eco-luxe sustainability concept reportedly launching in a secluded northern bay. Details are sparse, but early reports suggest a focus on environmental design, organic gastronomy, and minimal-impact luxury.

- Nammos Hotel & Spa: Expanded private cabana offerings at Psarou Beach
- Scorpios: Enhanced "Sunset Rituals" programming with Keinemusik-affiliated artists
