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 personalized 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 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.

Indulge in the splendor of Avaton’s suites and villas which combine dramatic scenery, spacious volumes, trend-setting design and superlative service to epitomize luxury accommodation on Mykonos. Design is cutting-edge, with eye-catchers such as agate wall features, iconic classics as well as bespoke furnishings, islands of soft white comfort, bathrooms with walk-in rain showers and custom-carved stone elements — all accented by flashes of the signature red. A sense of privacy, comfort and unparalleled aesthetic pleasure is completed by the services of an attentive and discreet housekeeping staff. Yet the true essence of luxury lies in the invitation to celebrate outdoor living, on fully furnished balconies with infinity pools and Jacuzzis that overlook the wide golden sweep of Elia Beach.
