Greece: Kalesma Mykonos
Minimalist Cycladic Design Above Ornos Bay
Kalesma Mykonos sits along a hillside in Ornos, its whitewashed forms reading as a Cycladic village at first glance, until Rick Owens furniture and a fire-pit cocktail lounge signal otherwise. Every one of its suites and two villas comes with its own private heated infinity pool, and the largest suites open onto 140 to 190 square meters of outdoor space complete with an outdoor kitchen and two separate dining areas.
The property's central plateia, styled after a town square, is bordered by the main infinity pool, cocktail bar, and Pere Ubu Restaurant, where executive chef Costas Tsingas focuses on genuine Mykonian cooking rather than a fusion menu; Kuveda Taverna offers a more casual, organic alternative. Wellness comes via a spa by Dr. Barbara Sturm, complete with Sacred Sound Journeys, a Hammam, and a Technogym-equipped fitness center.
