DEOS
Mykonos
DEOS draws its name from the ancient Greek term signifying a sense of awe or wonder, inspired by the sublime. Perched above Mykonos town, the stunning panorama spans from the 16th-century windmills of the old harbour to the neighbouring islands of Syros, Tinos, and the sacred Delos.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Cycladic designs, DEOS intimately follows this unique architecture form, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces. Rooms offer the comfort of a private residence, with spacious marble bathrooms and elegant living areas, which lead to large furnished and landscaped outdoor spaces. These terraces, shaded by a pergola and featuring either a pool or a jacuzzi, are perhaps the signature experience at the hotel.
The local riches and Mediterranean diet are enjoyed in the lavish breakfasts and light poolside lunches at the hotel’s flagship restaurant, Epico. The elegant, stone-clad interior extends onto a scenic deck, where the relaxed rhythm of the day transforms into an enchanting night-time spot as the sun sets. Start your evening with an apéritif at the terrace bar, which offers magnificent views. Dinner represents the ultimate fine dining experience in Mykonos. Whether you choose to dine indoors or al fresco under the stars, this setting engages all senses, capturing the quintessential casual glamour of the 1960s.
