      Dreaming of Mykonos? This boutique hotel is one to add to your bucket list

      We may be in the midst of winter, but that hasn’t stopped us from dreaming about a Grecian summer.
      In the vein of planning ahead, we want to whisk you away to the shores of Mykonos to give you some wanderlust inspiration for next summer.
      Hidden in the cove of the Ornos Bay area of the island lies Kalesma Mykonos, an exclusive oasis like no other. Blending seamlessly into the surroundings of the island, the look and feel of the hotel have been designed as a collection of houses to resemble a charming Mykonian village.

      Created by the Greek owners, every aspect of this hotel not only provides a truly secluded stay but also at its core ensures an authentic experience on one of the country’s most popular island getaways. Kalesma isn’t what you’d normally associate the party resort of Mykonos with, but it’s a welcomed change – and you’re just a stone’s throw away from the action.
      The Feel
      As soon as you step into this whitewashed haven, you’re overcome by a wave of relaxation. Welcome to paradise.
      Created by the Greek owners, every aspect of this hotel not only provides a truly secluded stay but also at its core ensures an authentic experience on one of the country’s most popular island getaways. Kalesma isn’t what you’d normally associate the party resort of Mykonos with, but it’s a welcomed change – and you’re just a stone’s throw away from the action.
      The Stay

      Ideal for visitors from the GCC region, Kalesma is perhaps the most exclusive resort you’ll find on the Greek island of Mykonos.
      The luxe hideaway features 12 one-bedroom villas, 13 one-bedroom suites and two larger villas accommodating up to eight guests, all of which have their own pools, giving optimum privacy on this bustling island. In fact, it’s the only hotel in Mykonos where this level of privacy is found.
      Each accommodation overlooks Ornos Bay, complete with floor-to-ceiling French doors, meaning you never miss out on any of the breathtaking views. For sun lovers, there’s also the terrace and the pool which becomes a sun trap in the morning and in the evening it becomes a golden oasis as the Grecian sunsets.
      The Food

      Back up at the main part of the hotel, by the reception, lies the hotel’s restaurant, Pere Ubu. Situated just by the hotel’s infinity pool, you’re treated to the same stunning views you’ll see from your room, but out the other side of the restaurant by the firepit, you can see through to the other side of the island, giving a 360-degree aspect to the hotel.
      The food – both breakfast and dinner – is just as impressive as the views with a number of Cycladic dishes on the menu. The seabass was definitely a winner – when in Greece!
      The Verdict
      Five-star service, paired with a five-star hotel makes for nothing short of a spectacular stay. Trust us, you won’t want to leave.

      For those who have been gallivanting around Europe this summer (and we’re sure that’s many of you), you may have happened to stumble across the Zuma name more than once.
      The globally renowned luxury restaurant brand debuted three new venues this summer in key holiday destinations: Ibiza, Sardinia and Mykonos.
      It marks a milestone in the 20-year history of the restaurant when it first opened its doors in London two decades ago. In fact, according to Zuma’s Creator and Co-Founder Rainer Becker, the new Mykonos venue is a marker for what the next 20 years hold for the brand.
      “This is a momentous summer for Zuma, with three new venues opening across Europe, including our brand-new Mykonos lifestyle hub,” he explained. “We opened the first Zuma in London 20 years ago and look forward to embarking on our next 20 years as we launch this new venue concept internationally.”
      The opening of the Mykonos venue is a first-of-its-kind for Zuma, encompassing a multi-purpose destination including a restaurant, lounge and bar, as well as a sleek infinity pool, day beds and resident DJ.
      The new venue offers the same exquisite cuisine many Dubai residents will know and love but on a different level. Visitors can indulge in the beloved staple dishes during the day as they soak up the Mediterranean sun as they chill out poolside. Then, when the sun sets, the space transforms into the ultimate night-time hotspot with a DJ playing chilled house into the early hours.
      Go inside the chic new European hotspot below.

      If this is a marker for what’s set to come for the Zuma brand globally, we can’t wait to see what’s next.
