Royal Myconian Resort

Couples looking for a dream honeymoon close to home, which is practically guaranteed warm sunshine, beauty and romance, will be delighted to discover The Royal Myconian resort, majestically perched on the hillside overlooking Elia Beach on the iconic Greek Island of Mykonos.

The Royal Myconian Resort is a distinguished member of Leading Hotels of the World and is part of the Myconian Collection, a local family-owned brand encompassing nine outstanding luxury hotels on the legendary island of Mykonos.  

 The Royal Myconian Resort boasts privileged views over Elia Bay, the longest fine sand beach on Mykonos. The stunning resort offers everything a honeymoon couple could possibly need for a blissful holiday in the sun, with outstanding amenities and state-of-the-art facilities including a panoramic pool deck, a superb spa, conference facilities and restaurants that celebrate a truly gourmet Greek experience.

 Royal’s panoramic pool deck offers a luxurious, contemporary space to stretch out on deep, comfortable sun loungers and soak the sun’s rays by the generously sized pool. For beach lovers, a short stroll takes guests to the hotel’s private beach with its shady loungers, waiter service and access to the warm, crystal clear waters of the Agean Sea, which is ideal for swimming.

Beyond its illuminated rustic façade of Cycladic stone are contemporary interiors and vast entertainment decks, with plush guest accommodation offered in cool, spacious rooms and suites, with private balconies or vast terraces and the option to book a room with your own infinity pool or Jacuzzi. Each of the elegant rooms and suites at Royal Myconian offer sweeping views across the blue waters of the Aegean, framed by whitewashed walls and natural fabrics echoing the hues of the Greek island summer. Every guest’s desire and comfort is anticipated: from the luxury of fine cotton sheets to discreet morning housekeeping and evening turndown; from soundless air-conditioning to high-speed WIFI and a LED satellite TV.

At night, the hotel pool is transformed with fibre-optic lighting to give a magical twinkling effect, which is very romantic. Meanwhile, the pool bar plays authentic Greek music to get guests into the mood to enjoy the finest Greek cuisine at the hotel’s taverna-style Greek restaurant.  Favourite Greek dishes are served alongside traditional Greek fayre, washed down with the finest wines. Once a week, guests are treated to a plate-smashing Greek tradition, which is enormous fun! They are handed a pile of purpose-made ‘dinner plates’, designed to be smashed onto the floor to the traditional sounds of the Zorba dance. It makes for a wonderful, lively evening ­– definitely a memorable part of any honeymoon.

 Buffet breakfast is served daily, in the main restaurant where diners can be seated on the terrace against a stunning sea view backdrop. At night the restaurant is closed for guests and used as a conference space and for weddings of all sizes, Christenings and family reunions.  Hotel guests can also enjoy fine Mediterranean cuisine and beverages down on Elia Beach, as well as light snacks at Meltemi.

At the beautifully appointed Royal Myconian Resort Thalasso Spa Centre peace and rejuvenation combine with elegant luxury.  Relaxing massages, therapies and couples rituals are administered in plush treatment rooms, whilst spa lovers can relax in the hydrotherapy pools, lit with fibre optic lighting, or use the sauna and steam facilities.  There is also a state-of-the-art gymnasium to ensure you stay fit during your visit.

Shopping spree!

It’s quite a surprise to visit to the unique Myconian Shopping Village, which is fully stocked with beautiful clothes and accessories and is a must for browsing during your stay. It showcases an exclusive list of fashion brands including both upscale international designers and popular local Greek brands.

For a small, intimate wedding in Greece, exchange vows in a small whitewashed chapel, followed by a reception on the beach, or in one of Royal Myconian’s fine restaurants overlooking the Aegean. Then retreat to the luxurious privacy of your honeymoon suite where special services such as in-room dinners, couples’ massages on your scenic deck, and other such intimate indulgences can be yours.

 But if it’s the ultra-glamorous island wedding that you’re looking for, with families and friends in attendance, then we’re your perfect venue too. The Royal Myconian in Elia has masterminded some of the most spectacular luxury weddings on Mykonos. The resort will prepare the stage for your own team and assist where required, or provide a total event solution that includes everything – from invitations to travel logistics and VIP transportation, menus and specialist cakes, beverage and fine wines, flowers and favours, lighting, sound, music, as well as planning the newlyweds’ honeymoon getaway. And, as the night falls on the celebrations, the hotel can set the bay alight with fireworks.

 Our executive chefs love the challenge of tailoring a gastronomic experience to your tastes, with creativity, and loyalty to the standards of culinary excellence, which have earned the Myconian Collection no less than three Relais & Châteaux accolades.

 The wedding team will assist in the officiation of ceremonies across all denominations. Certified halal and kosher kitchens are run within the gourmet tradition of the hotel group’s cuisine, and traditional Indian cuisine with the spice and flavours prepared by South Asian chef. Some of the most famous and discerning Indian couple celebrities have chosen the Myconian Collection for their traditional Hindu wedding.

 A fleet of high-end luxury limousines, Porsche Cayennes, Mercedes 15-seat limo mini- buses and 40-seat limo mini-coaches are at your disposal for guest transfers. Private jet, helicopter and yachts are also available upon request for VIP transfers.
