A premier adults-only resort in Platis Gialos on Mykonos, the Myconian Ambassador offers spacious luxury suites with private terraces overlooking the sea, a thalassotherapy spa, two pools, and refined dining options. The hotel provides a tranquil counterpoint to Mykonos's frenetic energy.
Myconian Ambassador Relais & Châteaux Hotel is a premier adults-only luxury resort situated at Platis Gialos on the southern coast of Mykonos, approximately 5 kilometres south of Mykonos Town and adjacent to one of the island's most popular sandy beaches. The property is part of the Myconian Collection — a group of related luxury hotels on Mykonos — and carries the Relais & Châteaux designation, an independent quality benchmark for excellence in hospitality and gastronomy across the South Aegean and beyond.
The hotel is built into the hillside above Platis Gialos beach, with its accommodation units cascading toward the shore in tiered Cycladic style. The architecture combines the island's characteristic whitewash and blue accents with a sophisticated interior palette of natural linen, bleached wood, and locally quarried stone. All suites are oriented to maximise sea views across Platis Gialos Bay and the southern Aegean.
The property offers approximately 40 accommodation units, all suites, ranging from Classic Sea View Suites to top-tier penthouse suites with separate living areas, large private terraces, and outdoor Jacuzzis. All accommodation is adults-only for guests aged 16 and over.
The Myconian Ambassador Thalassotherapy Centre is the hotel's flagship wellness facility, offering a comprehensive programme of seawater-based therapies, salt cave sessions, hydrotherapy pools, and a full menu of body and beauty treatments. The centre also accepts day visitors from elsewhere on the island, reflecting its reputation as one of Mykonos's finest spa facilities. Two outdoor pools — a main infinity pool and a smaller heated pool — are supplemented by a fitness room and regular yoga sessions.
Dining centres on the Avra Restaurant, which serves modern Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on fresh Aegean seafood. Menus change seasonally. The hotel bar maintains a well-stocked selection of Greek wines and spirits. A complimentary shuttle service runs to Mykonos Town several times daily in season.
