Palladium Hotel is closed from late Oct. until May 15th for the winter season.
It’s hard to go too wrong anywhere in the Cyclades, of course, but some places are a bit more special than others. Mykonos is one of those places, and the seaside resort town of Platis Gialos boasts one of the island’s best beaches. It’s here, on a terraced hillside on the south coast of the island, that you’ll find the Palladium Hotel, a newly renovated 40-room boutique-style resort hotel.
Exteriors are pretty much as you’d expect, low whitewashed terraced buildings, the better to set off the deep blue of the Aegean. Interiors, though, are livelier and more stylish than the average all-white Greek hotel, and the rooms and suites are as well-equipped as any: balconies or verandas, flat-screen TVs, stereo systems, and luxurious marble-clad bathrooms. Many come with hydromassage tubs, if not actual jacuzzis, and a few of the suites offer a step up to a private swimming pool.
It’s a short walk down to the beach, and a short taxi ride to Mykonos town center. All in all the Palladium is a big step up from the average, in a place that’s already well above average. Small in size, intimate in atmosphere, and plush in comfort, and yet with little of the fussiness that luxury boutique hotels are often prone to.
How to get there:
