Island Indulgence: A Luxurious Escape to the Myconian Ambassador, Mykonos

Perched gracefully above the sun-kissed shores of Platis Gialos Beach, the Myconian Ambassador, part of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection, is a shining example of Greek island luxury. Just 5 kilometres from the electric energy of Mykonos Town, this five-star sanctuary offers discerning travellers the perfect balance between serenity and sophistication.

The Ambassado has 69 rooms, suites and villas. Interiors are tastefully understated, allowing the surrounding natural beauty to take centre stage. Each space features a private balcony or terrace—many with breathtaking Aegean views—along with thoughtful touches like mood lighting, high-speed connectivity, a minibar and seamless room service.

At the heart of the property is a commitment to holistic well-being. The Thalasso spa centre offers rejuvenating treatments inspired by the sea, while the state-of-the-art gym keeps wellness routines uninterrupted. Latitudes is the hotel’s stylish breakfast venue situated by the pool with a panoramic sea view. Dining here for breakfast was a treat!

For dinner, the acclaimed Efisia restaurant is a culinary journey not to be missed. Here, classic Mediterranean flavours are elevated through the use of seasonal local ingredients and inventive techniques—a true ode to modern Greek cuisine.

The hotel’s infinity-edge pool is a destination in itself. Overlooking the azure expanse of the Aegean, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, cocktail in hand. A particularly charming touch? At 1 PM daily, the staff bring around complimentary artisanal ice cream—a small but Platis Gialos Beach is 300 metres away and has golden sands and crystal-clear waters. The boardwalk is lined with charming boutiques and relaxed beachside eateries, offering plenty to explore. A short stroll leads to Scorpios Beach Club, a magnet for stylish travellers drawn to its bohemian energy and sunset rituals.

While the setting is stunning, it’s the impeccable service that truly sets the Myconian Ambassador apart. The staff’s warmth and professionalism were evident in every interaction, from remembering my breakfast order to polishing my sunglasses by the pool. These small but meaningful touches create a sense of personalised hospitality that lingers long after departure.

The Myconian Ambassador is more than a hotel—it’s an experience of understated luxury, where every detail is curated for comfort, indulgence, and a deep connection to the spirit of Mykonos. Whether you‘re seeking a peaceful retreat or a stylish base from which to explore the island, this is one address you‘ll want to remember.
