Located along the coastline of Kalo Livadi Bay, Four Seasons Resort Mykonos, Greece will offer 94 spacious rooms, villas and suites with exquisite views of the Aegean Sea. The brand-new resort will take shape on an unspoiled 60,324 square metres (649,322 square feet) of land, spanning from the sandy beaches to the picturesque coastal cliffs.
“Expanding our presence in Greece has been a key focus for us for many years, and we have continued to search for the right opportunities to grow in this important market. Following the success of our partnership with AGC Equity Partners on our award-winning hotel in Athens, we knew that this new resort in Mykonos would be the perfect addition to our portfolio in this beautiful country,” says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential.
“We look forward to welcoming guests to the ultimate beachside retreat when we open our doors.”
Mykonos is best known for its wide variety of white sand beaches, cobblestone streets lined with bright bougainvillea in the capital of Chora, historical and cultural sites, and an extensive culinary scene.
“Our decision to expand our investment portfolio in Greece and develop another landmark destination in Mykonos constitutes evidence of our increased confidence in, and commitment to, the country’s growth in high-end tourism,” says Walid Abu-Suud, CEO of AGC Equity Partners.
“We have no doubt that this new Resort will become a destination in its own right for international and local tourism. We look forward to collaborating with Four Seasons in Greece once again.”
Leading the team at the new Resort will be General Manager Ryan Grande, who brings extensive expertise from his 14 years with Four Seasons, including at properties in Jackson Hole, Seattle, Vancouver and Costa Rica. Grande will guide the new opening team in bringing Four Seasons genuine heart to the beautiful island of Mykonos.
“To lead the opening team of this highly anticipated project is an honour,” says Grande.
“I’ve experienced many properties, cultures and destinations throughout my Four Seasons tenure, and being a part of this expansion in Greece will undoubtedly be a career highlight. I look forward to opening our doors in Mykonos very soon.”
About Four Seasons Resort Mykonos
To honour the culture and heritage of the destination, the Resort is designed and developed in the Cycladic style that is synonymous with Mykonos, featuring white cubic architecture with whitewashed courtyards, traditional pathways and picturesque piazzas - signature trademarks of the local architecture.
The Resort will also take advantage of the varied natural landscape, featuring quintessential Mediterranean and Cycladic elements, immersing guests in the beauty of the destination, while preserving and maintaining the surrounding environment through sustainable design and architecture.
The project is designed by the renowned Greek architect Nicos Valsamakis, inspired by the timeless elegance and sophistication of Mykonos, with interior design led by Wimberly Interiors.
The Resort will also offer an exciting variety of restaurant and bar options designed by Rockwell Group, such as an al fresco pool-side Italian venue, a modern interpretation of a Mykonian kafeneio, and a beach experience harmoniously integrated with its environment and celebrating its natural beauty.
Additional Resort features will include a relaxed infinity swimming pool overlooking the Aegean Sea, a spa with several treatment rooms and fitness facilities as well as several indoor and outdoor venues for meetings, events and celebrations alike. For those looking for added activity, the property will offer boating adventures, water sports and additional recreational activities.
Four Seasons Resort Mykonos, Greece will complement the existing Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, which can be accessed via Mykonos by ferry or a short flight.
