Drawing inspiration from the eloquence of Greek mythology’s muse Calliope, traditional architecture, and Mykonos’ vibrance, the Cali Mykonos vision is to create a sanctuary nurturing the connections among people, the surroundings, and the future…
Getting ready to make a substantial splash on arguably Greece’s most cosmopolitan island in the heart of the Cyclades, Othon Mourkakos and a talented team intimately connected to Greece, luxury hospitality, and sustainable design are debuting Cali Mykonos, a boutique luxury resort, in July.
“We wanted to create an escape where guests can experience life somewhere else, with the charm of culture and tradition, conscious of a sustainable future,” said Othon Mourkakos, Founder of Cali Mykonos. “Each decision, from materials to methods to team members, is made with this goal in mind. We look forward to welcoming guests into our home and sharing Cali’s Mykonian summer.”

Each of the 40 suites and villas have a private pool and spacious terrace, descending from the mountain to the blue waters of Cali’s private beach. The resort’s expansive infinity pool, state-of-the-art gym, restaurant serving locally sourced food, pool bar, and bespoke experiences, such as yacht and luxury boat trips to nearby beaches or neighbouring islands, fashion a new way to experience Mykonos, with its charming marble streets, picturesque blue and white houses, iconic beaches and glamorous nightlife.

Athens-based architectural firm, STFN Labs, has combined traditional Cycladic architecture with natural features of the landscape. Built using the stone from the initial excavation, each building is uniquely placed along the terrain, resulting in a symphony of structures frozen in dance. Calm, light, and neutral interiors create a continuation of nature, with sleek lines and an array of marbles, whilst flat rooftops are planted with local vegetation, flowers and herbs, insulating rooms and improving air quality. Luxury furnishings, handcrafted in Greece, are constructed from native woods and marbles, and mattresses are all-natural and sustainably made, Coco Mat.
