A member of the Leading Small Hotels of the World group and winner of the coveted 5 Star Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, the Kivotos Club is truly awe inspiring with almost two members of staff for every guest.
Set in lush gardens, architecturally elegant and located just five minutes or so by road from Mykonos Town, this hotel is made up of just 40 rooms. Each has been individually decorated by local craftsmen and famous artists, under the meticulous supervision of the owners.
The quality of the Kivotos Club really is second to none and, to be totally honest, this is reflected in the price, but if you feel like pushing the boat out and going for something totally unique, a holiday here is one you'll remember for the rest of your life…for all the right reasons.
Aesthetes will adore the antiques and designer fabrics which adorn the whole property, while foodies will find themselves in gourmet heaven with the hotel's two restaurants, one of which - 'La Meduse' - is considered one of the very best on the island and boasts a Michelin star chef who'll be happy to rustle up anything from an omelette to lobster.
For more casual dining, there's a poolside café which serves light snacks and traditional Greek dishes, while other facilities include two pool (one seawater, one freshwater) a pool bar, a snooker room, a squash court and a fully equipped fitness centre with a sauna, Jacuzzi, massage and body treatments. Maid service takes place twice a day, you'll receive fresh fruit and flowers in your room on a daily basis and, by way of a welcome, you'll be given a glass of champers on arrival as well as getting a chance to meet the Kivotos Club mascot: a rabbit in a box. Don't ask.
So…what of your room?
Standard rooms, which don't have a seaview, are all air conditioned with a private bathroom and verandah, and feature satellite plasma TV, a CD player, a safe, bathrobes, slippers and luxury cosmetics.
Superior rooms offer the same facilities but a higher standard of décor and furnishings, with an additional sitting area and a seaview.
Now, although for package programs we're only offering standard and superior rooms, the more affluent among you might want to go for an upgrade. If so, you'll have to ask us for a special price, and then we'll tell you all about the hotel's deluxe superior rooms, suites, deluxe suites and the staggeringly opulent VIP Suite.
