Amarelo Suites

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Amarelo Suites in Klouvas, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — this part of Mykonos feels refreshingly removed from the party chaos of Mykonos Town. The four-star property sits in this quiet pocket where you can actually hear the wind through the olive trees, and there’s complimentary parking right on site (which, trust me, is gold on this island). The suites have this clean, modern Cycladic vibe without trying too hard — white walls, natural textures, and those signature blue accents that somehow never get old in the Greek islands.

The Suite Experience

My room was spacious in a way that surprised me — you know how hotel photos can be deceiving, but this place actually delivered on space. The suite layout works really well, with a separate sitting area that doesn’t feel cramped against the bedroom. What I appreciated most was the attention to details that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The bathroom had proper counter space, and the balcony was positioned to catch both morning light and those incredible Aegean sunsets that Mykonos does so well.

Location & Getting Around

Klouvas isn’t where most tourists end up, and that’s exactly why it works. You’re about a 10-minute drive from the main town — close enough for dinner and nightlife, but far enough that you can sleep without hearing scooters at 3 AM. The area has this authentic island feel where you’ll see local fishermen heading out in the morning and families gathering at the small tavernas in the evening. I mean, couples clearly love it here (the staff mentioned they consistently rate the location highly), and I can see why — it’s romantic without being isolated.

Activities & Amenities

Here’s what caught me off guard — they actually have a tennis court on the property, which feels almost surreal given how compact most Mykonos hotels are. The fishing and windsurfing opportunities are legitimate too, not just marketing speak. The northern coast here gets consistent wind that’s perfect for water sports, and the hotel can arrange boat trips to some of the quieter beaches that you’d never find on your own. There’s something satisfying about having real activities available instead of just poolside lounging (though honestly, the pool area is pretty perfect for that too).

Why Guests Love It

The 9.5 rating makes sense once you spend time here — it’s that rare combination of excellent service without the stuffiness, and genuine island charm without the tourist trap feeling. The staff knows the area well and gives recommendations that actually pan out, from the best beach tavernas to which sunset spots aren’t overrun with Instagram photographers. You’re getting authentic Mykonos here, the version that existed before it became a celebrity playground, but with all the modern comforts you’d want from a well-run hotel.

Hotel in Mykonos reservations soar before white party residencies, so revelers secure suites with DJ booth terraces.
