Aviola Mykonos

Aviola Mykonos Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Aviola Mykonos, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away in Ftelia. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you’re not looking for them. The hotel sits in this perfect sweet spot between Elia Beach and the more secluded northern coastline, and there’s something refreshingly understated about the whole place — no flashy entrance or over-the-top lobby, just clean lines and that effortless Greek island aesthetic that actually works.

Location & Getting Around

The location is honestly brilliant, especially if you’re planning a romantic getaway (couples absolutely rave about this place, and I can see why). You’re close enough to Elia Beach that it’s an easy walk when you want that classic Mykonos beach scene, but far enough from the party crowds that you can actually sleep at night. What really sold me was the free parking right on site — I mean, anyone who’s tried to park in Mykonos Town knows this is basically gold. The hotel provides shuttle service to the main beaches too, which saves you from dealing with those winding island roads if you’d rather not drive.

The Room Experience

My room had this lovely terrace that caught the morning light perfectly, and the design strikes that tricky balance between modern comfort and traditional Cycladic style. The beds are actually comfortable (not always a given in boutique properties), and the bathroom felt spacious without being wasteful. What I appreciated most was the attention to small details — good water pressure, blackout curtains that actually work, and air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing. The views vary depending on which room you get, but even the garden-facing ones have their charm.

Activities & Amenities

This isn’t a massive resort with endless facilities, but what they do have works well. There’s a game room that’s perfect for those inevitable windy afternoons when the beach isn’t appealing, plus ping-pong tables and bike rentals if you want to explore the quieter parts of the island. I actually enjoyed cycling along the northern coast — it’s less touristy and you get these incredible views that most visitors never see. The pool area is where you’ll probably spend most of your downtime though, and it’s designed for relaxation rather than showing off.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.9 rating, this place clearly does something right, and after staying here, I think it’s the combination of genuine hospitality and smart location choices. The staff actually remembers your name and preferences without being intrusive about it. You’re getting that boutique hotel experience without the boutique hotel attitude, if that makes sense. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to experience Mykonos without staying in the chaos of Mykonos Town or paying the premium prices of the super-famous beach clubs. Plus, when you want to venture out for dinner or nightlife, you’re still connected to everything — just with a peaceful retreat to return to.
