Yi Hotel Mykonos

Yi Hotel Mykonos Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Yi Hotel Mykonos, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away near Elia Beach. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you’re not looking for them. The hotel sits in this quiet spot in Livadakia, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup — it’s like they found the sweet spot between being close to everything but far enough away that you actually feel like you’re on vacation.

The Perfect Elia Beach Location

Here’s the thing about staying near Elia Beach — you’re basically getting one of Mykonos’ best-kept secrets without the crazy crowds of Paradise or Super Paradise. I mean, Elia is gorgeous, with that golden sand and crystal-clear water, but it’s not overrun with party boats and beach clubs blasting music all day. The hotel’s position means you can walk to the beach in just a few minutes, and there’s actually free private parking on-site, which — trust me — is a huge deal on this island where finding a parking spot can feel like winning the lottery.

Comfortable Accommodations

My room was exactly what I needed after long days exploring the island. Nothing overly fancy, but everything worked perfectly and the space felt thoughtfully designed. The balcony became my favorite spot for morning coffee, looking out over the surrounding landscape with glimpses of the Aegean in the distance. What really impressed me was how quiet everything was at night — you’d think being on Mykonos means constant noise, but this place feels like its own little bubble of calm.

Morning Fuel and Dining

The breakfast setup here actually surprised me in the best way. They do both continental and buffet options, and I found myself looking forward to it each morning rather than just grabbing something quick to get out the door. The spread has all the Greek classics you’d want — fresh yogurt, local honey, proper feta — plus enough international options that even picky eaters will find something they love. The restaurant area has this relaxed vibe where you can take your time without feeling rushed, which sets a nice tone for the day.

Why Guests Love It

Look, I get why this place has such high ratings — it’s one of those hotels that just works. Couples especially seem to love it here (and honestly, I can see why with that romantic Elia Beach setting), but it’s not exclusively a romantic getaway. The staff genuinely seems to care about making sure you have what you need, and the location gives you easy access to both the beautiful beach scene and the ability to explore other parts of the island without feeling like you’re staying in the middle of chaos. Sometimes the best vacation spots are the ones that let you be as social or as private as you want, and Yi Hotel Mykonos nails that balance perfectly.

Mykonos hotels keep jet-setters close to Matogianni boutiques, sacred Delos cruises, and labyrinthine nightlife.
