Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos Opens Above Kalo Livadi Bay

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts says Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos is now open for its inaugural summer season above Kalo Livadi Bay on Mykonos.

The official July 21, 2026, hotel news release positions the property as the brand’s second hotel in Greece, joining Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, with 94 rooms, suites, and villas, a private beach, two infinity pools, and a full spa and dining program.

Travelers planning a Cyclades stay this summer or shoulder season can now treat Mykonos Four Seasons inventory as bookable rather than pre-opening rumor, then decide whether a secluded south-coast bay base beats a pure Chora or beach-club itinerary.

What Four Seasons confirmed about the Mykonos opening

According to the official Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos now-open release, the hotel is welcoming guests for its first summer season on a cliffside site designed by Greek architect Nicos Valsamakis.

The campus covers about six hectares, or 15 acres, and is framed as a Mykonian village style layout with Aegean views rather than a single tower on the waterfront of Chora.

Rainer Stampfer, Four Seasons president of global operations for hotels and resorts, describes the project as a second Greece expression of the brand in partnership with AGC Equity Partners, after the Athens Astir Palace hotel.

General Manager Ryan Grande says the property aims to let guests slow down on the bay or head into town, with shuttle and private transportation options available for evenings in Chora.

Independent trade reprint coverage on Mann About Town’s July 21 open notice carries the same open-date framing, room count, dining names, spa layout, and Athens transfer times, which matches the pressroom text travelers should use as the booking authority.

Reservations can be made through the hotel phone number listed in the release, +30 22 8944 1900, or through the brand booking path linked from the pressroom page.

Four Seasons also notes an upcoming Porto Heli project in Hinitsa Bay, but that future hotel is not open inventory and should not be confused with the live Mykonos property.

Rooms, dining, spa, and how the stay is meant to work

The pressroom says the 94 keys mix rooms, suites, and villas with plunge pools and whitewashed, minimalist design cues familiar to Mykonos travelers.

Dining is split across four named venues: Álef as a Mediterranean grill with Greek and Old World wines, Corbu for Italian all-day dining, The Beach for seaside cocktails, and Kafeneo for coffee, meze, dessert, and sunset drinks.

The spa lists seven treatment rooms, an outdoor pavilion, and a thermal circuit with sauna, steam, and vitality pool, plus a 24-hour fitness centre with outdoor spinning and a sea-view pavilion for yoga or stretching.

Curated experiences include Delos and Rhenia day trips from the southern coast, helicopter sightseeing, a guided Best of Mykonos town walk with stops such as the lighthouse, Kalafatis Beach, and Ano Mera, and horseback riding toward Fokos Beach.

Event capacity is framed up to about 200 guests for outdoor restaurant venues, with a hillside chapel overlooking the beach for more intimate wedding ceremonies before a reception at Álef.

For travelers who want island context beyond the hotel gate, Deep Arrival’s things to do in Mykonos guide remains the practical planning bridge for beaches, town nights, and day-trip choices once the room is booked.

Guests pairing Mykonos with mainland Greece can use the brand’s stated Athens transfer windows: about three hours by boat, 30 minutes by plane, or 20 minutes by helicopter, with Four Seasons-organized transfers between Mykonos and Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens.

Deep Arrival’s things to do in Athens guide helps travelers who are building that two-city luxury loop rather than a pure Cyclades island hop.

Cruise visitors who only want a short Mykonos or multi-island sample can still compare a hotel stay against a shorter sailing using Deep Arrival’s four-day Greek island cruise from Athens page, which is a different product class but a common planning alternative when hotel rates or flight schedules do not fit.

Who should book now and what still needs a direct rate check

The open notice is most useful for travelers who already want a full-service Mykonos luxury hotel with private-beach access and brand-level service, not for shoppers who only need a town room for nightlife.

A Kalo Livadi base trades some walk-to-town convenience for bay seclusion, so the shuttle or private transfer plan is part of the stay product rather than an optional extra for guests who want Chora after dark.

Rates, blackout dates, minimum stays, and villa categories are not fixed in the open release, so the traveler decision still ends at the live booking path for exact nights, cancellation rules, and suite versus villa inventory.

Families and multi-generational groups should confirm which keys include plunge pools, connecting options, and spa access before assuming every room type matches the marketing collage.

Wedding and event planners get useful capacity hints from the release, but still need a dated proposal for the chapel, outdoor restaurant areas, and indoor private spaces.

Travelers chasing shoulder-season value should ask whether inaugural summer rates differ from later 2026 dates and whether breakfast, beach service, or experience credits are included, because the open notice is not a sale circular.

Anyone building a dual-city Greece itinerary should price Mykonos nights and Athens Astir Palace nights as one logistics package, including transfer mode, luggage, and whether a same-day boat or flight connection fits arrival times.

Finally, treat Porto Heli as a future brand note only. It does not create a third bookable Four Seasons Greece hotel for 2026 summer planning.

The clean next step is to pick Mykonos dates, open the live Four Seasons booking path, and only then decide whether the bay hotel, a town hotel, or a short island cruise better matches how much time you will spend in Chora versus on the water.

If your trip is mainly Athens museums and a single Mykonos day, a dual-hotel Four Seasons package may be more hotel than you need, and a lighter island plan can still use the open notice only as market context.
