MYKONOS BLU, PSAROU
There are plenty of bouji hotels on Mykonos that are so generically glamorous they could be anywhere. This isn’t one of them. The Mykonos
Blu serves up the perfect combination of local and luxury, and has a laid-back, waftingaround-in-a-white-cottonkaftan boho vibe, which feels authentic on the island. A pathway down the rock face leads to Psarou beach, where the relaxed and friendly hotel staff will bring you cold beers and delicious broad bean hummus with pitta bread. It’s right next to Nammos, one of Mykonos’s hottest beach-party spots, so you can walk or swim to the action and escape back to the sanctuary of Blu when the Euro-pop gets too much. The rooms are all Grecian white and blue – simple, and deliciously cool. Splash out on a private villa with your own small pool and hot tub that overlooks the bay so you can watch the super-yachts park up. We loved returning to Mykonos Blu after a hot night exploring the old town for an ill-advised ouzo nightcap while swinging in a hammock under the stars. mykonosblu.com. Doubles from £178, B&B. Easyjet has return flights to Mykonos from London from around £90
