As if Mykonos wasn’t desirable enough, a five-star boutique property is set to open on the Greek island’s celeb favourite Psarou beach.
Kensho Psarou has just 32 individually furnished luxury rooms and suites, with each of the latter boasting a private Jacuzzi or plunge pool with sea views.
The Lounge restaurant by the beach offers upscale modern Mediterranean cuisine with Greek, Japanese and Peruvian influences, while the bar serves signature cocktails and sunsets.
For pampering, the Beach Spa has three decadent menus featuring Hollywood-inspired LED masks, oxygen-infused treatments and “quartz sand technology” for residents, plus a special one for yacht owners visiting the beach by sea.
Opening date is June 30 and rates start at an A-lister €750 per night. kenshomykonos.com
