Mykonos Blu – harmonious blend of white and blu

Attention to detail at Mykonos Blu is spectacular, characterized by a minimalistic style with modern touches and refined service. We arrived on Mykonos just before noon and were transferred with the hotel’s Porsche Cayenne directly to the resort.

At the back seat of the car there was a welcome basket filled with refreshing towels, Evian water, sparkling water and some fresh fruit.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the hotel’s Guest Relations Manager Vasiliki Kapsioti who escorted us to the main lobby. The check – in process is very personalized and relaxing, exactly how it should be when you arrive to a beautiful resort destination. We were offered a selection of fresh fruit juices to choose from.

The suite is a mix of traditional and contemporary design, spacious and dominated by white. The walls are thick and represent the traditional Cycladic architecture.

On the far end of the suite, a few steps led right into the bathtub. There is also a separate shower cabin in the room.

Lunch by the pool

There are a number of dining options available at the resort. During lunch guests may enjoy the contemporary seafood and Mediterranean cuisine at the L’ Archipel brasserie overlooking Psarou beach.

We tried a few creations: fish carpaccio with avocado and finely sliced cucumber, octopus with fava, rocket leaves and capers and small Greek fish which is usually fried and a popular dish which can be found in tavernas. It was beautifully presented and served with baby potatoes and sauce.

In the afternoon Marissa and I took a walk down the beach to the renowned Nammos restaurant. The place was empty as it was October and nearly end of the season. In the summer it is the hotspot of the island.

Inside the restaurant

 

It is a buffet breakfast with a dedicated Cretan corner like in other Grecotel properties serving traditional Greek delicacies and specialties from the company’s Agreco Farm in Crete.

Interiors

I fell in love with the hotel’s interiors, cushioned couches, ample space, the Greek island blend of white and blue and the small little details that make Mykonos Blu a true oasis.
