Just got back from an incredible stay at Mykonos Waves Beach Hotel & Suites with my friends, and honestly, I’m already missing it. Fillippa and her whole crew made us feel so welcome—it was like crashing at a good friend’s place, not just a hotel. We booked a three-bedroom suite with a hot tub, and the place was spotless and super roomy. There were always sunbeds available, too, which was a nice bonus. Getting around was a breeze. The bus stop is just a short two-minute walk away, and tickets are only €2 each way. The hotel even arranged a complimentary ride into town for us, thanks to the ever-cheerful George. Ornos beach is about a ten-minute stroll, lined with great restaurants. If you’re a foodie—or just get hungry at odd hours—there are two 24-hour bakeries nearby that won’t break the bank, plus even more places to eat and a bar, all within a five-minute walk. Mykonos town itself is just a quick five-minute drive, packed with bars and restaurants. Our top pick? D’Angelo, which Fillippa suggested (she has great taste). We did take a boat trip, but here’s a tip: listen to Fillippa. We ignored her advice and went to the Northside, which turned out to be crazy windy. The South would’ve been much better! If you want a place that feels like home on Mykonos, I can’t recommend Mykonos Waves enough.
