Kalesma may abide by Mykonos’ sun-soaked, white-washed Cycladic aesthetic, but the focus at this recently opened retreat is the relaxing VIP life. With 25 suites and two villas – all with private terraces and pools with unobstructed sea views – the hotel masters this concept through exclusive offerings like personal-shopping assistance and insider info (and access) to some of the island’s best beaches and restaurants. On the hotel premises, a similar splendour can be savoured thanks to some modern flair with room interiors by Vangelis Bonios, furniture from Rick Owens and clever craftsmanship from K-Studio.
