Nestled beautifully between charming beaches on the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, you’ll find Kensho Ornos, a sophisticated sanctuary to reward your senses
As soon as you’re welcomed into the lobby of Kensho Ornos, a sense of peacefulness immediately washes over you. Cycladic influences are apparent with white-washed walls, natural stone and weathered wood on display. However, pulling your gaze back outside are the unmated sea views of Ornos Bay.
The traditional architecture throughout the hotel blends nature with luxury and encourages harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces. Besides the Zen Rooms, which focus on inner peace and quietness, each of Kensho Orno’s 35 rooms features stunning sea or mountain vistas. Time seems to vanish as you soak in your private jacuzzi or plunge pool and watch the sunset colours give way to star-filled evenings.
When you’re ready to venture out, a quick chat with the 24-hour concierge service will provide you with local secrets to make the most of your time on the bustling island of Mykonos. Cosy cafes, energetic beach clubs and unique shops await just beyond the hotel’s walls; however, by night, you’ll be back sipping refreshing cocktails on the oversized rooftop jacuzzi.
