Hideaways' Review
Luxurious accommodations, unparalleled service, spectacular views, and gourmet cuisine are the hallmarks of the lifestyle at the very chic Santa Marina Resort & Villas. Sequestered away on the mythical island of Mykonos, the resort encompasses a collection of luxurious and newly renovated rooms and suites bearing the signature touches of well-known Greek architect/designer Veta Stefanidou Tsoukala, including hand-painted furnishings, eclectic artwork, and brightly cheerful fabrics. No comfort is ignored, from the Luxury Collection bedding and sumptuous marble bathrooms to newly upgraded electronics. Private balconies and terraces overlook the Aegean, tiled floors are comfortably cool, and expansive windows open to sea breezes. Small wonder that Santa Marina continues to attract wealthy international jetsetters including Greek film stars, the Royal Family of Morocco, and such well-known celebrities as Sharon Stone, Harrison Ford, and Mel Gibson.
As it sits perched atop a private peninsula overlooking dazzling Ornos Bay, Santa Marina's natural amphitheater setting ensures complete privacy and undisturbed views of the Aegean. Here, guests relax and rejuvenate in the skilled hands of a warm and personable staff while soaking up the sun on the resort's sandy private beach, taking a refreshing dip in one of two infinity-edge pools overlooking the crystal blue sea, and feasting on gourmet Mediterranean cuisine served with a twist—fresh organic fruits, herbs, and vegetables grown right on Santa Marina's own farm. Though smart and sexy, the resort also is warm and welcoming toward families who appreciate its spacious two- to four-bedroom villas with kitchens and private pools, each so complete you and your gang might never want to leave. But eventually, you'll be drawn outside by the siren song of seawater like liquid glass, mythical offshore islands, and the nearby storybook town of Mykonos. |
