Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 22 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Santa Marina, A Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos rewards guests who want a self-contained resort experience rather than easy access to Mykonos Town's nightlife. The hotel occupies a secluded peninsula with its own private sandy beach and two infinity pools looking out to sea. Elais restaurant serves refined Greek cuisine, and the wellness centre includes a sauna and steam bath. Guests wanting more can arrange helicopter, yacht or speedboat transfers directly through the hotel. The trade-off is distance: at 2.5 miles from Mykonos town, the setting can feel remote, and the more exclusive services come at extra cost.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Mykonos is 9.2.
- The resort occupies its own peninsula, giving guests a quieter, more private stretch of sand than beaches closer to town, ideal for those seeking seclusion without leaving Mykonos.
- The two infinity pools overlook the Aegean, creating a visual continuity between pool and sea that suits both quiet mornings and sunset drinks.
- Mykonos town, with its shopping and nightlife, sits roughly 2.5 miles away, so guests wanting to walk into town regularly will need a taxi or the free shuttle.
- The peninsula setting that ensures privacy also means the resort is somewhat removed from the island's central activity, better suited to guests prioritizing calm over constant access to town.
