Vibrant Mykonos and tranquil Santorini are the yin and yang of the Aegean Sea. With Domes, you can experience both…
From their wine to their weather, the Greeks know a thing or two about a life well lived. Their philosophy of Ef-zeen, the Greek concept of “the good life”, is at the core of what lifestyle hospitality group Domes is all about, from Makris Athens, its exquisite new fine dining establishment, to 91 Athens Riviera, an opulent members’ club with luxury pod accommodations for visitors. As for Domes’ hotels, visitors are afforded the luxury to explore and unwind from a position of five-star indulgence in prime spots throughout Greece and Portugal. So, if you want a slice of the good life for yourself, here are two of the latest Domes resorts to get your trip planning underway.
Domes Noruz Mykonos
Quiet luxury and a hedonistic-meets-holistic philosophy in Mykonos
The location: This hotel offers the best of both worlds: the gorgeous golden sands at Agios Stefanos beach are on your doorstep, and the nightlife of Mykonos Town and Chora are just a 15-minute taxi ride away. Plus, the airport is only a ten-minute drive, meaning you shouldn’t need to rush for your flight come home time.
The clientele: An adults-only crowd of couples and small groups looking for somewhere memorable, while refusing to compromise on relaxation.
The rooms: All of the 38 suites come with charming outdoor areas, whether that’s a private furnished balcony, terrace or photogenic garden. Even better – a number of them have a private pool or Jacuzzi. Each suite gives you the option of a sea view or a pretty hillside outlook.

Fabulous food: Noruz, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, is a destination in its own right, serving modern Greek dishes highlighting fresh fish and seafood. You’ll enjoy fresh ceviche, lobster linguine and squid ink risotto – to name but a few. The complimentary brunch, served until 1pm, is excellent for slow mornings and Ouzo-affected heads.
Style notes: With its whitewashed exteriors and crisp, clean lines, Domes’ aesthetic here embraces the quintessential Greek island feel. Inside, rooms use a mix of rattan, natural wood and cool stone to create a paired back yet elegant environment that’s like a mini spa for your soul. The pool’s overwater day-beds make for the ultimate Instagram shot.
Don’t miss: The signature award-winning cocktails and regular poolside DJ sets to get in the mood for Mykonos’ bars and clubs. The Ying to the hedonist Yang is a state-of-the-art wellness zone, including the Signature Soma Spa, an open-air gym and sunset yoga sessions.

Domes Novos Santorini
Santorini’s newest five-star makes its dazzling debut
The location: Situated five minutes from Oia on the northwestern coastline of Santorini, this newcomer offers the Santorini sunset views you’ve been dreaming of: uninterrupted Aegean Sea and picturesque local vineyards with ice-white architecture trickling down to the shoreline. The iconic tourist town of Oia is close enough to wander yet far enough to promise total tranquility. The journey to two excellent beaches, Ammoudi Bay and Paralia Katharos Beach, requires no effort, either.
The clientele: Young couples with love on their minds – plus families who pride themselves on the finer things, such as Domes’ own KiEPOS kids club run to Ofsted standards.
The rooms: The boutique-sized property has 50 spacious suites and two knock-out villas, each with their own private pool.

Don’t miss: The Soma spa with its indoor pool, tech-tastic gym and yoga and meditation classes in the grapevine gardens. Plus, there’s the rooftop garden for front-row seats to those once-in-a-lifetime sunsets.
Fabulous food: The rooftop restaurant, Makirs, is helmed by Petros Dimas, the Athens-raised chef with Michelin credentials. The menu of elevated Greek dishes is inspired by the island and Dimas’ love of seasonal ingredients and a farm-to-table philosophy.
Style notes: This stunning complex was inspired by the Santorini landscape and thus adopts a rounded Cycladic look created with local sustainable materials such as volcanic stone and blonde oak. The interiors follow a grounding neutral palette featuring plenty of terracotta, fresh whites and ashy greys.
