Kensho Boutique Hotel & Suites ★★★★★

‘Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.’
-Plato

Music and dance are such ancient aspects of Greek culture that they were even referred to by authors such as Plato and Aristotle. Despite differing styles, interpretations and choreography, the primary functions of dance remain fulfilled, and the magnificent island of Mykonos is no exception, with dance opportunities ranging from a showcase of the oldest tradition to a buzzing modern nightlife. Kensho Boutique Hotel & Suites, too, combines the time-worn with the contemporary: its typical Cycladic architecture and emphasis on nature, demonstrated through the use of traditional and natural materials, as well as the views of the landscape from the suites, is fused together with the uniquely modern décor than runs throughout the rooms, thanks to designers such as Kenneth Cobonpue and Patricia Urquiola.

Kensho Boutique Hotel & Suites embraces the energy, excitement, romance and rejuvenation brought through dance, but also embodies the soothing and calming effects of swaying to a slower tune. Its ideal location, overlooking the nearby Ornos Beach, means that guests can relax to the rhythm of the gentle ebb and flow of the waves. And, yet, if they want to step up the beat, it’s a simple side-step over to the centre, restaurants, and shops for a livelier experience.

Of course, everyone dances to their own tune and, so, each evening can be rounded off with a romantic dinner at the hotel’s outstanding restaurant or an intimate experience at the spa, which offers a plethora of treatments and even a chance to indulge in the enlightening effects of a hammam. No matter which steps you choose, “it takes two to tango”, and Kensho Boutique Hotel & Suites promises to be the perfect partner.
