Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort
Five-star barefoot luxury
This sprawling waterfront resort is an excellent choice for a luxurious beach and pool break.
This picturesque retreat's setting, overlooking Ayios Yiannis Beach – known as Shirley Valentine beach after the movie that was filmed there – and the sacred island of Delos, is one of the best. As a member of 'Small Luxury Hotels of the World' personalised service is an integral part of the ethos of the resort. Attendants are on hand to cater for your every need, allowing you to laze back on comfortable loungers under shady parasols, and to keep the peace, you won't find any motorised watersports on this part of the beach.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Food & drink
Even the dining experience here is an opulent one. Nama has panoramic sea views in clean and crisp al fresco surroundings. All herbs are sourced from the hotel garden and produce is local. The wine list is extensive and there’s something to accompany every dish. The cool, minimalist Bolla Bar has a spectacular outdoor terrace that's the perfect spot for drinks before a night out in Mykonos Town. Be sure to order a mouthwatering cocktail from one of the mixologists and sunset and take a peek over to Delos through the bar's telesccope.
In hues of white and sea blue, the airy, spaicous and light-filled Nama is the hotel's restaurant. The cusine focus is on contemporary Greek tastes and local produce and there's both indoor and al fresco seating. You can pair wines from the Mykonos Grand's Wine Cellar with the mouthwatering dishes. We love the minimal style and setting of the beautiful Bolla Bar, a calm and fresh space with stunning views over the sea. From this elevated spot, you can check out the neighbouring island of Delos with its incredible ancient ruins using the telescope out on the terrace. There's also a Pool Bar meaning you don't have to stray too far to get a refreshing signature cocktail or a glass of wine.
Nama not only offers some delicious contemporary Greek cuisine, but also breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the island of Delos.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
