Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 22 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Myconian Avaton, a Member of Design Hotels is suited to guests who want traditional Cycladic architecture paired with a proper thalassotherapy programme, just steps from Elia Beach. Rooms carry sea views throughout, and the property offers two outdoor pools for those who prefer not to walk down to the sand. Airport and car transfer assistance is provided free of charge. Being outside Mykonos Town means a hire car is advisable for exploring beyond the immediate area, and the breakfast, while focused on local produce, offers a more limited variety than some larger resorts.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Mykonos is 9.2.
- Elia Beach's sandy shoreline is reachable within a short walk, offering easy access to one of Mykonos's calmer, less crowded coastal stretches without needing transport.
- The dedicated thalassotherapy centre provides seawater-based treatments, a feature not commonly found at other Mykonos properties, appealing to guests seeking recovery or relaxation alongside their stay.
- Mykonos Town's shops, restaurants and nightlife sit about 10 km away, meaning guests seeking constant urban buzz will need to plan transport for evenings out.
- Breakfast emphasizes Greek yogurt, organic honey and Mykonian specialties, which suits those wanting authentic local flavors but may feel less varied to guests expecting extensive international buffet options.
