Authenticity

Tharroe of Mykonos is a luxury hotel that captures the essence of Mykonian culture through its blend of classic Cycladic architecture and an impressive collection of European art and antiques. Built in 1997 and renovated in 2008, the hotel's design honors the region's traditional whitewashed, flat-roofed buildings. Its hilltop location was once the observatory of the 16th-century pirate Hairedin Barbarossa, a historical detail that lends its name to the property's Barbarossa Mykonian Restaurant and Bar. The hotel's commitment to authenticity is also displayed in its frequent hosting of art exhibits and concerts and the presence of antique doors, tables, desks, and art and sculptures throughout the property.

Location

Perched atop a hill, Tharroe of Mykonos offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, iconic windmills, and the old town of Mykonos. While the hotel provides an escape from the bustle, it remains conveniently close to the heart of Mykonos town, about a 20-minute walk downhill (just note the return walk is uphill). The historic windmills and charming Little Venice area, plus Ornos Beach, are all about a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk from the hotel, and another beach, Megali Ammos, is just a 7-minute drive. The hotel's elevated position ensures a quiet atmosphere.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms at Tharroe of Mykonos are designed to be simple yet elegant, featuring bright white walls, bedding, curtains, and furniture complemented by natural wood or tiled floors. The bathrooms have showers, some with hydro-massage jets, and many include bathtubs or Jacuzzis. Travelers will appreciate the comfortable beds with premium Egyptian cotton linens and a pillow menu for a more personalized sleeping experience. Natural light floods the rooms through floor-to-ceiling windows leading to private balconies or terraces with outdoor furniture and potted flowers.

Amenities

The hotel's outdoor amenities are a true standout, with its unheated pool and a hot tub with panoramic views, ideal for soaking in the island's beauty. The pool area, equipped with a sun deck and lounge seating, might get breezy due to its hilltop location, but it still offers a refreshing escape with the Colors of the Sunset bar nearby for drinks and snacks. The Calypso Spa provides beauty treatments, wellness therapies, and a fitness center, steam room, and sauna. Travelers with limited mobility should request a ground-floor room or suite.
