From the very first sketches, Deos Mykonos was designed with a deep respect for heritage, community, and the surrounding Aegean landscape. Perched elegantly above the whitewashed villas of Mykonos Town, the hotel’s modern Cycladic architecture merges softly into the natural terrain. From its elevated position, cinematic views stretch from the historic 16th-century windmills across the shimmering sea to the neighbouring islands of Syros, Tinos, and the sacred Delos. Since its inception, Deos Mykonos has led a meaningful effort to preserve the island’s cultural heart, notably its generous contributions towards the restoration of the historic Panagia Tourliani Church and its parish residence.

This ancient monastery complex, established in 1542, is one of the island’s most important spiritual landmarks. Located in the charming inland village of Ano Mera, it remains a cherished centre of faith and community for locals, offering a serene contrast to the island’s more cosmopolitan areas. The monastery is famed for its distinctive Cycladic architecture and striking bell tower — and particularly for its magnificent wooden iconostasis, crafted by Florentine artists in the 18th century. This rare masterpiece makes it a pivotal site of cultural and religious heritage.
The team at Deos approached the restoration project with exacting care, ensuring that every historical detail of the building was thoughtfully revived. Their commitment ensures this ancient site remains a vibrant experience for both locals and visitors for generations to come.

Even their linen and mattress reuse programme, which donates to monasteries and prisons across Greece, reflects this holistic view of responsible practices.
Visiting Deos Mykonos offers a memorable experience, modelling how purposeful luxury can honour the past through thoughtful design while actively shaping a more sustainable future.
