First Impressions: Having opened only last summer, Katikies Mykonos still feels like a shiny, new toy. The exteriors are bright white and angular, punctuated by pops of pink bougainvillea and lush green plants. Wandering up the steps to reception, I was greeted by immaculately dressed staff in all-white ensembles, while a turquoise infinity pool winks at me to my right and a trendy-looking taverna looms above.

The facts: The group’s first property outside of Santorini, Katikies Mykonos features 35 rooms and suites in seven categories, with all but three featuring an outdoor swimming pool or whirlpool bath. Rooms are gorgeously designed with rose gold metal accents and rich blue fabrics throughout. My bathroom was also a highlight, featuring a statement cobalt-blue sink with copper tap, a glorious waterfall shower and bath, and deliciously scented Bvlgari products. Peeling yourself away from your room, you’ll find a spa with three treatment rooms, a fitness centre, a boutique and two infinity pools. The pool I’d ogled earlier was ideal for early-morning dips, while the second – residing proudly at the top of the property – exuded beach club vibes, with tropical house music and sunloungers dotted beneath palm trees. When you get hungry, head to Seltz restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and the best cappuccinos) or fine-dining dinner spot Mikrasia.
