Once home to Greek gods and a favorite destination of Jackie Kennedy as well as artists, poets, designers and actors, Mykonos isn't new to the limelight. But the whole story of the island is rarely told: enter Kalesma. With 25 suites and two villas, the hotel opens on April 29 to introduce a luxury experience that balances fun and privacy with genuine insider knowledge of off-the-beaten-path sites.
The seasoned trio behind the project - who also established Athens hotspots Sea Spice, Pere and Ubu - are all local to the island, and the resort will share a modern expression of Mykonian traditions. Translating to "invite" or "calling," Kalesma welcomes guests to become a part of the island's community.
