What makes Mykonos Blu special?

Mykonos Blu is the family-friendly beach resort of the top tier, and it ranks seventh for its setting and its rare welcome for children. A Grecotel property on fashionable Psarou Beach, it is laid out as a village of about 102 whitewashed Cycladic bungalows, suites and villas cascading toward the sea, many with private pools or jacuzzis. Its position on Psarou, one of the island's most stylish beaches with celebrated beach clubs, gives guests direct access to the sand and the scene. A two-level infinity pool over the sea is the centrepiece, and the Elixir spa handles wellness. What sets Mykonos Blu apart from most Mykonos luxury hotels is that it genuinely caters to families, with children's facilities, kids' menus and babysitting, in a market where many properties are adults-oriented boutiques. Dining runs through Aegean Poets and the poolside L'Archipel, with the Delos Lounge Bar for drinks. For families and couples who want a beachfront Cycladic resort on a fashionable beach, rather than a cliff or hill hotel, Mykonos Blu is a strong fit.

Which room should you book?

Mykonos Blu's roughly 102 keys are whitewashed bungalows, suites and villas spread down the hillside toward Psarou Beach, and the choice depends on the view and whether you want a private pool. Entry bungalows deliver the Cycladic style and garden or sea views and use the main infinity pool, while higher categories and villas add private pools or jacuzzis and better positions over the water, which suit couples wanting privacy or families wanting their own space. The villas are the most generous. Because the resort steps down toward the beach, sea-view categories command the best outlook, so confirm the aspect when booking. Families should look at the larger suites and villas for room to spread out, and note the resort's children's facilities. The design throughout is Grecotel's polished Cycladic bungalow style, whitewashed and bright. For the fullest use of Psarou Beach and the sea views, a higher sea-view category or a pool villa rewards the stay, though all guests share the infinity pool and beach access.

Where should you eat and drink?

Dining runs through Aegean Poets, the resort's a la carte restaurant with a seafood focus and sea views, and L'Archipel, a poolside brasserie for more relaxed daytime meals, with the Delos Lounge Bar handling cocktails and sunset drinks. The range covers everything from a refined dinner to casual family lunches, which fits the resort's mixed clientele of couples and families. There is no Michelin star, as Mykonos is outside the guide's coverage, so expect polished resort dining rather than a formal tasting menu. Because Mykonos Blu sits on Psarou Beach, guests also have the beach's celebrated clubs and tavernas within a short walk, giving plenty of variety without leaving the area, and the fashionable Psarou scene is part of the appeal. Mykonos Town is a short drive for a wider night out, and the resort arranges transport and reservations. For families who value flexible, on-site dining and couples who want beach-club options close at hand, the resort's range and its Psarou location work well together.

What are the pools and beach like?

Mykonos Blu's setting on Psarou Beach is its defining asset, giving guests direct access to one of the island's most fashionable stretches of sand, with its celebrated beach clubs close by, a rarity among Mykonos luxury hotels that mostly lack their own beach. The centrepiece pool is a two-level infinity pool that appears to spill toward the sea, the heart of the daytime scene, and many bungalows and villas add private pools or jacuzzis for guests wanting their own water. The Elixir spa provides treatments, a sauna and fitness facilities for wellness time. The beachfront position delivers sea views and sunsets, and the calm, upscale Psarou setting suits both families and couples. For families in particular, having safe beach access and pools on site, plus children's facilities, is a major practical advantage over the cliff and hill hotels. Guests who want to combine a fashionable beach, a striking infinity pool and the option of a private pool will find Mykonos Blu well equipped.

Where is Mykonos Blu, and how do you get there?

Mykonos Blu occupies its own section of Psarou Beach on the south coast, one of the island's most fashionable and upscale beach areas, roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive from Mykonos Town and about the same from Mykonos Airport and the ferry ports. That places it on a prime beach while keeping the town and transport quick to reach, a good balance for a beach resort. Psarou itself is known for its celebrated beach clubs and calm, clear water, and it draws a stylish crowd. The resort arranges transfers, and guests typically use a car or the resort's transport for trips into town or to other beaches, though the beachfront setting and full facilities mean many happily spend days on site. For families and couples who want to be directly on a fashionable beach with pools and dining at hand, yet still close to Mykonos Town, the Psarou location combines a prime beachfront with reasonable convenience, setting it apart from the more remote hilltop hotels.

What do guests consistently say?

Guests consistently value Mykonos Blu for its Psarou Beach location and its family-friendliness, and families in particular praise it as one of the few Mykonos luxury hotels genuinely set up for children, with facilities and a beach that make it workable. The two-level infinity pool and the sea views draw warm marks, as does the direct access to fashionable Psarou and its beach clubs. The Cycladic bungalow design is appreciated for its bright, classic island style. Couples enjoy the private-pool bungalows and villas. Service and the Grecotel resort standards are generally well regarded. The main caveats in guest accounts are that the resort scale and family focus make it busier and less intimate than the adults-only boutiques, that Psarou's popularity brings crowds in peak season, and that pricing is high. Some couples seeking calm note the family presence. Overall, guests frame Mykonos Blu as a strong beachfront resort, especially for families, on one of the island's best beaches.

Honest cons: who should skip it?

Skip Mykonos Blu if you want an intimate, adults-only boutique or the iconic cliffside look, because it is a family-friendly beach resort with a bungalow-village layout, busier and more mixed in clientele than the quiet couples' hotels. Travellers seeking calm and romance may prefer Katikies, Bill and Coo or Kalesma in this ranking. Psarou is fashionable but popular, so the beach and area can be crowded in peak season. Rates are high, typically from around 450 euro and climbing in summer, particularly for sea-view and pool categories. Guests who want to be walkable to Mykonos Town's nightlife will find it a short drive away rather than at the doorstep. The resort scale means a less personal feel than a small boutique. But for families who need a real beach, pools and children's facilities, and for couples who want a fashionable beachfront resort with private-pool bungalows, Mykonos Blu is one of the strongest beach options in this ranking, and its Psarou setting is a decisive draw.
