Overview

The San Marco is a luxury hotel and villa complex on Houlakia Bay that combines Cycladic minimalism with contemporary comfort. Designed for guests seeking both rest and effortless style, the property spreads across a hillside above the Aegean and offers a variety of accommodation types from streamlined hotel rooms to larger one and two-bedroom villas with private pools. With a boutique spa, a sea-gazing main pool and two restaurants providing a complete holiday experience. Service is personalised and attentive, with staff who learn guests’ preferences to ensure each stay is straightforward and well looked after.

Location

Positioned on Houlakia Bay and just over four kilometres from Mykonos Town, San Marco provides easy access to the island’s attractions while maintaining a calm coastal setting. The elevated site gives many rooms and villas panoramic views over the Aegean and the island horizon; the hotel sits above the waterline so guests can enjoy sea vistas while remaining within a short drive of the cafés, shops and nightlife of Mykonos Town. Complimentary shuttle service runs between the resort and town, and the hotel can arrange transfers, vehicle hire and private yacht or aircraft charters on request for guests planning excursions beyond the immediate area.

Facilities

San Marco presents a comprehensive range of resort facilities designed to be a one-stop retreat. The property features a full-size sea-water swimming pool with sunbeds and parasols and a poolside bar serving food and drinks, a gymnasium equipped for regular workouts and a conference centre suitable for meetings and events. There is a small chapel on site for wedding ceremonies, parking, and Wi-Fi across the property. The boutique spa operates a schedule of treatments and therapies including massages, facials, hammam steam baths and hair and nail services, and there is 24-hour reception and concierge to assist with bookings, tours and bespoke arrangements.

Room

Rooms and suites at San Marco are designed with the island’s whitewashed aesthetic in mind, combining bright, open interiors and simple Cycladic furniture with modern conveniences. Classic Garden View and Deluxe Sea View rooms offer private balconies or terraces and thoughtful in-room amenities such as air conditioning, satellite television, a mini fridge and a safe. Larger suites, including junior sea view and executive sea view options, provide living areas with built-in sofas that can accommodate extra guests and terraces that frame the Aegean; honeymoon and loft maisonette suites offer more generous sitting areas and private verandas for two or families. Villas include private terraces and pools, kitchen facilities in the two-bedroom options and layouts that make them feel like a contemporary island residence.

Sports & Entertainment

The resort caters to guests who want to keep active and those who prefer low-key recreation. The on-site gym enables fitness routines while the sea-water pool and direct proximity to the Aegean meet the needs of swimmers and sun-loungers alike. Evenings by the pool often feature gentle music and a relaxed atmosphere suitable for families and adults; for guests seeking the island’s livelier options, Mykonos Town is a short journey away.

Dining & Bars

San Marco offers two restaurants with different dining styles and a pool bar that serves an extensive casual menu. Pythari presents Mediterranean and Greek-inspired dishes made with seasonal ingredients and freshly caught fish in a relaxed setting where guests can choose from salads, pastas, sandwiches and more throughout the day. Veranda is the hotel’s fine-dining option, positioned to make the most of the sunset views and crafted to provide a refined dinner experience without pretension. The Pool Bar & Lounge brings the main restaurant’s menu poolside and provides a selection of juices, smoothies and signature cocktails alongside light meals and desserts, with in-room dining available around the clock from the hotel’s 24-hour room service.
