About BILL&COO Hotels Mykonos
Established in 2006, Bill&Coo Hotels Mykonos is a collection of exclusive suites and villas located on the eastern coast of the Cyclades Island. The hotel boasts a unique blend of minimalist architecture and stunning sunset views. The first property on the edge of Mykonos town, BILL&COO, was developed to offer an alternative Mykonos experience for guests seeking individuality and relaxation in an island sanctuary where every guest is welcomed home by a team of in-the-know island insiders. The 32 suites are complemented by three BILL&COO Villas, offering even more seclusion, private pools, fragrant gardens and sea and sunset views. The three one-bedroom villas can be booked individually or combined into a standalone three-bedroom villa.

In 2016, the adults-only The Coast opened on Agios Ioannis beach, with 15 elegant suites looking over the Aegean Sea, the sacred island of Delos and the picturesque chapel of St John, while in 2023 10 new, luxurious Grand Coastal Suites with a private pool were added. Also available are 2 Coastal Villas of 2 and 4 bedrooms respectively.

In both locations, guests can enjoy haute cuisine at the group’s restaurants, including the distinguished Beefbar Mykonos. Facilities also include a Valmont Spa, an on-site chapel, a beach club, a fully equipped gym, cold plunge pools, heated saunas and steam baths.
