Luxury Collection Unveils Complete Redesign of Mykonos' Santa Marina Resort & Villas

Led by Silvina Macipe Krontira of the Greece-based SMK Interiors, the resort's renovation will feature a contemporary yet timeless design complementing the majestic views over the Mediterranean Sea. The redesigned guest accommodations, public spaces and restaurants of Santa Marina reflects Starwood's larger strategy to invest in the restoration of its most celebrated Luxury Collection hotels and resorts in Europe.

“Mykonos remains one of the world's most mesmerizing destinations, and we are thrilled to unveil the redesign of Santa Marina, perfectly poised to cater to a new generation of luxury travellers,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection, St. Regis and W Hotels Worldwide. “That Greece is The Luxury Collection brand's third largest market globally is a clear indication that the country's rich culture, distinctive heritage and indigenous treasures make it a ‘must' for the most discerning travellers.”

Five minutes from Mykonos town, Santa Marina sits on a private and revitalised beach, offering captivating panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, Ornos Bay and nearby islands. The resort has 100 guest rooms and suites, including some with a private pool, all featuring a private balcony and picturesque sea views. Exclusive villas sit atop the hillside amid lush gardens where discerning travellers may enjoy butler service.

Krontira's elegant interpretation of the resort blends the cosmopolitan style of Mykonos with the island's welcoming warmth, complete with state-of-the-art technology and luxury amenities. The resort's newly designed rooms and suites will feature natural materials such as teak wood and linen fabrics alongside mesmerising panoramic sea views.

The complete redesign of the public spaces of Santa Marina reflects a chic natural decor and muted tones that are inspired by its coastal environment and complements the crisp white interiors of the resort. Indigenous Cycladic design accents blend seamlessly throughout the resort, from the lobby to the exclusive private villas.

Unveiled last year, the new seafront BAYVIEW Beach Restaurant & Bar is the lifestyle authority in Mykonos where guests can enjoy fine dining with Mediterranean-fusion cuisine inspired by local seafood and Japanese influences whilst being spoilt by gorgeous sea views from the restaurant's stunning honeyed wood terrace.
The transformation of this captivating resort complements the extensive guest experiences that have made Santa Marina a popular summer escape in Mykonos. The resorts features Lotus Spa, which provides guests with complete relaxation and reinvigoration, three swimming pools, as well as a Children's Club, sporting facilities and water recreational activities.
