Koukoumi Vegan Boutique Hotel

What an incredible gem of a hotel! Before we arrived we were in communication with the hotel for various arrangements and they responded to every email promptly and efficiently. We arrived to welcome drinks and very hospitable staff after a delayed and tiring journey. I was blown away by the rooms which were spacious, airy, clean and modern. The beddimg was extremely comfortable. The food here blew me away. The breakfast buffet was varied each day and had so much choice! Savoury options like rice, chickpeas, tofu scramble, vegetables. Sweet options like cakes and pastries. Cereals, nuts, jams, spreads, chia pudding and overnight oats. Anything you could think of, they had it. Everything was absolutely delicious. Lunch and dinner was absolutely delicious too. Very creative and high end. The Velvet Cloud dessert is a masterpiece! Coffees were delicious, as was the homemade red berry tea which I couldn't get enough of! The waitors and bar staff were helpful, and very efficient. You never had to wait long for a drink and they cleaned up after you very quickly. Lunch and dinner courses took a little while to be bought out but I figured this was due to the fact that all food was cooked to order and from scratch where possible (no pre prepped oven food). The quality of each dish which came out justified the time we had to wait (around 20 mins to half an hour in some cases). The poolside was kept clean and well maintained with a variety of beds to use - padded flat mattresses to seated sun loungers. There was always choice of a space or two whilst we were there so it never got full and stayed that way all day. The layout of the hotel was perfect! Small enough that you could get to your room within 20 seconds from the pool/restaurant. It was so clean and minimalist whilst maintaining greek decor. The views from the hotel were stunning at sunrise and sunset. We attended with our 4 year old and they were great at accomodating her child friendly food options. Location was great! 15 minute walk away from the local town centre of Ano Mera. Supermarket and bakery just 3 minutes away, and a 15 minute taxi ride from Old Town. The whole experience felt high end, attentive, luxurious but calm and laid back. We loved every minute of our stay and definitely want to return.

“5 stars honeymoon”

We decided to spend our honeymoon with Koukoumi and it was the best decision! Starting from the location, very welcoming and relaxing with a touch of luxury. The entire week has been regenerative, with the days spent by the pool on some of the nicest and comfiest sits/chairs I've ever experienced in vacation. The evenings were even more exciting because we knew we were about to try more dishes from the menu! Every dinner felt like a Michelin star experience, from the lovely and attentive staff (shout-out to Luca and team!!) to the spectacularly curated seasonal flavours in every dish. If you are visiting during SS26 I recommend the Sinless Memory and the Surf and Turf (the last one is addicting). A lovely selection of homemade soft-drinks and cocktails, with a good selection for the wine-list, local to what the area has to offer. The breakfast was also very impressive, a whole buffet completely vegan! Both sweet and savour selection tends to slightly change every morning ( I guess that's a way for the kitchen to minimalise waste, which is admirable and can get very creative at times!) We also had the change to talk with the owner (she's very friendly and always roaming around most days) and you can tell that the entire koukoumi project was very curated and designed to stand-out from the rest of the island. Mykonos is known for big parties and roasted meat, koukoumi is the exception with a relaxing atmosphere and services, wrapped in a eco-friendly and deliciously vegan entity. The placement of the hotel is a bit tricky (but that's just the layout of the isaldn) if you don't feel confident in driving (like myself) but with a bit of planning you can reach the old town for the more touristy bits, by bus from Ano Mera. Again, a huge thank you for the entire staff for making our honeymoon so special and memorable, we can't wait to be back!

“Book a room now!”

An incredible experience! The food was over-the-top delicious, and Alex was an amazing yoga instructor. It was such a treat to stay at this peaceful hotel.

“Amazing food, lovely hotel, just a few things to improve”

We were met at the airport (transfer included in the price) and 20 minutes later had a warm welcome at the hotel. Special mention to Dimitri for being super friendly and knowledgeable about where to go when we hired the car. Location is good - near a small supermarket and bakery (which did excellent vegan mushroom or leek pie for 3 Euros). It is 1.5 miles to the nearest beach which is sandy and has two beach restaurants on it - the open one was very expensive but ok for a refreshing beer. We hired a car via the hotel for 50 Euros per day and spent one day at Mykonos Town which we loved and one day visiting the rest of the island. Breakfast was amazing. Lots of hot and cold, sweet and savoury delights. Great coffee (although we had to keep reminding them to make the cappuccino HOT) and fresh orange juice. Service was always good if Francesca was there (otherwise not so good). Dinner was also excellent- we tried everything off the menu and the flavours are divine. Again service was good if Luka was there…if he was not there, then not so good. We had the wrong food delivered three times (in 5 nights) and once got our main course before the starter. The staff (other than Luka) seemed uncertain which table was which and what the dishes looked like. Once we waited over 30 minutes for dessert. Hopefully this will improve in time as the staff were all friendly and no doubt will improve. There was also the issue that whilst delicious, the portions are small. This is ok except there was no option for a side dish of bread or vegetables for example. The seitan steak for example was lovely and came with a slice of potato but that was it. Also whilst the lovely minty water was available on the first night from the jug, after that we were not allowed as it was deemed too “unsightly” to pour free water from a nice jug, but ok to pay for bottled water! Just seemed a little penny pinching. Our room was great. Good size, nice shower and separate toilet. Cleaned every day to a high standard. The fridge was not cold however, so we asked how to turn it up and were told it is a set temperature- which was room temperature! So the maintenance man gave us another, which was the same. I am sure he would have changed it again but perhaps they are all the same. We had a lovely private veranda with a hot tub which we used each day and a hammock. Bed was super comfy too. So overall very good just need some training in the restaurant to get the service to match the quality of food. But again special thanks to Dimitri, Luka and Francesca who really stood out to us.
