Next Stop Koukoumi hotel! Welcome to Koukoumi, the first 5-star vegan hotel in Greece and the only one in Mykonos, where luxury and sustainability coexist in perfect harmony. In the local Myconian dialect, “Koukoumi” means a cozy, wind-sheltered haven, a place designed for comfort, calm, and conscious living!
Nestled in the traditional village of Ano Mera, at the heart of the island, Koukoumi was envisioned as a serene sanctuary for the discerning traveler. Here, they offer a fresh perspective on hospitality, revealing a more intimate side of Mykonos while embracing a lifestyle rooted in compassion and wellness. At Koukoumi, guests are invited to experience how joyful and fulfilling life can be without causing harm to animals, the planet, or themselves. The owner, a very inspiring local Myconian lady, gave her heart on this project and envisions to take it to other places, even abroad, and if you ask me she should!
Koukoumi vegan hotel is guided by the principles of Authenticity, Simplicity, and Balance, where their eco-conscious philosophy is reflected in every detail of the guest experience. With impeccable service and thoughtful design, Koukoumi offers a space to unwind, recharge, and reconnect—nourishing both body and spirit in a truly harmonious environment.
This hotel provides its guests with an experience that is both indulgent and environmentally responsible. The pool is a magnesium pool, offering a natural and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chlorine pools. This choice reflects their commitment to providing luxurious amenities that are in harmony with the environment and the human being as a continuation of the earth. What enchanted me even more, was the fact that the electricity used in the hotel is generated solely by solar panels. The rooms are spacious with a lovely scent.
But what had me captivated was the food. Breakfast was one of the most amazingly delicious and freshly provided breakfasts I have ever had. Their Vegan Chef, Aggeliki Charami, brings the hotel’s vision to life by continually exploring new flavor profiles and hidden ingredients. Blending the essence of Mediterranean treasures and aromas with the precision of Japanese culinary traditions, her creations engage the senses, evoke emotion, and awaken memories. When she prepares dinner, the whole vibe is at a whole different level! Inspired by the harmony and contrast found in nature, Koukoumi’s menu offers a dining experience that is both unexpected and one that you will never forget.
Chef Aggeliki and the whole team invite you on a nostalgic journey through time—a place where past and future intertwine in delicate harmony, and the rhythm of the seasons stirs cherished memories. Drawing inspiration from the elements of this very land—from the sea’s salty breeze and sun-dried rocks to the arid soil and ripening sun-kissed fruit, their experimental cuisine is a heartfelt tribute to the ancestral wisdom rooted in nature’s cycles. What is more, the Koukoumi team prioritizes local products such as mushrooms, salt, beer, fruits, and cactus leaves, as well as ingredients primarily produced in Greece.
At Koukoumi vegan hotel, simplicity evolves into minimalism, the ceramic plate becomes a canvas, and dining transforms into a soulful, almost mystical experience and they invite you to surrender to it—with trust, curiosity, and passion.
Don’t forget to visit the Spa while there and participate at one of the carefully curated Yoga sessions they organize frequently. Respecting the ecosystem, Koukoumi leads the way to realize that this land belongs to our kids and their kids, etc.
