The creation of the new Mykonos Dove 5* Hotel is based on a unique concept which joins the history of Mykonos, its ties to the sacred island of Delos and modern Greek living all together. Anius, in Greek mythology, was the son of the god Apollo and of Rhoeo, who was herself a descendant of the god Dionysus. Anius’s three daughters, Spermo, Oeno and Elais—that is, Grain Seed, Wine, and Oil—were granted by Dionysus the gift of bringing these three crops to fruition. When the Greek fleet set out to make war in Troy, it was the Spermo, Oeno and Elais who stocked their ships, and Agamemnon was so impressed with this that he abducted them in order to feed the Greek army. The daughters escaped, but their brother betrayed them again to the Greeks. As they were about to be bound, however, Dionysus saved them by turning them into white doves. Since then the white dove became the sacred bird of Delos. The hotel complex consists of 3 primary buildings. Building A, named ‘Σπερμώ’ (seed), comprises the reception area, the hotel lobby and a newly renovated beachfront restaurant, offering authentic Modern Greek cuisine, on the ground floor, a spa and wellness centre on the lower level, plus 13 exclusive, sea view suites on the first floor. Building B, ‘Οινώ’ (wine), hosts a total of 10 Greek Luxury suites on the ground and upper floor. Building C, ‘Ελαΐς’ (olive oil), includes 14 fully renovated double rooms and junior suites on the ground and upper floor.
The hotel complex is completely renovated with new additions, while all rooms are upgraded to 5 star category, with private pool or hot tubs. The design of the hotel is centred on the following principles; transparency, ethereality and fluidity. In addition to these, translucency, reflection and refraction of light through ponds and pools is a repeating theme throughout the public and private areas of the hotel.
