Four Seasons set for Summer 2025 opening in Mykonos

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Blue Iris Investments have announced plans to open a new beachside resort in Mykonos in Summer 2025.

Located along the coastline of Kalo Livadi Bay, Four Seasons Resort Mykonos, Greece will comprise 94 spacious rooms, villas and suites with views of the Aegean Sea. Finding home on an unspoiled 60,324m² of land, the property will honour the culture and heritage of its destination, designed in the Cycladic style that is synonymous with Mykonos.

White cubic architecture by Nicos Valsamakis will feature whitewashed courtyards, traditional pathways and picturesque piazzas, while interiors by Wimberly Interiors will be inspired by the timeless elegance of the location. 

A Talented Leadership Team

Leading the opening of this exciting new property will be General Manager Ryan Grande. With over 14 years of experience with Four Seasons, Grande has previously held key positions at properties in Jackson Hole, Seattle, Vancouver, and Costa Rica. He expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter, stating, “It is an honor to lead the opening team for such a landmark project. My experience with different Four Seasons properties and cultures has been incredible, and I look forward to being part of this expansion in Greece.”

The Mykonos Project, as reported by AGC, has been the focus of opposition from local stakeholders and environmental organizations.

The Municipality of Mykonos and other stakeholders have filed successive appeals to the Council of State, attempting to halt the development of the investment. The Supreme Court of Appeal finally gave the green light for the investment to go ahead, but cancelled plans for a 32 berth marina. 

The total investment now amounts to €78.6 million, compared to the original €60 million, and covers an area of 60,324 hectares. 

The resort will offer a variety of F&B spaces designed by Rockwell Group, including an al fresco poolside Italian venue, a modern interpretation of a Mykonian Kafeneio and a beach dining experience. 

Additional amenities will take the form of a relaxed infinity swimming pool overlooking the Aegean Sea, a spa with several treatment rooms and fitness facilities, as well as several indoor and outdoor venues for meetings and events. 

“Expanding our presence in Greece has been a key focus for us for many years, and we have continued to search for the right opportunities to grow in this important market,” says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential, Four Seasons. “Following the success of our partnership with AGC Equity Partners on our award-winning hotel in Athens, we knew that this new resort in Mykonos would be the perfect addition to our portfolio in this beautiful country. We look forward to welcoming guests to the ultimate beachside retreat when we open our doors.” 

Walid Abu-Suud, CEO of AGC Equity Partners, adds: “Our decision to expand our investment portfolio in Greece and develop another landmark destination in Mykonos constitutes evidence of our increased confidence in, and commitment to, the country’s growth in high-end tourism. We have no doubt that this new Resort will become a destination in its own right for international and local tourism. We look forward to collaborating with Four Seasons in Greece once again.”

The strategic importance of the investment

For both AGC Equity Partners and Four Seasons, Mykonos is a strategic choice to strengthen its presence in the Greek luxury tourism sector. The resort's location in the southeastern part of Mykonos capitalizes on one of the few remaining unspoiled landscapes on the island.

The hotel's architecture, designed by Stavros Valsamakis, draws inspiration from traditional Cycladic architecture, with small white houses and rooms offering unique sea views.The new hotel will enhance the high-end tourism profile of Mykonos, while the sustainable approach of the investment sets new standards in the development of the industry.
