Pouring their hearts and souls into the project
and sparing no attention to detail, the couple
put long hours and loads of personal work into
creating a contemporary, innovative hotel on the
grounds. Their efforts did not go to waste. In fact
they were very much rewarded.
Semeli, named after the mother of Dionysos,
god of wine and pleasure, who was (rather befit-
tingly!) ancient Mykonians’ most worshipped dei-
ty, nowadays stands in all its glory and year after
year attracts discerning travelers from around the
globe.
It is not without good reason. In an island full
of luxurious, elite establishments, Semeli truly
stands out. It is the unique amalgam of privileged
location, premium aesthetics, unsurpassed hospi-
tality and cool vibes –coupled with the constant
effort to improve– that does the trick.
In fact owners of Semeli never rest on their
laurels.
To keep up with the times, the hotel’s rooms
and suites have been recently renovated. All fea-
ture flat-screen TVs, free and fast wifi, a balcony
or terrace, double glazing (welcome in chilly ear-
ly spring or autumn) and exposed original fea-
tures like beam ceilings and arches. Bathrooms
are Philippe Starck-designed, with butler sinks
and rain showers, and naturally lit via translucent
panels; while superior rooms also boast outdoor
mini-spa-tubs. Impeccable taste meets state of
the art conveniences at Semeli’s units, to create
a home-away-from-home effect.
The –also revamped– spa is another example
of the pampering that awaits guests at Semeli.
With its vast array of amazing facial and body
treatments, ultra luxurious nail salon and Turkish
hammam room, it is justly positioned among the
most premium Spas of the island, promising and
delivering total body and mind rejuvenation.
Fine food and drink is another domain which
the Zissimopoulos family focuses on.
Semeli’s celebrated breakfast buffet is bounti-
ful with plenty of choice, including traditional pies
and sweets, seasonal fruit and fresh eggs cooked
in a variety of delectable ways. What’s more, Se-
meli’s owners recognize Mykonos for the party
island that it is, so they have thoughtfully decided
to serve breakfast until noon.
