Best Family Hotels with Swimming Pool in Mykonos
10 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Mykonos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Mykonos has a reputation problem when it comes to family travel. The party island, the celebrities, the eight-hundred-euro sun loungers — that gets the headlines. But the pool hotels here are a different story. Most 5-star resorts on the island sit in quiet bays away from the town nightlife, with infinity pools that catch the Aegean sun until 7pm, shallow kids' sections, and the kind of family suites that make a 10-day holiday actually possible. The water in those pools stays warm from May to October, and the sea views from the loungers are genuinely some of the best in Greece.
Mykonos is two islands depending on where you stay. There's the windmill-and-whitewash old town with its cobbled lanes (Little Venice, Matogiannia) where you'll spend afternoons. And there's the resort coastline — Platis Yialos, Ornos, Psarou — where the pools are. The transition between the two is short, 10 minutes by taxi, and the whole island measures about 14 km end to end. Days look like this: late breakfast at the hotel, pool until 1pm, beach taxi to a calmer bay for lunch, back for the kids' nap, sunset drinks while they swim, dinner in town. Two weeks fly by.

🏊Why a Pool Hotel Makes Sense in Mykonos with Kids
The pool hotels in Mykonos genuinely cater to families if you choose right. Avoid the adults-only properties (a real category here, marketed openly) and you'll find resorts with shallow kids' sections, baby pools, towels and floats stocked at the deck, and sun loungers in shaded clusters. Anax Resort and Anandes both heat their pools shoulder season, which matters if you're travelling in May or October. The Mykonos Theoxenia in town has the only proper hotel pool walking distance from the windmills.
What surprises first-timers is the value once you escape the social-media hotspots. The five hotels we picked all sit in the €450 to €1,400 per night range in peak July — yes that's a lot, but compared to Santorini it's mostly cheaper, and you get bigger family rooms, real pools, and quieter bays. Off-peak in late September drops these prices by 50% or more, the sea is still warm, and the kids' clubs in town are still running. Mykonos rewards parents who pick the right week.
Parent's take
What we keep hearing from parents on the island: the bay matters more than the hotel. Stay in Ornos or Platis Yialos and you can walk to the beach, the bay water is shallow for 30 metres, and the tavernas are family-friendly. Stay in town (Mýkonos City) and you'll get the cobbled-lane charm but also the night noise and a 15-minute walk to any swimming. Pick the bay first, the hotel second — that's the rule.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Mykonos with swimming pool, sorted by guest rating.

Palladium Hotel
Nammos Beach
Wonderful
300 reviews
A 5-star Cycladic-style hotel above Platis Gialos beach with two-bedroom family suites and panoramic Aegean views. The pool deck has a separate shallow section for younger kids, and the beach is a 5-minute walk down a stepped path.
From
€300/night
Why families love Palladium Hotel
The two-bedroom suite was the right size for our family of four, and the view from the terrace at sunset is what we'll remember. Breakfast is plentiful and they accommodate fussy eaters. The walk down to the beach is fine in the morning, but bring decent shoes — the climb back at midday in 32 degrees is a workout.

Nomia Sunset Suites Mykonos
Pigados
Wonderful
300 reviews
A 5-star adults-friendly suites hotel in Ornos with select family suites featuring private plunge pools and sea views. Each suite has its own outdoor terrace, and the property is a 4-minute walk to Ornos beach.
From
€300/night
Why families love Nomia Sunset Suites Mykonos
Nomia worked because the suite had a real second bedroom plus a plunge pool the kids could splash in while we cooked breakfast. Ornos beach is two minutes downhill — the kids did the walk in flip-flops. The hotel is small, around 30 suites, so service felt personal and they remembered our coffee order by day three.

Charisma Hotel and Wellness Club
Plintri Agios Isidoros
Wonderful
300 reviews
A 4-star hotel and spa in Ornos with family suites that sleep up to four, an indoor pool open year-round, and a small kids' play corner in the lobby. Walking distance to Ornos beach restaurants and the bus stop into Mykonos Town.
From
€300/night
Why families love Charisma Hotel and Wellness Club
Charisma punches above its star count. The family suite was 45 square meters with a proper second bedroom for the kids. The indoor pool was the unexpected hero — three windy afternoons in a row, the kids swam there while the wind howled outside. Bus to town leaves from outside the hotel.

Paradise View Hotel
Main Street
Wonderful
300 reviews
A 3-star hotel with family suites that sleep up to five, a pool deck overlooking Paradise Bay, and shuttle service to Paradise Beach. Suites have a separate kids' bedroom and a small kitchenette with fridge.
From
€300/night
Why families love Paradise View Hotel
Paradise View was the budget pick that worked. The family suite had bunks for the kids in a separate room, plus a kitchenette so we made breakfast in. Pool view is genuinely stunning. Note: Paradise Bay turns into a beach club in the late afternoon — fine for older kids, but we left by 4 p.m. with the toddler.

Wonderful
300 reviews
A 5-star beachfront hotel on Ornos beach with family suites that step directly onto the sand, an outdoor pool with a kids' section, and a beachfront restaurant with a children's menu. Part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
From
€300/night
Why families love Mykonos Ammos Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Beachfront was the deciding factor. The family suite opened onto the pool deck which opened onto Ornos beach — about 20 paces from suite door to sand. Service felt grown-up but the staff were warm with the kids. The kids' menu actually had things kids eat, not adult food shrunk small.

Anax Resort and Spa
Agios Ioannis Mykonos
Wonderful
960 reviews
Anax Resort and Spa sits on a quiet hillside above Agios Ioannis bay, six minutes by taxi from Mykonos town. The infinity pool runs the length of the property facing west toward Delos, with a separate shallow children's zone, sun beds in shaded clusters, and a poolside bar that serves kids' meals. Family suites have plunge pools and ocean views.
From
€499/night
Why families love Anax Resort and Spa
We didn't expect Anax to be this kid-friendly given the design-magazine looks. The shallow pool zone is properly shallow (about 40cm deep) and warm, and the staff bring out floats and pool toys without being asked. Family suites have their own private plunge pools, so you can put kids to bed and still have a cocktail outside. Agios Ioannis bay is a 3-minute walk down a steep path — sunset is spectacular. The bay water is calm and shallow for 30m. The downside: the hill is steep, so a stroller is a workout coming back from the beach. The plus side: dinner at the hotel is genuinely good, the price point is sane for Mykonos, and the views from the family suite balconies make every photo look like a brochure.

DeLight Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Agios Ioannis Mykonos
Wonderful
960 reviews
DeLight Boutique Hotel is a small luxury 5-star, part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, set above Agios Ioannis with adults-mostly vibe but family suites that can accommodate two children. Two pools (a heated one and an infinity), a spa, bicycle rental, and a wine bar overlooking Delos. Beach access via the path is 5 minutes.
From
$1363/night
Why families love DeLight Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
DeLight skews more grown-up — the music at the bar is louder than at Anax, the deck loungers are mostly adults — but if your kids are 8+, it works really well. The family suite they call 'Diamond' has a sea-view terrace and is genuinely large, around 60m². The heated pool runs warm even in May. We loved the bike rental for early-morning rides into town before the heat. The catch: the hotel is more about the curated atmosphere than the kids. Under-5s might find it sleepy. Older kids and teens, on the other hand, get something close to a proper Greek-island experience without the family-resort feel.

Mykonos Theoxenia, a Member of Design Hotels
Mýkonos City
Wonderful
940 reviews
Mykonos Theoxenia is the only design-grade pool hotel within walking distance of the windmills and Little Venice — about 5 minutes on foot. The pool sits in a courtyard sheltered from the meltemi wind, with a heated section and a shaded kids' area. Family rooms are compact but practical, with bunk-bed configurations and connecting-door options.
From

Why families love Mykonos Theoxenia, a Member of Design Hotels
The location is the win at Theoxenia. You walk to dinner instead of taxi-ing, which with sleepy kids is huge. The pool is sheltered so the meltemi wind doesn't ruin your afternoon — most other in-town options don't have this. Family rooms are smaller than the resort options (around 28m²) but the bunk-bed setup actually works for kids. The plus: you wake up, walk through the cobbled lanes before tourists arrive, swim in the pool, and the day starts at 9am instead of after a 30-minute taxi commute. Best for families whose priority is the town vibe with kids who can handle apartment-style sleeping.

San Antonio Summerland
Mýkonos City
Wonderful
930 reviews
San Antonio Summerland sits above Paraga Beach with the largest pool deck in our selection — three pools at different levels, the main one heated, a separate kids' pool, and a sea-view terrace that runs almost the full length of the resort. Family rooms include suites with two bedrooms and a small kitchenette. Shuttle to Mykonos town runs every hour.
From
$330/night
Why families love San Antonio Summerland
If you're after pool space, San Antonio is the clear winner. Three pools means you can have one for the kids' splashing, one for laps, and one for sundown drinks. The kids' pool is shaded mid-day, which is the only way to keep little ones in the water past 11am in July. Family rooms are larger than most of the island (40m² and up) and the kitchenette saves at least one meal a day. The bay below (Paraga) gets some party activity at night, but the resort's hillside position means noise stays at the beach, not at your room. Excellent value for the size — one of the most family-practical resorts on Mykonos.

Anandes Hotel
Mýkonos City
Wonderful
930 reviews
Anandes Hotel is a small 5-star design property in Mýkonos City with a heated pool, sea-view terrace, and family suites that can accommodate up to four. The town center is a 5-minute walk, the closest swimmable cove is 8 minutes away. The pool is in a sheltered courtyard, used until sundown most days.
From
$899/night
Why families love Anandes Hotel
Anandes is the small-and-quiet alternative to Theoxenia in town. Just 16 rooms, so the staff know your kids' breakfast preferences by day two. The pool is small but heated and the courtyard is properly sheltered from the meltemi wind. Family suites are real two-bedroom apartments with a connecting living area — best layout for a family of four on this list. The catch: the location is a 5-minute walk uphill to the windmills, fine for kids 5+, hard with a buggy. The reward: you're in town with proper pool time, a 50% saving over the resort options, and breakfast served until 11am. The smartest mid-luxury family choice in Mýkonos City itself.
💡Practical Tips Before You Book
- 1Travel May, June, or late September if you can. July and August are exceptional but expensive and crowded. Sea temperatures hit 22-24°C from May, the meltemi wind is more manageable, and pool hotels run at 60-70% occupancy so kids actually have space. Off-peak rates can drop pool-hotel prices by 40%, which is significant on this island.
- 2Pick a hotel by bay, not just by stars. Ornos and Platis Yialos are the family bays. Psarou is more glamorous and louder. Paradise Beach is a hard no with kids. Agios Ioannis (where Anax sits) is quiet, sunset-facing, and 6 minutes by taxi to town. Read the bay description more carefully than the hotel description.
- 3The meltemi wind blows hard from late June to early August, gusts 30-50 km/h some afternoons. North-facing pools get hammered — they're cold and unusable from 2pm. Always ask if the pool is sheltered or south-facing before booking. South-coast resorts (Platis Yialos, Ornos, Psarou, Paradise) are protected from meltemi.
- 4Don't try to do Mykonos on a budget. Drinks at beach clubs hit €25 a cocktail, lunch at Nammos is €200 per head minimum, and even a basic taverna is €50 per person at dinner. Eat breakfast and one main meal at the hotel and budget €100 per day for snacks and drinks outside. With kids, this is doable. Without that mindset, the bills are brutal.
- 5Skip the rental car for the first 3 days and use beach taxis. The island is small, parking in town is impossible, and the beach taxi service runs reliably between resorts and beaches for €15-25 per ride. Rent the car only if you want to do the inland villages (Ano Mera, Vothonas) which take half a day each.
