What Makes a Great Gay Hotel in Mykonos?

To make your life easier when visiting the island, I’ve selected the best hotels for you to stay at, depending on what you’re looking for. These hotels have been selected depending on the following criterias.

✅ Gay or gay friendly: To begin with, I’ve only selected hotels that are specifically gay or gay friendly. While as a gay person you can stay at any hotel, the experience of staying at a gay or gay friendly hotel is just a bit better. The hotel won’t only be a place where you’ll spend your nights, it might as well be a place where you can meet nice people. And if you come to Mykonos to enjoy the gay community, you’ll probably enjoy staying in a gay or gay friendly hotel.

✅ Location: I’ve also made sure that the hotels are located in areas that you’ll like. There are a few main gay hot spots on the island, and all these hotels are located close to one. The areas are Mykonos Town, the heart of the island which is filled with bars, restaurants and nightclubs that you’ll most certainly love; Elia Beach which is located on the southern part of the island, and is a more quiet spot; and lastly, Super Paradise Beach that kind of combines the 2, since you’ll stay on the beach, but parties there go on all day and all night long.

✅ Privacy: The last point that seems important is the privacy you can get at the hotel. If you come home with someone, or simply if you’re coming with your partner, you’ll want to enjoy some intimacy. And while you might enjoy meeting some new people at the hotel, you’ll also want to get back to your room without coming past every single hotel guest.

All this is in my opinion what makes a great gay hotel in Mykonos. And every single hotel that made it onto this list fulfills these criterias. So, every selected hotel is a great place to stay.

But depending on where you want to stay, and what seems more important to you, you might prefer staying at one or the other.

To know which one is best for you, just keep reading, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect gay hotel for you in Mykonos.

Where to Stay in Mykonos for Gay and LGBT

Mykonos is one of the best gay-friendly destinations in Greece and an amazing place to stay at for LGBT people.

Not only is the island an amazing place to be on, the gay community there is huge, and staying there as a gay person is a great experience. Sometimes, it can even feel like gay people outnumber the straights.

There are a few main gay hotspots, and I highly recommend you stay close to one of these during your holidays:

• Best Overall: Mykonos Town
• Runner Up: Elia Beach
• Best Parties: Super Paradise Beach

If you want to know more about each of these areas, I talk about each one of them, and their pros and cons in the next part.

All 3 are equally amazing, but depending on what you want and need, one is probably better suited that the others. I’m sure that you’ll make the right choice and have a memorable holiday in Mykonos.

THE Best Place to Stay in Mykonos for Gay/LGBT Travelers: Mykonos Town

Mykonos Town is, as you would expect it, the main town on the island. Whether you’re arriving by airplane or by boat, this is where you’ll arrive.

It’s famous for its beauty and charm, and of course, its parties. There, you’ll find countless bars and nightclubs, and the concentration of gay places is incredibly high. If all these bars and nightclubs seem overwhelming to you, and you don’t know where to start, the Babyon and the Jackie O’s are 2 great places to start.

And from there, you’ll most certainly meet amazing people with whom you’ll be able to discover the rest of town.
 

Runner Up Mykonos Gay Area: Elia Beach

Elia beach is located on the southernmost part of the island, and is without a doubt one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island.

The atmosphere there has a nice chill vibe, and you won’t really find something similar in other places on the island.

There are not lots of bars and restaurants as in Mykonos Town, but you get this at the benefit of staying on the most beautiful beach of the island!
 

Best Place to Stay for Gay Parties: Super Paradise Beach

Super Paradise Beach is a world class party beach. You’ll find parties all night, but also all day long. And they are wild.

It’s also an amazing gay beach. Now, the best gay beach is Elia, but it used to be Super Paradise Beach. It still is, without a doubt the best gay party beach if not the best overall party beach. People come from all around the world to party here, so you can be sure that it’s worth it.

If you come to Mykonos to enjoy the parties, the sea and the sun, Super Paradise Beach is the perfect place for you to stay.
 

 
So, to recap, the overall best place to stay at is Mykonos Town, the best gay beach is Elia beach and the best place to party is Super Paradise Beach.
