Santa Marina Resort & Villas, a Luxury Collection Resort in Mykonos, Greece is set to unveil the results of a three-year renovation this month. 


Led by Silvina Macipe Krontira of Greece-based SMK Interiors, the resort’s renovation will feature a contemporary yet timeless design complementing the resort’s views of the Mediterranean Sea. The redesign covered guest accommodations, public spaces, and restaurants.

“Mykonos remains one of the world’s most mesmerizing destinations, and we are thrilled to unveil the redesign of Santa Marina, perfectly poised to cater to a new generation of luxury travelers,” says Paul James, global brand leader of the Luxury Collection for St. Regis and W Hotels Worldwide. “That Greece is the Luxury Collection brand’s third largest market globally is a clear indication that the country’s rich culture, distinctive heritage, and indigenous treasures make it a must for the most discerning travelers.”

Santa Marina sits on a private and revitalized beach, overlooking the Aegean Sea, Ornos Bay, and nearby islands. The resort has 100 guestrooms and suites, including some with a private pool, and all featuring a private balcony and sea views. 

Krontira’s interpretation of the resort blends the cosmopolitan style of Mykonos with the island’s warmth. The resort’s newly designed rooms and suites will feature natural materials such as teak wood and linen fabrics. In the new public spaces, chic natural decor and muted tones draw from the coastal environment and complement the resort’s white interiors. Indigenous Cycladic design accents also adorn the resort. 

The redesign also features updates to the seafront Bayview Beach Restaurant and Bar as well as the Lotus Spa.
