Panoptis Escape

Altogether, Panoptis Escape is a 21 bedroom villa complete with 12 private pools & one main pool along with a spa and various dining options. Designed to be booked as one or bookable as separate suites.  

So often in hotel design ideology, the view is central to how a property speaks to you, especially island properties where the sunrise and sunset become daily  rituals. The location and elevation of Panoptis Escape, nestled atop Ellia Bay affords a unique 360 views as far as the eye can see. Mykonos in every direction, thus not limiting those sunrises and sunsets to a singular location during your stay.

Panos Daktylides, one of the owners and first generation Mykonioan said, “The resort is aimed at a new sort of guest. We know what Mykonos was like in the old days and we want to offer a taste of that. This is going back to our roots. This will be your Greek hilltop home by the sea.”

Holidays are about perspective, a literal removal of oneself from your day-to-day life to journey somewhere new, that feels like discovery awaits. Reflecting the sentiments of the owners’ comments you get a real sense of a differently paced Mykonos from this vantage point. The hotel vibe harks back to the days before the yachts began to discover the island when it was a rarely visited fishing village.

The property best describes itself by saying, ‘Panoptis Escape is place where the sunrise becomes a personal meeting with the sun and the sunset is a daily celebration of silence.’ This is echoed by its location set on land untouched by the noise and is protected from the high winds that provides a cocoon to retreat.

Whilst modernity lay below in all of Mykonos’ offerings, Panoptis Escape is a masterclass in luxury that redefines the category and sets a new benchmark in hideaway style properties.
