Fouquet's Mykonos, a newly launched hotel by the Parisian Barrière Collection, has debuted on the Greek island, presenting a tranquil option amidst the island's notorious party scene. The establishment comprises 60 suites and 3 villas, showcasing modern architecture with local stone and sleek lines. Notable art pieces include a Salvador Dalí elephant sculpture in the lobby and two large works by Julian Opie at the entrance. Amenities feature a half basketball court, a Rock Spa offering treatments by Dr. Barbara Sturm, and two dining options: Éole, which specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, and Roka, a sister restaurant to Zuma, known for its Robatayaki dishes.
