Koukoumi Vegan Boutique Hotel

Ons verblijf in Koukoumi Hotel was werkelijk een droom. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, voelden we ons welkom en gezien. Het personeel is ongelooflijk vriendelijk, oprecht betrokken en straalt warmte uit – je merkt dat hier met liefde en aandacht gewerkt wordt.

Het eten was ronduit fantastisch: elke maaltijd was een culinaire verrassing, met verfijnde smaken, verse ingrediënten en vooral… volledig plantaardig. Het is zeldzaam om op vakantie zó zorgeloos en tegelijk zó smaakvol veganistisch te kunnen genieten. Alles is geproduceerd zonder dierenleed – en dat proef je, dat voel je.

Wat dit hotel extra bijzonder maakt, is hun aandacht voor mens én milieu. Van de duurzame keuzes in inrichting tot het respect voor de lokale omgeving – dit is een plek waar ethiek en luxe hand in hand gaan.

Een speciaal dankjewel aan de warme, inspirerende eigenaar die van Koukoumi meer heeft gemaakt dan een hotel – het is een plek met een ziel.

Bedankt voor alles. We komen absoluut terug!

The choice of food was amazing as was the quality. The staff were amazing

Best vegan resort ever / and the most caring staff you can imagine, from the receptionist Marianna, the owner Giorgia to our most lovely yoga-gym-nutrition-life (!) trainer and therapist Alex!

An incredible experience! The food was over-the-top delicious, and Alex was an amazing yoga instructor. It was such a treat to stay at this peaceful hotel.

It was an absolutely dreamy stay at the hotel. The booking went smoothly. We received the necessary information in a timely manner. The staff on site was always very friendly, warm, and helpful. Everything was always impeccably clean and tidy. The food is a vegan dream. If possible, definitely book the tasting menu, it is absolutely recommended and a taste experience. 100% likelihood of repetition.

We had a great stay overall, but still I gave lower rating due to how expensive it was.
Highlights:
1. One of the dinner main courses (seitan steak, ‘Sinless Memory’) and one of the lunch deserts (pistachio gelato) were just amazing.
2. Room cleanliness and upkeep
3. My wife really enjoyed the Yoga class
4. Great atmosphere from staff and even other guests
5. Getting a really luxurious experience, especially when it comes to dinner and lunch.
6. Just the general feeling that they do what they do out of love, gave me a cozy feeling from the minute I walked in.

Lowlights:
1. Maybe it’s just my simplistic preferences, but I didn’t like most of the food. It was often just too intense. Quite often things just had some sort of ‘bacon’-y flavor to them which I really didn’t like (even the morning tofu scramble). And I have tasted salt less salty than the miso, which was being too-generously used in several dishes.
It also didn’t help that it was really hard to understand from the menu, what the dish is actually.
2. Shower, toilets, etc.:
a. There was a noticeable sewage scent coming from the toilet room, probably from the drain in the floor.
b. Really didn’t like the choice of shower heads. Using vintage metal ones was heavy, harder to operate, and felt less clean.
c. Too few places to hang towels. Putting two hangers in the same space as where the shower takes place - we had to choose whether to not keep them there to dry or to risk getting them wet while we shower.
3. Room didn’t have enough light – natural light wasn’t abundant and lamplight couldn’t cover parts of the room as well.
4. Room had two windows, one of which faces the busy road just outside the hotel. If we kept it open, we had terrible noise coming in. If we kept it close – no air flow (which we needed because of the sewage scent).
5. The seating options around the pool were not very comfy.
6. Staff (mainly the waiters/waitresses) were very professional and gracious, but for me it was too much so; almost robotic. Considering that the staff are the only people I talked with for three days (aside from my wife), this could have made the experience that much better.

A wonderful hotel with charming and attentive staff and a fabulous vegan menu. Our daily yoga and meditation sessions with Alex were healing and energising; the perfect start to each day! We also recommend trying the 9 course tasting menu and the cooking class. The pool area was very relaxing with a variety of comfy sun beds. The well-equipped gym and a sauna were an added bonus.

Perfect vacation - we spent 5 days here with our young-adult son. From the large rooms, with their amazing matresses and pillows, to the heavenly pool area to the delightful meals, we felt pampered and relaxed throughout our stay. The staff was gracious and helpful, and the owner of the hotel is so lovely. We look forward to our next stay.

The staff, restaurant and general relaxed atmosphere were great.

Serene and tranquil on an island oftentimes known for the opposite

Das gesamte Personal und die Rezeption ist top und mega freundlich. Das vegane Frühstück ist sehr gut und liebevoll zubereitet, der Cafe ausgezeichnet, wenn auch das Frühstück mit doch wenig Abwechslung bei mehr als ein paar Tagen Aufenthalt. Der Pool ist schön. Der Fitnessraum sehr gut. Das ruhige Hotel ist ein wenig abgelegen, mit Auto oder dem nahen Bus ist das aber ok und das weiss man vorher. Minus sind die an sich grossen, spartanisch eingerichteten, aber eben nicht einwandfreien Zimmer, das sollte dem Management schon auffallen, defektes Fliegennetz oder Flecken in der Dusche gehören auch in der Saison repariert. Auch sind die Liegen bzw viel zu viele Stühle (warum gerade diese Auswahl?) am Pool wenig einladend für ein Tag am Pool. Fazit: 5 Sterne werden für uns im Vergleich mit Top-Hotels dadurch leider nicht erreicht, das gute vegane Konzept des Hotels könnte optimiert werden.

Posizione decentrata, ma comoda lo stesso per raggiungere il centro sia con la macchina che con il bus; vicinanza alle spiagge più belle dell’isola; colazione di qualità e varia; personale, sempre disponibile e cordiale; ambiente ideale per un soggiorno intimo e rigenerante

The perfect break if you want a relaxing stay and world class food.

Bardzo kameralny hotel, relaksujące otoczenie i atmosfera.

Just back from a truly wonderful week in Mykonos, and at this wonderful fully vegan hotel. The breakfast is amazing, as is so many other aspects. Be prepared for some windy days though, as with anywhere in Mykonos. There’s a nearby helicopter pad which can create noise and wind but also fun to look at. The rooms are lovely, although I found the WiFi upstairs wasn’t great, however it gave me an excuse to unplug for the week or sit by the pool. The staff are friendly and helpful- offering beach suggestions and knowledgeable about the food. The yoga is incredible and really worth it.

They’ve set the bar very high for any future trips!

We LOVED our stay here! The food was absolutely delicious. Not only do they offer an amazing breakfast with various - savory and sweet - options. They also have a degustation menu, which we really enjoyed - it was an extraordinary experience! The “regular” diner and lunch menu is also absolutely fantastic!! Definitely try the Sinless memory - I felt like I was in vegan heaven. My partner - who is not vegan - also adored all the dishes!!! Also book the cooking class, if you can - had an awesome time and learned a lot of tricks.

Shout out to the amazing team! The whole atmosphere is so welcoming and warm, we especially enjoyed our talks with the owner, Georgia and her whole staff.

We will definitely return to this gorgeous place, thanks for having us :)
