Milos Cove

New mom celebrating my anniversary with friends and family. We planned this trip for the last 6 months. Confirmation went through, we didn't know children were not allowed until 2 weeks prior. We are now forced to be separated from our family and incurring double the cost to move at the last minute. Concierge service was not helpful at all in remedying the situation. They could have been accommodating and allowed our child to remain in our villa. Poor operations and concierge service. Not 5 star.

Poor logistics, and poor planning by management.
Supposed to go here for a week in sept 2026 with several family members and we booked several villas. I booked through Orbitz for 3 adults and one child. I then happened to notice while planning my trip two weeks before that they don't allow children and called the hotel to verify. They cancelled my room and made no accomodations. This isn't 5 star service.

Disorganized and poor execution.
Why did I have to call you ?
Why did you not inform your third parties that you don't allow children. Poor operations and poor logistics.
Blessing in disguise, stay else where

I'm a physician in the United States so I rarely get to travel but when I do I expect a 5 star level place to be accommodating and have better execution.

Great view. Good food. Private beach. Friendly staff.

We stayed here for 4 nights to end our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed in. We had one of the honeymoon suites with our own private plunge pool and two story suite (bed is on the 2nd floor and bathroom is on the 1st floor). A lot of reviews complain about the drive to the property…get a car that can handle it (SUV with AWD or 4WD) and just beware that the last 1km is straight downhill into the property so it feels scary but you get used to it. It’s worth it for the serenity you get at the property! Seriously….we were worried about the road and it really was not a big deal. Driving in Milos in general is difficult at times and getting to Milos Cove is no different.

Staff: The staff were incredible from the minute we first entered the property. When you check in you receive a private tour of the amenities. Shoutout to our girl Eva at the pool, she made our stay so fun and welcoming every day!

Pool/Beach: The pool is a beautiful infinity pool, overlooking the private beach, where you can sit in a two-person cabana or lounge chairs and order drinks and food. The private beach with chairs and umbrellas (that don’t provide much shade until later in the afternoon as an FYI) are a 5 min steep walk on gravel from the pool. You can also be driven up/down by the staff in a golf cart. Having a beach with a dock and ladder was a very nice addition so you don’t need to leave the property to swim in the Aegean.

Breakfast: Breakfast was a decent mix of cold buffet and made-to-order eggs each day. The baked eggs were our favorite.

Restaurant: We went to the restaurant a few nights of our stay and it was never crowded (one night we were the only ones there) and we were always taken good care of by the staff. Highlights were the bread basket, carpaccio, truffle pasta, and their homemade ice cream. Our only suggestion would be to switch up the menu more often/have specials so it might be more enticing for people to stay and eat there rather than have to drive 20+ minutes to restaurants on the island. That said the food and service were fantastics and what you would expect at a 5 star hotel.

Spa: We booked a 60 minute couples massage + obsidian bath ritual for 50 mins. The staff and therapists were lovely for the massage part but we did not realize that the obsidian baths we would be in separate baths and it’s in a somewhat public area so people were using the sauna/steam room and we would hear their conversation. The baths are somewhat uncomfortable/we kept slipping around from the massage oil so could not fully relax. I would instead book a longer massage and skip the baths!

Other Thought: Consider revitalizing the website and add better pictures. We originally were booked at another hotel on Milos and due to construction they rebooked us here. We originally chose the other hotel over Milos Coves simply because the Milos Cove website was bare bones and the pictures of the accommodations, restaurant, pool, beach, etc. did not seem to meet 5 star property. Ironically, they all did and the real-life is better than pictures so all worked out but just a recommendation.

Probably one of the worst hotels I’ve been to for a long time that said the staff are lovely and that is where it ends the rooms are more like an airport hotel room nothing luxurious about them like the sink is in the bedroom tiny windows no view all for £980 per night save your money you will be so disappointed also it’s miles from anywhere taxi £70 each way or £100 just to get back from the nearest town honestly I would not go . If you came here and paid all that money I think you would just cry

Without a doubt, this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We honestly said we’d come back to Greece just for the chance to stay here again.

From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Every staff member made us feel so welcome, and nothing was ever too much trouble. A special thank you to Stamatis in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to make every meal memorable. The entire team created such a warm, personal experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

The resort itself is absolutely stunning. It has such an exclusive, peaceful feel, with incredible views, beautiful facilities and the perfect atmosphere to completely switch off. If you’re looking for a quiet luxury escape, this place is hard to beat.

The location is a little more secluded, so we’d definitely recommend hiring a car, but for us, that’s exactly what made it so special. It felt private, relaxing and away from the crowds, while still being close enough to explore everything Milos has to offer.

We’ve stayed in some amazing places, but this was on another level. The combination of the breathtaking setting, world-class service and attention to detail made it an experience we’ll never forget.

A genuine 10/10. We can’t wait to come back.

Panorama e struttura meravigliosa

Intimately remote

My family and I just returned from our 4-night stay in Milos Cove. Wow, what a colossal disaster! The resort touts its heavy 5-star resort but to be honest it delivers 3-star amenities at best. There is ZERO elegance to the soap, shampoo, lotion (you literally get generic soap, lotion, shampoo – nothing special about it). And you get one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth). You are given one beach/pool towel that you are expected to take with you to the pool or beach. Asking for more is met with surprise. A reader might think I am being pretentious but if I was paying a fraction of the cost this would be understandable - the cost/quality is way out of whack. If you are use to the Four Seasons or Luxury hotel brands this is NOT it. Just be warned on what you are getting into when you arrive.

Let me start with the positives. It is absolutely a beautiful view from the restaurant – no doubt about it. The staff are very helpful and does the best they can with what they have to work with. The wait staff, housekeeping, etc. are friendly and attentive. The place is clean. And I enjoyed my food experience.

Now to the challenges: it starts with check-in. The “lobby” is literally a black room with a large rock with a hologram on it (felt Jurassic Park to me). Almost impossible to see given the heavy sunlight outside – not warm or welcoming at all. You are asked at check-in if you want your towels replaced every day (huh – 5 star?) The gym is a joke...old equipment and again I called it the “black box” with zero windows and nice dungeon experience.

The rooms – have you ever had glass ceilings and therefore floors in the upstairs/downstairs in your life? Well you have that here for some reason. Literally the floor separating downstairs from upstairs in the middle of the room is glass - people in the room downstairs can see the people in the upstairs when they are naked getting ready, walking out of the shower, etc. Huh? Oh and the first-floor rooms are blessed with windows into the bathroom that can be seen from outside walkers. Imagine showering and having a casual walker be able to literally walk by and see you naked in the shower. Was this a swingers place back in the day?

The location is remote, which is good and bad. Some might say that is romantic and to an extent it is. However, it is at least 30 minutes from everything else on the island. And to get anywhere you need to be ready for some real bumpy roads in an out (you are driving by the way since there are no Uber’s/taxis). The last mile in and out is a VERY hilly unpaved road. Enjoy!

In summary, this is a 5-start price tag with 3-star amenities at best. If you are looking for 5-start this is not it.

If you’re looking for a nice pool and cute private beach, then this place may be for you but if you want good food and close proximity to anything outside of the hotel…then stay away.

Some of the worst food we’ve ever had at a hotel. Expect things like burgers, pizza and €20+ drinks. The hotel is also 30+ minutes drive from ANYTHING in Milos with taxi prices being €70-100 each way.

There are luxury hotels, and then there are places that leave a lasting impression on your soul. Milos Cove is one of those rare places. My husband and I stayed for four nights, and by the time we left, we were already talking about when we could come back. It wasn’t just our favorite hotel in Greece—it was one of the most unforgettable hotels we’ve ever experienced.
From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had discovered a secret corner of the island. Nestled high above its own secluded cove, Milos Cove offers a level of privacy and tranquility that’s almost impossible to find. It truly feels like your own private paradise.
Our suite was breathtaking. The design perfectly blends luxury with the natural beauty of Milos, incorporating local stone and organic materials that make the room feel elegant without ever feeling overdone. The bedroom was upstairs, overlooking the turquoise Aegean Sea and the hotel’s private cove. Waking up to that view every morning honestly felt surreal. It was, without question, the most spectacular hotel view I’ve ever had.
The bathroom deserves its own paragraph because it was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The shower was the best I’ve ever had in any hotel—powerful water pressure, two oversized rainfall showerheads that made it perfect for couples, and luxurious bath products that smelled incredible. It felt less like a hotel bathroom and more like a five-star spa.
The service was flawless. Every single person we encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to make our stay unforgettable. You never felt like just another guest. The staff remembered us, anticipated our needs, and consistently went above and beyond. Lina and Vangelis stood out as two of the most thoughtful staff members I’ve ever met. Their warmth and hospitality elevated an already incredible stay into something truly special.
The setting is what makes Milos Cove completely magical. Because the hotel sits in a remote part of the island, you escape the crowds entirely. Many afternoons I had the private beach completely to myself—a luxury that’s nearly impossible to find in the Greek Islands during peak season. The silence, interrupted only by the sound of the waves, was pure bliss.
The private cove is, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach on Milos. Since it’s only accessible by hotel guests or by boat, it remains peaceful and pristine. The crystal-clear water is stunning, and the colorful volcanic rocks lining the shoreline are unlike anything we’ve seen before. Milos is rich in volcanic minerals, so every rock seems to have its own unique colors and patterns. Guests spent hours collecting and admiring them—it became one of our favorite unexpected memories from the trip.
One of our favorite experiences was taking a boat tour around the island. Thanks to the hotel’s private dock, our captain picked us up and dropped us off directly at Milos Cove. It couldn’t have been more convenient and made us feel like we were arriving by yacht to our own private resort.
The food deserves every bit of praise it receives. Breakfast was included and was exceptional—an abundant buffet paired with a full à la carte menu that was prepared to order. Every morning felt leisurely and indulgent. Dinner was hands down our favorite meal on the entire island. The restaurant sits dramatically atop the cliffs overlooking the cove and the endless blue Aegean Sea. On beautiful evenings, the retractable roof opens, transforming the restaurant into an open-air dining experience beneath the stars. Between the breathtaking views, impeccable service, and phenomenal cuisine, every dinner felt unforgettable.
Although we didn’t end up booking treatments, we toured the spa and immediately wished we had made the time. Designed to resemble an elegant obsidian cave, it felt peaceful, intimate, and unlike any spa we’ve seen before. I had planned to experience one of their signature bath rituals, but unfortunately ran out of time. Next visit, it’ll be the first thing I book.
Our private plunge pool quickly became one of our favorite places to relax. While it’s not heated, it was still refreshing and comfortable in early July. The staff cleaned it every day, and our patio—with lounge chairs, a dining table, umbrella, and uninterrupted sea views—became the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after exploring the island.
If I had to mention one downside, it’s simply getting there. The hotel is about 20–30 minutes from the port, Plaka, and most other destinations on Milos. The roads are narrow, mostly dirt, steep in sections, and not always well marked. I’d strongly recommend renting an all-wheel-drive vehicle and embracing the adventure. Surprisingly, what initially felt intimidating became part of the charm. Every drive back to Milos Cove felt like returning to a hidden sanctuary that very few people get to experience.
Milos Cove isn’t just a luxury hotel—it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, the crowds disappear, and every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make you feel completely at peace. Between the breathtaking setting, world-class hospitality, incredible food, beautiful accommodations, and the unforgettable private cove, this is one of the most magical places we’ve ever stayed. We only wish we had booked a longer stay.

Lots of sandy beaches to enjoy with beautiful crystal clear water.

Pool, private beach, breakfast, rooms

Incredible experience: the rooms were very comfortable and the dining experience was amazing. The staff was very friendly and accomodating and they made our honeymoon truly special. The recommendations by the concierge were perfect. I would definitely stay there again when given the chance.

Milos Cove is a beautiful and tranquil resort in a remote part of Milos. It has a private rocky beach and pool with spectacular views of The Aegan Sea. It is ideal for special occasions like honeymoons, anniversaries or other celebrations. The staff was exceptional in meeting all of our needs while providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is onsite daily and is a most charming host.
It is a serene environment with premium amenities. The restaurant overlooks the Sea and adjacent mountain where we enjoyed watching goats grazing every day. Sometimes they even come down to the beach or drink out of the pool!
I highly recommend this resort is you are looking for a place to relax in luxury.

Nice hotel, but due to the location I would only stay here at the end of a trip where you plan to just stay on property for 2 days and relax + have stayed somewhere else on Milos at least 1 day closer to the main attractions.
▪ Pro:
• One of the few hotels that has its own beach, though its down a semi-steep dirt path, but they can take you down on golf card. The beach is pebble, common in Europe, but there are basic beach loungers and tiki style umbrellas.
• Incredible views of cliff side going into the ocean and nearby islands.
• Rooms are new and modern, I believe all have a plunge pool.
• Gym & Spa.
▪ Con:
• It is pretty remote from anything else you would want to go to.
• The ~12 minutes leading up to the resort is a windy, steep, dirt/rock road that is very bumpy and at night a little scary. 8 of those 12 minutes is just the driveway to get to the hotel from the ‘main’ road. For this reason we wished we rented a jeep just to do that drive.
• Shower is full glass into the bedroom.
• Breakfast not on par with other European countries but this was consistent across all Greek hotels.
• The décor is very minimalist and modern, but they went too modern with things like lights and facuets that were hard to work
