Koukoumi Vegan Boutique Hotel

Außergewöhnliches Hotel! Das Frühstück war hervorragend, das Personal mehr als freundlich und zuvorkommend, sie waren immer hilfsbereit und für jede Situation hatten sie eine Lösung. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Freundlichkeit ist nicht aufgesetzt, sondern wirklich authentisch. Die Hotelmanagerin ist extrem bemüht und hat sich auch persönlich vorgestellt und mit uns getratscht, es war als ob man in eine Familie aufgenommen werden würde. Alle waren auch zu meiner Nichte (9M) extrem lieb! Sie hat sich immer sehr über alle dort gefreut! Die Menschen machen diesen Ort nochmal zu etwas ganz besonderem <3

Die Yoga Einheiten sind auch extrem gut! In der Früh die Yoga Einheiten von Alex sind etwas entspannter und auch sehr gut für Anfänger geeignet. Die Yoga Einheiten am Abend mit Aris sind hervorragend und besonders für Leute mit einer bereits bestehenden Yogapraxis nochmal sehr wertvoll.

Der Fitnessraum war für mich persönlich top eingerichtet, es war alles da, was ich für ein Training benötige. Reck, Langhantel, Kurzhanteln, Ringe, Matten, Wallballs, Box, Rudergerät, Bike... man kann sich da wirklich sehr gut austoben. Auch ein Laufband wurde angeschafft und jedes Feedback wird wertschätzend angenommen.

Die Zimmer sind schlicht, aber sehr geschmackvoll und elegant eingerichtet. Man hat genügend Platz und es sind auch Fliegengitter angebracht. Kühlschrank ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Das Bett war sehr gemütlich und ich habe hervorragend geschlafen.

Der Außenbereich mit Pool und Liegen ist ebenfalls top. Klein aber fein und man hat verschiedene Sitz-/Liegemöglichkeiten.

Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb vom Zentrum von Mykonos, wir hatten ein Mietauto, das war auf jeden Fall sinnvoll und dadurch konnten wir auch jederzeit ins Zentrum fahren, das ca. 15 Min. entfernt ist.

We decided to spend our honeymoon with Koukoumi and it was the best decision! Starting from the location, very welcoming and relaxing with a touch of luxury. The entire week has been regenerative, with the days spent by the pool on some of the nicest and comfiest sits/chairs I've ever experienced in vacation. The evenings were even more exciting because we knew we were about to try more dishes from the menu! Every dinner felt like a Michelin star experience, from the lovely and attentive staff (shout-out to Luca and team!!) to the spectacularly curated seasonal flavours in every dish. If you are visiting during SS26 I recommend the Sinless Memory and the Surf and Turf (the last one is addicting). A lovely selection of homemade soft-drinks and cocktails, with a good selection for the wine-list, local to what the area has to offer. The breakfast was also very impressive, a whole buffet completely vegan! Both sweet and savour selection tends to slightly change every morning ( I guess that's a way for the kitchen to minimalise waste, which is admirable and can get very creative at times!)

We also had the change to talk with the owner (she's very friendly and always roaming around most days) and you can tell that the entire koukoumi project was very curated and designed to stand-out from the rest of the island. Mykonos is known for big parties and roasted meat, koukoumi is the exception with a relaxing atmosphere and services, wrapped in a eco-friendly and deliciously vegan entity.

The placement of the hotel is a bit tricky (but that's just the layout of the isaldn) if you don't feel confident in driving (like myself) but with a bit of planning you can reach the old town for the more touristy bits, by bus from Ano Mera.

Again, a huge thank you for the entire staff for making our honeymoon so special and memorable, we can't wait to be back!

We were met at the airport (transfer included in the price) and 20 minutes later had a warm welcome at the hotel. Special mention to Dimitri for being super friendly and knowledgeable about where to go when we hired the car.

Location is good - near a small supermarket and bakery (which did excellent vegan mushroom or leek pie for 3 Euros). It is 1.5 miles to the nearest beach which is sandy and has two beach restaurants on it - the open one was very expensive but ok for a refreshing beer.
We hired a car via the hotel for 50 Euros per day and spent one day at Mykonos Town which we loved and one day visiting the rest of the island.

Breakfast was amazing. Lots of hot and cold, sweet and savoury delights. Great coffee (although we had to keep reminding them to make the cappuccino HOT) and fresh orange juice. Service was always good if Francesca was there (otherwise not so good).

Dinner was also excellent- we tried everything off the menu and the flavours are divine. Again service was good if Luka was there…if he was not there, then not so good. We had the wrong food delivered three times (in 5 nights) and once got our main course before the starter. The staff (other than Luka) seemed uncertain which table was which and what the dishes looked like. Once we waited over 30 minutes for dessert. Hopefully this will improve in time as the staff were all friendly and no doubt will improve.

There was also the issue that whilst delicious, the portions are small. This is ok except there was no option for a side dish of bread or vegetables for example. The seitan steak for example was lovely and came with a slice of potato but that was it. Also whilst the lovely minty water was available on the first night from the jug, after that we were not allowed as it was deemed too “unsightly” to pour free water from a nice jug, but ok to pay for bottled water! Just seemed a little penny pinching.

Our room was great. Good size, nice shower and separate toilet. Cleaned every day to a high standard. The fridge was not cold however, so we asked how to turn it up and were told it is a set temperature- which was room temperature! So the maintenance man gave us another, which was the same. I am sure he would have changed it again but perhaps they are all the same.

We had a lovely private veranda with a hot tub which we used each day and a hammock. Bed was super comfy too.

So overall very good just need some training in the restaurant to get the service to match the quality of food. But again special thanks to Dimitri, Luka and Francesca who really stood out to us.

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.

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.

The staff, restaurant and general relaxed atmosphere were great.

Serene and tranquil on an island oftentimes known for the opposite

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
