Cyclades, luxury and design

Hotel Lovia Mykonos offers guests poolside relaxation on the Milos furniture collection by Vondom. With views of the Chora of Mykonos

A perfect union between design and nature. Overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Hotel Lovia Mykonos is located a short walk from the characteristic windmills of the famous Cyclades island and offers breathtaking views of the island’s “Chora” (the main town) with its typical white architecture sloping down to the sea, the sunset and the nearby island of Delos. In addition to the 25 rooms and suites designed for comfort and relaxation, the hotel has a wide range of services including a restaurant, bar, wellness center, equipped gym, meeting room, playroom, infinity pools, and private hot tubs.

In particular, the new outdoor furniture system with soft and organic lines from the Milos collection – real islands of comfort designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Vondom – accentuates relaxation by the pool, allowing guests to fully enjoy the sun, breeze and sunsets. The natural shapes and warm tones of the collection – iroko wood for the legs, Glad Desert fabric for the upholstery, cream finishes for the aluminum structures, light cement for the tables – give a unique look to the whole, blending perfectly with the surrounding landscape.

Each piece is a tribute to the harmony between contemporary design and nature, between aesthetics and practicality. “For my new collaboration with Vondom, I wanted to evoke the original identity of this brand born between the sea and the mountains of Valencia,” says Jean-Marie Massaud.
