Hotels in Klouvas
Klouvas is a small inland hamlet on Mykonos, tucked between Chóra and the village of Ano Mera. There's no beach on-site; instead it works as a calm base for exploring the island by car or scooter, close to Mykonos Airport. Le Palme Mykonos, the area's family-friendly pool hotel, sits about 2 km from the airport and 3 km from Ftelia Beach.
Klouvas doesn't sit on the coast; it's a hamlet in the hills between Chóra and Ano Mera, which makes it less about a single beach and more about a starting point for the rest of Mykonos. That inland position keeps it away from the beach-club crowds and the nightlife around Matoyianni, while still leaving the island's main sights within a short drive. Le Palme Mykonos, the pool hotel behind Klouvas' listing here, backs that role up with family rooms, a kids' pool and an outdoor play area alongside its main pool and hot tub, and sits close enough to the airport, about 2 km, to work as a first or last-night base too. Ftelia Beach, a windsurfing spot on the north coast, is roughly 3 km away, and Chóra itself is a short drive in the other direction.
Klouvas in numbers
What to expect
- An inland hamlet between Chóra and Ano Mera, built more around a quiet base than a beach.
- Le Palme Mykonos, the area's family pool hotel, with a kids' pool and outdoor play area alongside the main pool.
- About 2 km from Mykonos Airport, useful for a first or last-night stay.
- Roughly 3 km from Ftelia Beach, a windsurfing spot on the island's north coast.
- No beach or nightlife on-site, so a rental car or scooter matters more here than in Chóra.
Local tips
- Rent a car or scooter as soon as you arrive; Klouvas has no beach or town center of its own, so getting around is part of the plan here.
- Book Le Palme Mykonos if you're travelling with kids: the family rooms, kids' pool and outdoor play area are built for that, unlike some of the adults-only options closer to the coast.
- Use the roughly 2 km distance to Mykonos Airport if you need a low-stress first or last night on the island.
- Head to Ftelia Beach, about 3 km away, for windsurfing or a change of pace from the pool; it's known for wind rather than calm water.
- Expect the outdoor pool and hot tub to be seasonal, generally closed through winter; confirm exact dates with the hotel if travelling outside summer.
- Keep Chóra's restaurants and shops on your list for an evening out, since Klouvas itself is quiet after dark.

FAQ
Is Klouvas near a beach?
Not directly. Klouvas is an inland hamlet, with the nearest beach, Ftelia, about 3 km away. It works better as a base for exploring Mykonos by car than as a beach destination in its own right.
Is Klouvas good for families?
Yes, more so than some of Mykonos's coastal hotspots. Le Palme Mykonos, the pool hotel here, has family rooms, a kids' pool and an outdoor play area alongside its main outdoor pool and hot tub.
How far is Klouvas from Mykonos Airport?
Le Palme Mykonos sits about 2 km from Mykonos Airport (JMK), based on the hotel's own listing. That makes Klouvas a practical option for a first or last night close to your flight.
Do I need a car to stay in Klouvas?
Effectively yes. Klouvas is an inland hamlet without its own beach or town center, so a rental car or scooter makes it much easier to reach Chóra, Ano Mera or the coast.
Is the pool at Le Palme Mykonos open year-round?
It isn't. Like most outdoor pools on Mykonos, it closes for winter, generally reopening in spring and running through the autumn. Confirm exact dates with the hotel if you're travelling outside the summer months.
What's close to Klouvas besides the airport?
Ftelia Beach, a windsurfing spot on the north coast, is about 3 km away, and both Chóra and the village of Ano Mera are a short drive in either direction, since Klouvas sits between them.
