Infinity Pool Hotels in Mýkonos City
There is exactly one address in Mýkonos City built around a true infinity pool: Vencia Boutique Hotel, set in the Agios Eleftherios district above the town, where the water's edge lines up with the Aegean horizon and, on clear evenings, the sunset drops directly behind it without a building in the way. It is not a large property, and the infinity pool is the reason most people book it rather than an amenity tacked onto a bigger resort somewhere else on the island. Guests trade a five-to-ten-minute uphill walk from Matoyianni for a pool that looks out over open sea rather than a courtyard wall, plus a swim-up bar and spa pool on the same terrace.
Agios Eleftherios sits above the density of central Chóra, close enough to reach Little Venice on foot within ten minutes but quiet enough at night that Vencia Boutique Hotel's pool deck rarely picks up bar noise from Matoyianni below. It is the hillside version of Mykonos: whitewashed and calm during the day, with the town's energy clearly visible below rather than pressing in around every table and lounger the way it does closer to the port. That elevation is a deliberate trade rather than an oversight: hotels here give up some of the town's convenience in exchange for a view that the denser lanes below simply cannot offer.

Where to stay
The one infinity pool in Mýkonos City, and what it trades off
An infinity pool works best somewhere the view genuinely earns it, and Agios Eleftherios does exactly that: the hillside position above Chóra puts Vencia Boutique Hotel's pool edge above the rooftops, with nothing between the water and the Aegean but open air and passing gulls. The trade-off is distance from the harbour bars, which suits travellers who came primarily for the view rather than a quick five-minute stumble home after last orders in town. That trade is worth naming plainly: guests are choosing scenery over proximity, and the property leans into that choice rather than trying to be everything to everyone within the town centre.
Vencia Boutique Hotel positions its infinity pool to catch the sunset directly, and the Karavaki Lounge Bar Restaurant sits close enough to the pool deck that breakfast and dinner both come with the same open sea view stretching to the horizon. Rooms are air-conditioned with light-coloured furnishings, a refrigerator and satellite TV, and the property's swim-up bar means a cold drink does not require ever leaving the water on a hot afternoon in July or August. Breakfast here is served with the same open sea outlook, so the first meal of the day already sets the tone the rest of the stay tries to match, rather than feeling like an afterthought before heading out.
The Agios Eleftherios hillside setting is the trade Vencia asks guests to make: roughly a ten-minute walk down into Chóra for Little Venice and the windmills, or a similar walk back up after a late dinner. In exchange, the infinity pool avoids the street noise that pools closer to Matoyianni deal with after dark, and the sea view stays unobstructed rather than glimpsed in narrow gaps between buildings the way it does closer to the harbour. Guests who prefer to stay near the harbour after dinner rather than climb back uphill should factor the return walk into their evening plans, since taxis are limited on the narrower lanes leading toward Agios Eleftherios.
Because Vencia is currently the only infinity pool option in Mýkonos City, travellers set on this specific feature are effectively choosing this property by default rather than comparing several similar ones side by side. It is worth checking room categories carefully before booking, since balcony views vary noticeably and not every room faces the pool and sea directly, so ask the front desk when booking rather than assuming. Ask about corner or upper-floor categories specifically, since these tend to carry the clearest uninterrupted sightline toward the horizon compared with rooms set further back from the pool terrace itself.
Guests who want an infinity-style view but also want to stay inside the old town for easy nightlife access should compare against the sea-view-pool and spa-pool combos in Mýkonos City instead, both of which also include Vencia alongside other properties positioned closer to Matoyianni's bars, restaurants, and the general evening bustle of central Chóra. The sea-view-pool and spa-pool combos both include Vencia alongside options like Ilio Maris and Andromeda Residence, which sit closer to the harbour if an infinity edge specifically is not the deciding factor for your stay. Both alternatives sit closer to the harbour bars, a genuinely useful comparison if evenings out matter as much to you as the pool itself does.
A traveler's takeWe chose Vencia Boutique Hotel for the sunset alone, and the infinity edge delivered exactly what the photos promised: water and sky lining up with barely a visible seam between them each evening. The uphill walk to Little Venice took about ten minutes each way, manageable but worth factoring honestly into how many nights out you actually plan around dinner reservations. If proximity to Matoyianni's bars matters more to you than the view itself, I would look at a sea-view-pool hotel closer to the centre instead of the hillside.
Local tips
- 1Book directly with Vencia Boutique Hotel if the infinity pool is your absolute priority; it is the only property in Mýkonos City with this exact feature.
- 2Ask about room category carefully before booking, since not every room has a direct sea and pool view despite the property's hillside setting.
- 3Plan for a ten-minute uphill walk back from Little Venice or Matoyianni after dinner, or budget for a short taxi instead.
- 4Visit the pool around sunset for the best light on the infinity edge, then move to the Karavaki Lounge Bar Restaurant for dinner with the same view.
- 5Pack for wind on the terrace; the hillside position that gives you the view also catches more of the meltemi than sheltered courtyard pools down in town.
- 6Book shoulder season, May-June or September-October, for a calmer pool deck and better sunset visibility with fewer hazy summer afternoons blocking the horizon.
