Best Jacuzzi Hotels in Platis Yialos
A jacuzzi is the easy way to extend a beach day in Platis Yialos once the sun starts dropping and the tavernas along Platys Gialos fill up for dinner. Kamari Hotel keeps a spa tub alongside its main and children's pools, a few metres from the sand, while Palladium Hotel and Spa and Nissaki Boutique Hotel both pair a jacuzzi with fuller spa facilities higher up the hillside. Any of the three works as a way to unwind after a day on the beach or a taxi-boat trip toward the livelier beach clubs further along the coast, without needing to drive into Chora, about four kilometres away, for an evening out. Between them, the three properties cover most of what a jacuzzi stay in this part of Mykonos can look like.
Platis Yialos slows down noticeably once the beach crowd thins in late afternoon, and that's when its jacuzzi hotels come into their own. It's not a spa-resort destination in the way some parts of Mykonos market themselves, more a beach base where the hot tub is a practical end to the day than a headline feature. The hillside hotels keep this low-key tone even at the higher end: Palladium's jacuzzis sit within a proper spa, but the area as a whole stays closer to Kamari's simpler, beachfront version of the same idea, and that range is part of what makes Platis Yialos work for different kinds of travellers.

Where to Find a Jacuzzi in Platis Yialos
After a day walking between Platys Gialos beach, the jetty, and the hillside terraces above it, a jacuzzi is a genuinely useful amenity rather than a luxury add-on, especially once the meltemi has been blowing sand around all afternoon. Kamari Hotel's spa tub sits close to the beach for exactly that reason, while Palladium and Nissaki fold their jacuzzis into wider spa circuits for a longer wind-down. All three sit within a short walk of Platys Gialos, so the jacuzzi rounds off a beach day rather than replacing it, which is really the point of having one on a stay built mostly around the sand.
Kamari Hotel keeps its spa tub just metres from Platys Gialos beach, alongside the main outdoor pool and a separate children's pool, which makes it the simplest option if you want a jacuzzi without booking a full spa stay. The poolside bar is a few steps away too, so an evening soak can come with a drink in hand, and the whole setup stays close enough to the sand that you're never far from the beach itself if the mood changes, which suits a stay where the jacuzzi is a bonus rather than the main reason for booking.
Palladium Hotel and Spa takes the jacuzzi further, pairing it with a proper spa, sauna, and fitness centre, plus indoor and outdoor heated pools on the hillside above the beach. It suits travellers who want the jacuzzi as part of a longer wellness routine rather than a quick soak after the beach, and the property also offers private-pool suites for guests who would rather skip the shared jacuzzi deck on at least some evenings of the stay, a useful option for a longer trip built mostly around the spa rather than a single dip after a day at the beach.
Nissaki Boutique Hotel's exterior hot tub looks out over Psarou Beach and the Aegean from its hillside terrace, a scenic option if the view matters as much as the water temperature. It sits alongside the hotel's indoor and sea-view pools, a short walk from Platys Gialos beach itself, and the boutique scale of the property keeps the jacuzzi feeling more private than a large-resort version of the same amenity, which many guests notice as soon as they arrive, and it stays true whether you book for one night or a full week on this stretch of coast.
All three hotels are close enough to the jetty that a jacuzzi evening can follow a daytime taxi-boat trip toward the livelier beach clubs further along the coast without much planning. Chora and Mykonos Airport are both about four kilometres and ten minutes away, so the jacuzzi doesn't have to compete with a long transfer at either end of the trip, and Psarou is close enough to add a lunch there before heading back to soak, so a jacuzzi evening rarely needs its own separate day of planning, fitting naturally into whatever the rest of the itinerary already looks like.
A traveler's takeAfter a windy afternoon at one of the beach clubs further along the coast, we came back to Kamari Hotel and went straight for the spa tub before dinner. It's nothing elaborate, just a hot tub a few metres from Platys Gialos beach, but after a day of sand and taxi-boats it was exactly what we wanted.

Local tips
- 1Pick Kamari Hotel for a simple beachfront jacuzzi, or Palladium and Nissaki if you want it paired with a full spa.
- 2Time your jacuzzi soak for late afternoon, after the meltemi has usually calmed, for the most comfortable outdoor session.
- 3Book a spa treatment alongside the jacuzzi at Palladium Hotel and Spa if you're planning a full wellness afternoon.
- 4Ask for a hillside room at Nissaki Boutique Hotel if the sea view over Psarou matters as much as the hot tub itself.
- 5Combine a jacuzzi evening with dinner at your hotel; the short walk to Platys Gialos beach tavernas is easy but a car helps for Chora.
- 6Jacuzzi hours can run shorter outside July and August at some properties, so confirm timing directly with the hotel for a shoulder-season stay.
