The concept was to create an enclosed space for the visitors to protect them from the wind and expose them to the sun according to the bioclimatic design. This luxury hotel in the island of Mykonos explore all the aspects of an integrated design, such as bioclimatic design, lighting design, building design, green design and sustainability in order to produce both an aesthetically and operative building in a natural protective site. Koukoumi 5* hotel, the 1st and only vegan hotel in Greece. Koukoumi in Myconian dialect means sheltered from the wind a cozy place for snuggling.
Situated in the heart of the island, in the traditional village of Ano Mera, Koukoumi was created to be a peaceful sanctuary for the sophisticated traveller. In this setting we tried to bring a breath of fresh air in hospitality, to show a more intimate side of the island and promote a new life philosophy. We can enjoy life without harming animals, the environment or ourselves. A vegan will feel at home here and every one can try out an alternative and peaceful way of being, satisfying at the same time all their senses. Respecting the principles of Authenticity, Simplicity and Balance we offer an impeccable standard of service, while allowing the guest to lie back, relax and enjoy a healthy and harmonious accommodation.
