Gay Holiday: Boutique Resorts for Men

Casa Alexio is one of a few men-only hotels on the island. Open year-round, the property is a welcoming retreat with 13 designer rooms dotted around the garden that can accommodate up to three people. Common amenities include a central villa, a pool, hot tub, chill out area and a terrace with beautiful island and old city views. Clothing optional.

Gay-owned and managed, Elysium Hotel has long been a gay man's destination, overlooking Mykonos town and the Aegean Sea, a location that makes for spectacular sunset views accompanied by drag shows and DJ sets. Although the property first opened in 1989, rooms have since been updated and enlarged, and all are stylishly appointed. Amenities include an outdoor pool, an indoor hot tub, a dry sauna, a health spa and a busy pool bar. Nude poolside bathing is optional. Rates vary by season.
