Tucked into the hillside overlooking the charming whitewashed lanes of Skopelos Town, Minno Boutique Hotel & Spa is redefining luxury on this lush Greek island. Newly opened yet already hailed as the island’s finest boutique stay, Minno is the perfect blend of stylish design, personalized service, and unmistakable Greek warmth that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive.
The hotel’s location could hardly be better — perched just ten minutes’ walk from Skopelos’ port and main happening, with sweeping views over the pretty terracotta rooftops and the harbor below. From your balcony, the town unfolds like a scene from a postcard: bright fishing boats bob in the turquoise water, church bells echo across the hillside, and the pine-draped slopes of Skopelos rise all around.
Inside, Minno Boutique Hotel feels effortlessly fresh and intimate. Every corner is thoughtfully designed with soft Cycladic tones, natural textures, and modern touches that never overpower the island’s laid-back spirit. It’s boutique hospitality at its best — small enough to feel personal, yet spacious enough to offer true privacy and indulgence.
Our stay at Minno was made even more unforgettable by choosing two of its most exquisite accommodations: the suite with the private pool and the suite with the private jacuzzi. Waking up to a morning dip in your own pool, with views sweeping across the sea beyond, is something that stays with you long after you’ve packed your bags. In the evening, sinking into a bubbling jacuzzi under the stars, with the twinkling lights of Skopelos Town on the horizon, feels like your own private Greek island fairytale.
And while the suites alone are worth the trip, Minno’s restaurant raises the bar even higher. Quickly earning a reputation as the island’s best, its Michelin-like approach marries the flavors of local Skopelos produce with creative Mediterranean and international twists. Expect plates that are as beautiful as they are delicious: vibrant salads drizzled with local olive oil, freshly caught fish delicately balanced with herbs from the island’s hills and desserts that feel like art on a plate. Every bite tells a story of Skopelos — fresh, authentic, and sophisticated.
Breakfast at Minno Boutique Hotel is an experience in itself, served leisurely with a spread of handmade pastries, local cheeses, fresh fruit, and eggs cooked to perfection. It’s the perfect fuel for exploring Skopelos — or for a day spent doing absolutely nothing by the pool.
No stay here would be complete without a visit to Minno’s spa, which is already setting a new standard for wellness on the island. This serene sanctuary offers a full menu of treatments: deep-tissue massages, luxurious facials, detoxifying body wraps, and personalized rituals designed to soothe both body and mind. The therapists are true professionals — warm, attentive, and intuitive. After a long day of island-hopping or hiking Skopelos’ lush trails, there’s no better feeling than sinking into a treatment room and letting the world slip away.
And what a world it is outside those spa doors. Skopelos may not be as internationally famous as Santorini or Mykonos, but its quiet beauty is exactly what makes it so special.
This is the island that captured the hearts of millions when the movie Mamma Mia! was filmed here, and it’s easy to see why. The landscape is uniquely lush for the Cyclades — dense pine forests roll down to hidden coves, olive groves blanket the hillsides, and the microclimate keeps everything unusually green year-round. The waters here are among the clearest in the Aegean — beaches like Kastani, Milia, and Panormos shimmer in every shade of blue.
Beyond the beaches, Skopelos is rich in authenticity. Its labyrinthine old town is a delight to wander, with whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea and secret courtyards blooming with jasmine. Small family-run tavernas and cafés spill out onto cobbled squares, where locals linger over coffees and fresh pastries. Just offshore lies the National Marine Park of Northern Sporades — Greece’s largest marine protected area and home to monk seals, dolphins, and vibrant underwater life.
It’s this blend of wild beauty and untouched charm that makes Skopelos so appealing — and why a stay at Minno Boutique Hotel & Spa feels like having the best of the island at your fingertips. Whether you’re looking to sink into a massage after a day exploring hidden beaches, indulge in one of the best meals you’ll find in Skopelos, or simply float in your private pool while watching the sun dip behind the hills, Minno makes it all effortlessly possible.
Already, Minno has begun to attract travelers who want more than just another beach holiday. It’s the kind of place that calls to couples seeking romance, friends celebrating a special escape, or anyone looking for a place where thoughtful luxury meets the unspoiled magic of a Greek island that still feels like a secret.
In every sense, Minno Boutique Hotel & Spa isn’t just the best boutique hotel on Skopelos — it’s a reason in itself to visit this dreamy island in the first place. For those who come, one thing is certain: it won’t be the last time you find yourself here, under the pines, beside the sea, discovering that sometimes the best secrets are the ones you share.
