Opened on the 2nd June 2025, the Minnŏ Boutique Hotel & Spa feels like a fresh new chapter for Skopelos. This is a hotel that blends contemporary elegance with the island’s timeless charm.
Skopelos itself is a jewel of the Northern Sporades. Known for its emerald pine forests, shimmering seas and whitewashed buildings. The Minnŏ captures the spirit of the island beautifully, offering a refined yet relaxed retreat for travellers seeking comfort, tranquillity and an authentic Greek atmosphere.
First Impressions
From the very first glance, Minnŏ impresses. Its fashionable exterior gives way to thoughtfully designed public spaces where modern architecture meets natural materials. Clean lines, soft lighting and touches of greenery create a calm, stylish environment that feels instantly welcoming.
Inside, a display case of books and local ceramics (www.rodiospottery.com) sets the tone — contemporary luxury rooted in place. High-quality wooden and glass sliding doors connect the reception and indoor/outdoor bar seamlessly to the terrace and pool area, allowing island light and sea air to flow freely.
The overall atmosphere is polished yet unpretentious, relaxed but clearly considered.
Reception & Welcome
The reception area is bright, chic and inviting, but it’s the staff including George the owner, who truly elevate the experience. Warm, polite and genuinely friendly — with a refreshing sense of humour — they make check-in smooth and effortless.
Formalities such as passport details are handled quickly and efficiently, leaving you free to start enjoying your stay almost immediately. A lift in the main building adds further convenience.
The Bar
Opposite the reception, Minnŏ’s bar is a stylish social hub that effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Designed with both comfort and atmosphere in mind, it features sleek bar stools inside and out, inviting guests to settle in at any time of day.
The drinks selection is impressively wide, offering a carefully curated range of local and international spirits, wines and beers. Perfect whether you’re in the mood for a classic cocktail or something with a distinctly Greek twist. It’s an ideal spot for a pre-dinner aperitif, a relaxed afternoon drink, or a final nightcap under the stars.
What truly elevates the experience, however, are the fabulous views across to Skopelos Town. As daylight fades and the town lights begin to twinkle, the bar becomes one of the most atmospheric places in the hotel — a wonderful setting to unwind, linger, and soak up the magic of the island.

Dining & Breakfast
The onsite restaurant delivers a creative and delicious take on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, using fresh, local ingredients throughout.
