Cavo Tagoo Mykonos
Tap a star to rate
Cavo Tagoo sits on a high perch above Mykonos Town, and its most iconic feature is the infinity pool that appears to spill directly into the Aegean Sea two hundred meters below. The property has made itself famous for this pool and for the aquarium bar embedded beneath its surface, a space where you can order cocktails while surrounded by the resort's saltwater aquarium. For honeymooners, the real centerpiece is the Honeymoon Suite with Private Pool, a spacious, open-plan bedroom and living area with its own secluded infinity pool overlooking the sea. It is one of the most photographed honeymoon accommodations on the island, and that reputation is not entirely a marketing exercise; the suite genuinely is designed for two people who want privacy, a pool, and a view without leaving their room.
The Honeymoon Suite at Cavo Tagoo is positioned at the property's upper tier in terms of pricing, which reflects both its size and its exclusive amenities. The suite is open-plan, meaning the bedroom, living area, and bathroom flow into each other without doors between them, which works brilliantly if you are honeymooning but would feel cramped if you were traveling with business associates. The terrace is the real estate here: the private pool is large enough to actually swim in, not merely float in, and the views of the Aegean and the coastline extend across a genuinely broad horizon. Unlike rooms that merely have a balcony facing the sea, the Honeymoon Suite's setting creates a sense of being perched on your own private cliff with the sea directly below. The pool is heated, which matters on Mykonos because the sea temperature even in summer can feel surprisingly cool after sunset when you are not actively swimming.
Cavo Tagoo offers other room categories as well: Junior Suites with Outdoor Hot Tubs, Suites with Private Pools, and the property's cave pool suites, which are literally built into caves and access their own pools through cave-like openings. These alternatives run between fifteen hundred and twenty-four hundred dollars per night depending on the season, with the signature Honeymoon Suite occupying a similar price band. The property publishes a luxury honeymoon package which includes champagne welcome service, romantic turndown, and room upgrades where available, though the package price is not separately itemized on the booking pages. You negotiate this when you reserve.
The sunset on Mykonos is different from Santorini in a crucial way: the sun sets over the Aegean to the west, and the island itself does not rise up to block the view the way the caldera does elsewhere. Cavo Tagoo's positioning means that sunset unfolds across the open water, and the property leans heavily into this event. The infinity pool becomes a sunset-viewing platform, and the on-site restaurants arrange their seating and table arrangements to optimize views during the critical hour. If you want dinner on your private terrace, the resort can arrange that as well, and the kitchen will deliver meal service to your suite. Sunset dining on the Honeymoon Suite's terrace, with your own pool and the Aegean beyond, is exactly the honeymoon experience many couples come to Mykonos to find. The cost is additional to the room rate, but the logistics are straightforward and the execution is reliable.
Mykonos has a reputation as a destination for upscale nightlife and clubs, and Cavo Tagoo is not far from the action, but it is far enough away and positioned high enough that you are not inside the nightlife zone unless you choose to be. The property has its own restaurants and bar scene, centered around that aquarium bar and the main dining areas overlooking the infinity pool. Couples honeymooning at Cavo Tagoo report a mix of evening experiences: some nights they dine at the resort and watch the sunset from the pool deck, other nights they venture into Mykonos Town for dinner and drinks and return to the quiet of the Honeymoon Suite afterward. The property itself does not create a barrier to either choice; it simply sits at a comfortable remove from the island's peak nightlife zones while being close enough that an evening out takes twenty minutes by car rather than an hour.
The property facilitates proposals, and this is explicitly published on the resort's website and social media. Couples planning a proposal can contact Cavo Tagoo to arrange a private setup with candlelight, flowers, and exclusive use of a specific resort space. Wedding ceremonies are offered as well, though the logistical and legal framework is more complex than simple proposals. The property can help coordinate with local authorities for a civil ceremony, though the timeline and paperwork will depend on your citizenship, your documentation, and Greek residency requirements. A symbolic wedding blessing is simpler and does not require the same legal footprint. Couples interested in either should inquire directly and plan for at least a few weeks of advance coordination if a legal marriage is the goal.
Getting to Mykonos requires flying to Athens (ATH) and then taking a connecting flight to Mykonos's airport (JMK), which is roughly thirty to forty minutes from the capital, depending on the specific flight. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from Athens's port, which is slower but more economical. Most honeymoon couples flying from the United States will prefer the air routing: an overnight transatlantic flight into Athens, a connection of a few hours, and then an onward flight to Mykonos. Total travel time from the US is typically sixteen to twenty hours when flights align well. The Honeymoon Suite is a destination worth that travel investment, and the property arranges airport pickups, which simplifies the arrival day logistics.
The Mykonos season runs from April through November, with peak crowds and prices arriving in July and August. The meltemi wind, which blows from the north in summer months, reaches Mykonos with more force than it does in other parts of the Cyclades, so June and September are often favored by honeymooners who want warm water and good weather without the strongest winds. The water is swimmable from May onward, and it remains so through October. Many couples find the shoulder months, particularly June and September, offer the optimal balance of weather, crowds, and pricing.
Cavo Tagoo's Honeymoon Suite is a honeymoon destination in its own right, and many couples plan their Mykonos stay entirely around the experience of having that specific room. The private pool, the sea view, and the proximity to the island's most recognized resort landmark (the main infinity pool with its aquarium bar) mean you are simultaneously in a private sanctuary and within minutes of Mykonos's most famous resort amenities. The setting leans sophisticated rather than beachy; this is an upscale clifftop experience, not a shore-hugging barefoot retreat. If you want a private pool with a view, easy access to excellent dining and nightlife, and accommodations designed specifically for honeymooning couples, Cavo Tagoo delivers exactly that. The cost is substantial, but the property's reputation among honeymooners is durable, and the Honeymoon Suite justifies that reputation through both its design and its execution. Couples who book this suite tend to spend multiple evenings in their room, swimming in their private pool and watching the light change over the Aegean, which is precisely what a honeymoon suite should enable you to do.
