Linked by a network of cobbled pathways, Mystique’s 41 Suites and Villas, two swimming pools, rejuvenating Elios Spa, state-of-the-art gym, all feature panoramic sea views across to the active volcano that has shaped this exceptional island and are finely tuned to the desires of today’s modern explorers.
In acknowledgement of the evolving needs of the modern traveller, who is prioritizing space and seclusion, Mystique’s ultra-luxury Villas are sensitively designed to delight guests with the natural beauty of the Caldera Cliffs with generous indoor and outdoor living space, replete with the unparalleled services and amenities of the hotel.
