Nice to haves

With classic Greek style, this charming villa with its whitewashed walls provides a beautiful contrast to the brilliant blue skies overhead. Compact in nature, it still packs a punch and offers a peaceful retreat on the Mykonian coast. Start your day with a morning swim, cutting through the cool blue water of the private pool as the sun begins to climb into the sky and warm your skin. Suitably refreshed and awake, lay on a breakfast spread for loved ones on the terrace, where you can tuck into your food and cup of coffee as you drink in the sea views stretching before you. 

For a laid-back villa day, recline on a poolside lounger as you flick through the pages of a magazine or catch up on your latest podcast. If you’re planning a trip out, we recommend visiting nearby Elia beach. Whether you choose to swim in the sea, sunbathe on the sand or get the adrenaline pumping with some water sports, it’s a perfect way to spend the day.

Over the hillside and just 900 metres away from Elia beach, this Mykonos villa boasts breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. So whether you're outside by the pool, relaxing at the terrace lounge area or curled up on the sofa in the living room –  you'll get to take in the panoramic blue vistas all day long. 

Designed with the surrounding natural environment in mind, the space aligns perfectly with the Mkykonian landscape and permits guests to unplug and tune in with the home's blissful setting. 

When it comes to mealtimes, there is no better place than outside at the alfresco dining area on the covered terrace, where the abundance of Mediterranean flora and fauna fragrances the air with its aromas. So light up the barbecue and serve some fresh local fish for a delicious lunchtime feast overlooking the seascape. 

If you're travelling with kids, this place has you covered as there is a designated play area equipped with toys for young children to enjoy as you please. Furthermore, since the area is fenced, young children will be free to roam freely around the space at their own devices without parents fearing little ones escaping to explore other areas of the villa at any time. 

When you are ready to take soal up some local culture, you'll be pleased to know that the villa is positioned just 3 kilometres away from the traditional village of Ano Mera. Meanwhile, you'll also be only 10 kilometres away from Mykonos Town – with an abundance of boutique shops, bars and restaurants waiting to be experienced.

If you love sunsets in the sea-breeze, swimming sessions blending into outdoor-barbecue, and star gazing from the hot-tub, wine in hand, this home will tick many boxes. Not only can you lounge all day in a tranquil and scenic hideout in Mykonos, you are just a stroll from the beaches of  Elia, Kalo Livadi and Kalafatis. While Mykonos can satiate you with parties, shopping and galleries, Ano Mera is a more atmospheric town with cafes, cobbled streets and historic architecture. A pro-tip, visit some of the microbreweries around to fill your ears with legends about the region over mugs of wine-barrel aged beers.

Undoubtedly, this is one of the most impressive properties in Mykonos. With two whitewashed villas, two pools, two gyms, compelling panoramic views across the Aegean, and an outdoor dining casita – this villa is a showstopper. Inside, it's a vision of its own, with luxurious furnishings, polished concrete floors and traditional beamed ceilings. Get set to escape reality and embrace island life as you retreat to this sensational Greek oasis.

The entertaining spaces are idyllic for the whole group to spend time together – soak up the sun on the sleek loungers, plunge into the shimmering pool or gather on the sofas under the pergola – don’t forget to serve up some margaritas and hit play on the sound system. There are also opportunities for privacy here – dreamy minimalist bedrooms with resort-like ensuites, plush living areas, and secluded nesting spots under the shade of the beams. After a day poolside and now completely sunkissed, head to your outdoor dining room in the casita for a Greek feast prepared by a private chef. And as the golden sky turns inky blue, head to the outdoor lounge to sip sundowners and socialise.

We can’t imagine you’ll want to leave your slice of paradise, but if you do, Elia Beach is minutes away. If you’re looking to have a night out, the sophisticated vibes of Mykonos Town can be found just 14km away.

Mixing traditional features and modern accessories, this home is a perfect balance of old and new. Positioned high up in the hills above Elia, you can watch the sun melt into the Mediterranean at sunset, enjoy breathtaking views from the pool or relax in the chic bedrooms. Below sit an array of white, sandy beaches and rocky coves – something for everyone. Choose to spend quality time at home or explore the island and all it has to offer, we would just recommend having a car in order to make it easier to get around.

With Greecian white and organic stone walls, this modern villa fits seamlessly into the rocky landscape. Looking out from the balcony you'll be presented with uninterrupted views of the sea dotted with fishing boats and yachts. The best way to enjoy the view is by swimming toward the edge of the infinity pool, giving the illusion that you could swim straight into the sea. The style and grace of this villa create a relaxing escape within walking distance to the beach. The nearest beach, Elia Beach is popular with holidaymakers where you'll find stylish bars, restaurants and water sports centres.   

The Shape Of Stone

Fireplace

Light, bright and glam, this stylish villa is just the ticket for a Mykonos getaway. The panoramic views across the Aegean are unforgettable, and you'll be able to take full advantage of the sweeping scenery on the terrace. Whether you're cooling off in the infinity pool, lazing underneath swaying palm trees or sipping tea on the balcony, the glistening ocean is your backdrop – what can be better than that?

We like the interior here too, which mixes old-world Grecian charm with contemporary comforts. Each bedroom has its own personality – one is decorated in zebra prints, another features exposed stone – and local artwork adorns the walls in every room. On chilly evenings, snuggle up on the squishy sofa and play a film on the Apple TV in the living room – you can even turn on the fire for extra cosiness – while the grey kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up dinner. 

Or, instead of cooking, sample the local cuisine at the lively tavernas in Elia, only a short drive away. There you'll find a famous beach as well as a watersports centre where you can try windsurfing or water-skiing. For a change of scenery, hop on the taxi boat (called a 'caique') and explore other beaches along the Mykonos coast, including Paradise and Platis Gialos.

Dappled Palms

Treat your favourite people to a fabulous getaway on the Greek island of Mykonos. This home is a perfect sanctuary where you'll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – if you're craving a restorative break by the sea, this is the place for you. 

The Cycladic style of architecture which has made this part of the world so famous is evident throughout the villa. Outside, you'll notice the natural stone, white-washed walls, and flat roof typical of buildings on Mykonos. Step inside, and there are wooden ceilings, organic shapes, and a calming colour scheme with the occasional hint of blue reminding you that the sea isn't far away. On hot afternoons, you can plunge into the swimming pool for a refreshing dip, then dry off on a lounger as you admire the panoramic views. And, when evening rolls around, dine on local fare under the pergola as you plan the day to come. 

Elia Beach is less than two kilometres away, and is a popular spot for sunbathing and frolicking in the surf. Lively Kalo Livadi and Kalafatis, beloved by families, are also close by, and offer crystal clear waters and golden sand. And, with Mykonos Town just ten kilometres away, you won't run out of things to do – indulge in some retail therapy, dine on fresh seafood, and end the day with a delicious cocktail. 

Fresh Mineral Water

Sun-soaked and filled with the refreshing spirit of the Aegean Sea, this whitewashed home sets the tone for a dreamy stay on the southern shores of Mykonos. 

Welcomed by expansive views across the glistening shoreline, you’ll find yourself quickly transported to the height of relaxation. From slow mornings sipping coffee on the terrace to leisurely swims and lazy afternoon naps in the shade, this is the ideal setting for a slow-paced island escape. But should you wish to dive into the vibrant spirit of the region, it’s just a short drive to Elia beach while Mykonos town is also within easy reach – perfect for sunset strolls and sipping drinks in seafront tavernas.

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a wonderful sense of sanctuary. From delicious Greek meals served in the soft glow of evening light to stargazing from a sun lounger, you’ll leave feeling refreshed by the magic of island living. 

Way of Bliss

When presented with a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and distant islands on the horizon, it's only natural that you'd want to spend as much time admiring this scenery as possible. Thankfully, this villa makes it ridiculously easy to do so thanks to its plethora of alfresco space.

We're of the opinion that the best spot is in the infinity swimming pool, but obviously, you can't spend your whole holiday there. When it's time to towel off, take a seat on a lounger or one of the two terraces, on which a barbecue and dining table can be found. Just behind this space is a huge bifold door that opens up to the home's living space, which adds yet another option for relaxing.

The interior is soothingly appointed, with a preference for flowing fabrics and stark white walls, although there are a handful of luxurious touches, including sculptures and a rather eye-catching spherical light fitting.

When you want to see a bit more of Mykonos, Elia Beach can be reached in under twenty minutes' walk, while the island's eponymous town takes a similar amount of time to reach in the car.

Private Parking

Security Cameras

Located near the beautiful beach of Elia, this exquisite contemporary villa gazes lovingly out at the picturesque Mykonos coastline. LED lights bring a sparkle to your private pool during the evening and a wireless sound system creates a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy with loved ones. The outdoor space is where you’ll spend most of your time – picture yourself snuggled into the sofa, holiday read in hand, absorbing the words on the page as the sea breeze sweeps gently across your skin. With the Greek sun too tempting to ignore, slip into your infinity pool to swim a few lengths as the sun warms your skin and the ocean provides the perfect backdrop.
 
When you’re ready for some respite from the heat, step inside and you’ll find a space simplistic in design with neutral decor – this home oozes Mykonian serenity. We love the natural rustic materials, creating texture but beautifully washed in white to fit in with the classic Greek design. 
 
After a restful night's sleep, sip your morning coffee on your balcony and enjoy a little peace and quiet as the sun rises. When you’re ready to head out to explore the local area,  you’re ideally located to embrace both the beaches and the local towns. Your evenings can be spent sampling the local cuisine or enjoying a chilled wine while making use of your stone-built barbecue back at home. However your days are spent here, you’ll rest, relax and recuperate with ease.

You’ll feel on top of the world here at this gorgeous home on the south coast of Mykonos, one of the most popular islands in the Cyclades. Boasting a private infinity pool with unparalleled views of the Aegean Sea, this place is what dreamy Greek getaways are all about, offering plenty of outdoor space for soaking up the glorious sunshine. Sit back and relax, cocktail in hand, as your expert hosts handle the minutiae of your stay, organising everything from private chefs to in-home massages while you focus on making memories with all your favourite people. 

On days you fancy getting out and about, you’re just ten minutes from Mykonos Town, home to the island’s most popular bars and restaurants. Put on your favourite heels and set off for an evening of drinking and dancing or grab the nearest pair of flip-flops and make your way to Elia Beach, the perfect place for a waterside picnic. After a few days like this, we wouldn’t blame you if you never wanted to leave.

Sea Foam Blues

A perfect location such as this warrants a perfect home, and this smart, stylish villa overlooking Elia's beautiful beach is just the ticket. With staggering sea views, a crystal clear private pool and a mix of traditional Cycladic architecture and modern luxuries, it's spacious and sophisticated. Built in recent years, but fitting in perfectly with the island's signature style, it's a short walk to the beach and just a twenty-minute drive to Mykonos Town.

Inside, there's a modern, all-white theme, with pops of blue tones and some fascinating pieces of built-in furniture – like the desk, the sofas and even two of the beds. A well-equipped kitchen makes cooking at home a cinch and you can choose to eat inside or out – just outside the patio doors, a covered terrace offers a sheltered spot for meals alfresco.

Spend your days swimming in the pool (or choose its Jacuzzi setting in the evening) and exploring the blissful beaches nearby. Elia Beach, known as the island's 'official unofficial' nudist beach is just a stroll away and within an easy drive are places like Agrari, Kalafati and Lia – all known for their golden sands.

With all the epic sea views you've been craving and some rather impressive luxury details, this beautiful home is poised on a hillside a short walk from Elia Beach. Modern, elegant and extremely spacious – both indoors and out – it's perfect for a large group looking to unwind and enjoy the sun together. 

One of a pair of newly-built high-end villas, it's been thoughtfully designed to make the most of outdoor living and indoor comfort. And while you can easily cook in the fully equipped main kitchen, there's an excellent summer kitchen too – complete with a built-in barbecue, bar area and gorgeous outdoor lounge. By day, swim in your private infinity pool with views across the Aegean or just settle into the five-person Jacuzzi for some well-earned relaxation. There's a fitness room with all sorts of equipment if you feel the need to work out and there's always the option to arrange for an in-house massage.

What makes this home unique is its flexible accommodation, which includes the main house, where you'll find three bedrooms, and three self-contained guest suites on the lower ground floor. There's even a seventh bedroom set away from the house, built into the sloping ground beneath the pool – perfect for staff or if some of your party would prefer a little privacy. And this room even comes with an underwater window into the pool.

Just a few minutes' walk from Elia's main beach (300 metres away), with cafes and a watersports centre, you'll also be close to the town's sheltered nudist beach. And it's just 10 kilometres to Mykonos Town for special nights out.

Private Washing Machine

Look down towards alluring golden sands and glittering sea from this traditional stone villa. This home is perfectly set for alfresco living and dining, with its own pool, sun loungers and thatch umbrellas to really get you in the summer mood. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, plus sliding glass doors that let you step out into the sunshine as soon as you wake up. Famous for a reason, Elia beach is the longest in Mykonos with no shortage of amenities. If you're travelling with little ones though, be aware that nudity is allowed toward one end of the beach.

My Heart in Mykonos

Located on the south coast of Mykonos, this home opens its doors to a dream-worthy Cycladic escape. Consisting of a main villa and two independent suites, you’ll find every detail has been considered to bring luxurious ease to your stay. Outside, there are stunning Aegean views, a private pool and a chapel – available on request for weddings and special ceremonies. It’s also possible to organise a range of extra services here, including private chefs and yacht charters. From here, it’s less than 2 kilometres to Elia Beach, while Mykonos Town is also within easy driving distance. 

Finding Peace

With a glimmering pool, bubbling jacuzzi and views over the Aegean, this villa above Elia ticks all our boxes. The outside space is a true oasis – morning, noon or night, you can soak up the Grecian rays on the lounge chairs, rustle up dinner on the Weber barbecue and watch the oceanfront sunset with a cocktail in hand. Inside, splashes of greens and blues balance out the crisp white hues, creating minimal, light-filled spaces that beckon for relaxing. Two cosy bedrooms have sleek en-suites, while the third bedroom has its own entrance – perfect for those wanting a bit more privacy. And they all have access to the terraces, so you'll be able to embrace indoor/outdoor living with ease.

For a change of scenery, set off and explore the southeastern side of Mykonos. Swim in the crystal clear waters of Paralia Elia (a five-minute drive), sprawl out in the sand on Paralia Kalafati (ten minutes by car) or head inward to the village of Ano Mera for local tavernas, quaint cafes and delicious bakeries set amongst cobbled streets and pretty whitewashed houses (a seven-minute car ride).

Where the Sea Was Born

Beach Essentials

This luxury villa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your holiday in Mykonos. The villa is located just above the prestigious Elia beach, offering stunning views of the Aegean Sea. The villa has a private swimming pool, a private parking area and is just a short drive from the cosmopolitan center of Mykonos.

Mini Bar

Heated Pool

Light, bright and sumptuously luxurious, this stylish villa is just the ticket for a Mykonos getaway. The panoramic views across the Aegean are truly unforgettable, with this home having the perfect spot for the best scenery in the neighbourhood, enjoyed to the fullest from sun-baked terraces and a refreshing infinity pool. 

Inside, opulent interiors use natural materials and neutral tones to create a relaxing home away from home. The wellness centre offers guests the chance to work up a sweat at both the on-site gym, and the sauna. Outside, you'll find the glittering pool and an array of loungers for you to stretch out on under the cloudless Grecian sky. And, when evening rolls around, head for the pergola to enjoy alfresco feasts fit for the gods and delicious cocktails from the private bar.

If you're looking for a day out, Elia Beach is a twelve-minute walk away, so pack up your sunscreen and towels and head on down for a day of sun, sand, and surf. Sample some of Mykonos' most delectable delicacies in Mykonos Town centre, which can be reached in a ten-minute drive, where tavernas, restaurants, and boutiques await. While there, we highly recommend checking out the famous windmills for the perfect holiday snap!




Grecian Bluebell

A sojourn at this minimalist yet homey villa allows you to combine the best of the famed Mykonos party lifestyle with a relaxing touch. Here, you get to stay in a piece of the iconic white sugar-cube architecture for which the island is famed, all the while looking out over idyllic Elia Beach – marked as an LGBT-friendly spot by the rainbow flag on its sands. After a morning exploring the historic village of Ano Mera (three kilometres away), spend the afternoon chilling by the private pool and gathering your strength for a night partying on Paradise Beach or discovering the quaint streets, bars and boutiques of Mykonos Town. If staying in is more your vibe, savour a barbecue on the covered terrace, while the kids have fun in the play area.

Argyro

Waking up with a view of the sea is a blissful luxury, but in this charming villa, the views aren't just restricted to the bedroom. Many of the rooms have a sea view, perfect for anyone who feels they come alive when by the ocean. 

Look into the villa and you'll find a host of unique features. The long, expansive kitchen leads to a restful balcony, providing the perfect sanctuary for those laughter-filled evenings with wine, bread and hummus. 

Wander into the main bedroom and marvel at your sensual surroundings. The chamber contains a bathroom surrounded by large glass walls – it's about as intimate as you can get.

The entire villa sets the mood for romance, offering an idyllic setting for groups of couples. Elegant decor gives an air of sophistication, enhanced by the natural beauty of the surrounding mountainside.

If you set your sights further than the villa, myriad beaches are within walking distance. Spread yourselves even further to explore the pretty tavernas and picturesque streets that shape Mykonos. 

Watching The Ocean Wake Up

At Ioannis, guests can expect to spend a relaxing holiday in the hills above Elia. Expansive sea views are just the start at this striking home. Championing the island's traditional colours, you'll find an array of honey-coloured sandstone and bright whites in every room. It's an easy walk to Elia beach and the nearest village of Ano Mera is just a few kilometres away. Nonetheless, we would recommend hiring a car so that you can easily explore the island's many beaches and breathtaking coves.

Ioannis

Sun, sea, and sand – you can have it all at this coastal villa, designed by a renowned architecture group. And, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, there's room to bring along the whole family. 

The gorgeous interior reflects the beauty of the natural world outside – think exposed stone walls, wooden floors, and organic shapes. The living room, with its huge curved couch, is the perfect place to flop down with a good book, or watch your favourite movie on the projector. Step outside, and you'll find thousands of square feet to explore before you take a dip in the infinity pool or soak in the hot tub overlooking the Icarian Sea. 

Venture down to Elia Beach, one of the best beaches on the island, to spend a day on the golden sand. Or, if you're craving some culture, take the short drive into the village of Ano Mera, to visit the famous monastery. And, with all the action of Mykonos Town just a twenty-minute drive away, you're unlikely to run out of things to do here.

Built into a rocky hillside that tumbles toward the sea, this spectacular villa complex offers unparalleled luxury on Mykonos' trendy south coast. In an effort to minimise its impact on the rugged landscape, a team of expert architects ensured it was constructed from local stone, which blends seamlessly with the surroundings, and made clever use of split levels and subterranean sections to help break up its outline.

Make the most of Mykonos' glorious summer climate and spend your days gazing out at the neighbouring islands of Naxos and Paros from one of four terraces, watching passing super yachts gliding along the island's south coast. An alluring azure pool is on hand for refreshing dips as temperatures rise into the afternoon, while there's plenty of comfortable seating in the shade as a midday alternative.

Vast glass panes slide back to reveal a stylish earth-toned open interior, which takes a hint of industrial inspiration and adds warmth through its generous use of natural materials and organic shapes. And when you'd like a moment to yourself, six plush bedrooms provide a private sanctuary. The first-floor room scoops the coveted top spot with its spacious en-suite with a freestanding tub and a private balcony with 180-degree panoramas.

For those who want to get out and experience a taste of island life, Mykonos' south coast is dotted with exclusive beach clubs where deep house thuds and drinks flow. However, if that's not your scene, there are plenty of secluded coves too. Finally, the bustling bars and fine dining restaurants of Mykonos Town are just a short drive away.

Stone to the Sea

Gazing out over the Aegean Sea and just up from a beach, this idyllic home caught our eye with its stunning outdoor spaces, great for catching some sun or enjoying the heat from the shade. With four double bedrooms (all featuring sea views) for six guests, you'll have flexible sleeping arrangements, ideal if you're travelling with kids or groups of friends. You may have neighbours here, but you should hardly notice – no areas are shared communally, so that gorgeous pool is all yours. While you are a little far from the action, as you might expect, the nearest restaurant is less than a mile away – and we think the seclusion only adds to the charm. 

Between Rock & A Blue Place

Traditional Cycladic charm meets modern luxury at this estate on Mykonos. Composed of the main villa and two additional guest houses, it's ideal for large groups who are seeking a heavenly escape on one of Greece's most popular islands.

The interiors reflect the natural beauty outside, with soothing tones, exposed stone, and organic textures all around. There's plenty of space for every guest to find a little peace and quiet here – you might choose to relax on the balcony and admire the views across the water, or book a massage in the spa room. The sparking swimming pool is surrounded by Greek columns, making it an impressive spot for a dip, and when you get thirsty you can whip up a cocktail at the poolside bar. 

The sea is just two kilometres away, where you'll find Ornos Beach, one of the most popular on the island. You can easily spend a day luxuriating on a lounger and paddling in the crystal clear water, before visiting one of the prestigious beach clubs for dinner and drinks. Plus, Mykonos Town is just five kilometers away – wander through the charming streets soaking up the atmosphere, or book in at one of the top restaurants for a lavish feast. The choice is yours. 

Cosmic Dances

Perched Mykonos' rugged hills, this sprawling home opens its doors to a blissful coastal getaway. Consisting of two independent villas, four swimming pools, a small chapel, and access to a private bay, there’s everything you could need to relax, unwind and celebrate life’s special occasions. Weddings and events are allowed on request, and there's plenty of space for the whole extended brood across the two homes. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extra services throughout your stay – including boat trips, diving lessons, and massage treatments. And while it might be tempting to stay home, it’s just a short walk to vibrant Paraga Beach, with Mykonos Town also within easy driving distance.

Island of Bliss

Enjoy some true rest and relaxation at this dreamy villa, located in the south of Mykonos. With plenty of space, a showstopping location, and easy access to the water's edge, it's the perfect place to pause and enjoy some quality time with your favorite people.

Step inside, and you'll find an elegant space with plenty of traditional touches, from the wooden ceiling beams to the collection of rustic furniture. It's the ideal spot to kick back and relax between adventures, but we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside soaking up the Greek sunshine. The dazzling infinity pool offers fantastic views across the Aegean Sea, and there are plenty of loungers where you can stretch out and catch some rays. Come cocktail hour, mix your favourite drinks at the outdoor bar, before firing up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast as twilight falls.

Beach fans will be happy that Kalo Livadi is just a four-minute drive away – it's a fabulous stretch of sand that many people would call the best beach on the whole island. Hire a kayak, splash around in the water, or simply relax with a delicious meal from one of the local tavernas. And, Mykonos Town is only a fifteen-minute drive away, where you can stroll through the charming Cycladic streets by day, and let your hair down at the vibrant bars by night.  

Island Tranquility

Rooftop Terrace

A pair of sugarcube-white villas with blue shutters sit up on a hilltop overlooking the land to the crystal Aegean Sea. Perhaps two families or a large group of friends could make the most of having two independent homes and lavish shared outdoor space for socialising. Come together on the terrace, which has a striking view of the Mykonos coast, unfurling like the contours of a map into the Aegean Sea. You can enjoy this view while floating in the curvy swimming pool which juts out over the hillside like a lip. Boho wicker chairs draped with throws and sun loungers line the poolside and you’ll find outdoor lounges and alfresco dining nooks shaded by wooden pergolas. Perhaps the best part of the outdoor space is the summer kitchen with its built-in barbecue and stone bar for serving up sundowners.

Inside, it’s a haven of calm, crisp white from floor to ceiling. An old stone fireplace, terracotta floor tiles and wooden ceilings whisper of the old world, while flatscreen TVs and mod cons in the kitchens keep things solidly 21st-century. We particularly love that each bedroom has its own vibrant wall decal, livening up those pristine white spaces. 

When it comes to days out, Kalo Livadi beach is just a three-minute drive away and the pretty village of Ano Mera is four minutes by car where you’ll find a 16th-century monastery, local market and a handful of local taverns in the idyllic streets. 

Walls Of Sunshine

One of a pair of villas perched on a hilltop on the east side of Mykonos, guests staying here are treated to a simply stunning view of rolling green hillsides, some of the island's beaches and the Aegean Sea stretching beyond.

It's the sort of panorama that you'll barely tire of gawping at and fortunately, there are plenty of spots where you can do just that. The swimming pool in the middle of the outdoor space is one option, but the scenery is no less impressive from one of the loungers or the table underneath the pergola.

If the exterior is dominated by bright colours, it's the complete opposite when you step inside the home. Cleansingly white walls, ceilings and furnishings are both strikingly modern and instantly soothing on hot afternoons. Much like many a contemporary art gallery, they also act as a blank canvas, particularly in the bedrooms where some upliftingly colourful murals have been added.

Even better, just five minutes in the car will get you to some local attractions, like the village of Ano-Mera and its market, as well as the beaches of Kalo Livadi, Agia Anna, Lia and Kalafati.

Mermaid's Harp

Carbon Monoxide Detector

Like a scene from a postcard, the views from this waterfront villa are pretty spectacular. We could easily spend all day on the terrace, drinking wine in the sun and watching the boats bob in the harbour as the tide rises and falls. Don't even get us started on the Aegean sea sunsets – they're downright magical, and you'll have a front-row seat. 

A former mayor's residence, this home was built in 1850 and has oodles of character inside – think beams on the high ceilings and shutters on the windows. Yet every room is bright, crisp and super sleek, thanks to the minimal decorations and white colour scheme. The design is pared-back on purpose so you can focus on the scenery, but don't let that fool you. It still has all the mod-cons and upgrades you'll want on holiday, including Molton Brown toiletries, Netflix access, flexible housekeeping, an on-call concierge, and the option for private chefs and yacht charters.

And the location is fabulous, too. Whether you crave a night on the town, afternoon brunch or a leisurely morning stroll, this is undoubtedly the best spot on the island – mere minutes from the beach, museums and Mykonos' pretty cobbled lanes lined with boutiques and eateries. It can't get much sweeter than that.
