Best beaches and top beach clubs
Our luxury villas in Mykonos are situated within easy reach of the island’s hottest beaches and the most exclusive beach clubs. The place to be and be seen? Rock up to Psarou Beach, the stretch of golden sand, celebrated for its turquoise waters and VIP beach clubs, notably the iconic NAMMOS Mykonos. This lush oasis attracts the stars and international jet-set with its sumptuous sunbeds, gourmet dining, and high-end shopping — and a helipad for arriving in style and with maximum privacy.
Or flock to Super Paradise Beach and Paradise Beach, two of the most iconic and lively beaches in Mykonos, renowned for their vibrant atmosphere and buzzing watering holes.
Super Paradise Beach, famous for its energetic vibe and stunning sunsets, is home to the renowned Super Paradise Beach Club, a major destination for partying and socialising. Here, you can enjoy lavish sunbeds, delicious cuisine, and world-class DJs spinning music day and night. The beach also offers VIP services and exclusive areas if you’re seeking a more private and opulent experience.
Paradise Beach combines natural beauty with a party vibe, offering azure waters, golden sands, and a wealth of watersports and activities. It’s equally known for its high-octane party scene with several prominent beach clubs, most notably the famous Paradise Beach Club, which hosts international DJs and extravagant events throughout the summer season.
You can dip in and out of the party as the mood takes you: when you rent one of our luxury villas in Mykonos you can relax by an infinity pool in your own private haven and also explore the island’s more tranquil beaches. If socialising in a more laid-back scene is how you prefer to roll, Paraga Beach is another elite destination with exclusive beach bars such as Scorpios, a top venue that offers a bohemian atmosphere, gourmet food, and the perfect setting for cocktails at sunset.
Ornos Beach, home to some of the most expensive real estate on the island, is busy but also provides luxurious vibe, with fine dining restaurants and luxury hotels with enticing spas and bars. The clear, calm waters make it perfect for yachting, and the beach is lined with elegant sun loungers and parasols.
The largest beach on the island, Elia Beach is a gorgeous stretch of soft white sand, lapped by crystal-clear waters. It offers upscale amenities, including charming beachfront restaurants and bars that provide top-notch services — and the western side, marked with a rainbow flag, is Mykonos’ main gay-friendly beach.
Agios Ioannis Beach offers a quieter, more secluded luxury experience. This beach, with its stunning views and serene environment, is perfect if you’re longing for tranquility and privacy while also enjoying high-end facilities.
