This is not a dream; it is this villa’s reality. An exclusive residence with unexpected architecture, surprising forms and exquisite elements. Here the dark grey and beige earthy stones of Mykonos come one in utter harmony with the carved built-in elements, the concrete rocky formations and the natural straw and reeds An architectural masterpiece adorned with the principles of utter minimalism, this villa is like a deity: picture perfect, smart and stunningly beautiful. Its design, at first sight, seems to defy every law of balance, but this is the breakthrough: achieving perfect harmony though seeming anarchy The main level boasts an exceptional living room where minimalism thrives. The only thing that is in abundance is the flooding view that penetrates through the wide floor-to-ceiling balcony doors and the vast windows. The open plan, minimal kitchen is connected to the living area with a long, robust, solid-wood table. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom is adorned with the mountain and sea views while it offers direct access to the beachside space. A fully equipped gym boasting, among others, yoga and Pilates equipment, is also found on the ground floor. Going up, you’ll meet three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and access to the fabulous terrace, all sharing the same aesthetics with the entire residence but in diversified approach. The exteriors of the villa are a mystery to be solved; a non-canonical shaped infinity pool traverses half of the outdoor terrace; design loungers, a built-in sofa adjacent to the pool’s rim, multiple levels with lounging, sitting and dining spots are to be discovered. They are not apparent; they hide within the supremacy of the exterior design. Yes, this villa could be a home from the future; love it, live it, carry it with you for years to come. Besides, you can’t do otherwise! years to come. Besides, you can’t do otherwise!

Prepare to feel like a star on an island legend It’s hard to imagine a time when Mykonos was a humble little island, without electricity, just a layover on the way to famous Delos. Things changed in the 1950s, with the arrival of the likes of Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, Jackie O, Marlon Brando, Grace Kelly, Princess Soraya, Elizabeth Taylor, Nureyev, Pierre Cardin, Stavros Niarchos… legendary names of the international jet set that became associated with Mykonos. Mykonos quickly became the favoured holiday destination in Greece for the super-rich, artists and movie stars. And the list of celebrities continues to grow: Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Monica Bellucci, Liam Neeson, Hugh Jackman, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Clive Owen, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani, Russell Crowe…
Sparkling white with an Aegean blue backdrop, the architecture of Mykonos is one of a kind. It extends into the little neighbourhoods of the island’s main town, Hora, with captain’s homes, old churches and wells. Everywhere you look, there’s a maze of whitewashed alleyways. In Gialos, you’ll find the famed pelicans, as well as Agios Nikolaos tis Kadenas, the Town Hall of 1780, and the imposing Mavrou School. Through Barkias, you will reach the Church of Panagia Paraportiani, a complex of five churches, completed in the 17th century.
One of the most-photographed spots on Mykonos, Little Venice is made up of homes that were built in the 18th century and have their foundations in the sea. It has been said that pirates would store their loot here. Today, they have been converted to bars and restaurants and the view of the sea from their balconies is dazzling. Mykonos’ other iconic attraction is its windmills, which stand facing the sea and at night are beautifully lit up. Powered by the north wind, these windmills used to grind the island’s grain into flour until the early 20th century.
In Mykonos, anything is possible, especially when it comes to the island’s dining and nightlife spots. From Little Venice to Super Paradise, from Matogiannia to Psarou, Orno, Paradise… the party’s swinging all summer long. Day and night, spontaneous and organised, with guest DJs from all over the world. Holidays in Mykonos mean fun, fun, and more fun – champagne on the beach, cocktails on balconies, dancing and flirting until the sun comes up.
Mykonos is a luxury destination that has it all: elegant villas and suites with private pools that merge with the blue horizon, award-winning design, five-star service, gourmet gastronomy served to you on dreamy balconies, on a yacht or on a private pier. Hospitality here has reached a standard all of its own.
Explore the shops and whitewashed magic of HoraShopping in Hora is a high-fashion experience, during which you can find the latest collections from top design houses. Sitting in Matogianni St makes for some great people-watching. The colourful crowd comes and goes, streaming in and out of brightly lit stores, whether they’re just window-shopping or holding bags full of clothes. Could there be a more beautiful catwalk than the cobblestone streets of Mykonos’ Hora

If you love culture, you could spend half a lifetime exploring Delos island and still be thirsty for more. The birthplace of the god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis is not only one of the most important Greco-Roman settlements but also one of the most extensive. It’s an extraordinary insight into power struggles, religion, art, commerce and everyday life in antiquity. The entire island is an open-air museum.
Exploring the UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site, you walk through history dating from Mycenaean times, in the 3rd millennium BC. However, Delos’ peak was from the 6th-1st century BC, amidst a constant interplay of Athenian and Roman domination – interspersed by the influence of powerful Cycladic neighbours, such as Naxos and Paros.
It’s a story now told through a bewildering number of sanctuaries and statues, as well as public and private buildings and the artefacts they once contained. To put it all into context, there’s a hill on Delos called Kynthos. Climb it and take a look around you. Extraordinary!
