5 Ways To Have A Luxury Holiday In Mykonos
Enjoy a sunset yacht cruise
The views in Mykonos are pretty magical any time of day. During the daytime you’ll love seeing the white Cycladic architecture against bright blue skies with the turquoise of the ocean below. At night, the bays and harbours are filled with shimmering lights, as yachts bob up and down on the Aegean Sea.
For a taste of luxury though, the best time in Mykonos is sunset. The ultimate way to see the rays of golden light diffusing over the landscape is on a sunset yacht cruise. Book onto a tour, or charter your own for an uber-lux experience. You could even raise a glass of champagne to toast your luxury holiday in Mykonos.
Hire a swanky villa in Mykonos
If you’re going to live a life of luxury in Mykonos, you’ll want to find somewhere spectacular to stay. For a holiday to remember, I’d recommend checking out these beautiful villas in Mykonos.

This stunning villa us located in the Kanalia region on the west of the island, an area known for its raw natural beauty and pristine shores.
This large mansion has its own private beach, and features chic en-suite bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and a spectacular infinity pool. This is a great place to stay for a group of friends who want to enjoy the finer things in life, in smart private surroundings.
Villa Miracle (16 guests / 8 bedrooms)
This Mykonos villa is perfect for a large family or 4 couples. It’s located in the Agios Lazaros region and definitely has the wow factor. The villa is set over three levels, and features private balconies, a TV room, Turkish sauna, thalassotherapy spa, professional kitchen, gym, an outdoor Jacuzzi and a heated infinity pool.
It’s ideal for a special occasion, like a landmark birthday or wedding celebration. I love the look of all of the outdoor areas too. Imagine the BBQs you could enjoy out there!
Villa Bios (14 guests / 7 bedrooms)
When you see the panoramic views from Villa Bios you’ll think you’re in heaven! This large villa is located right on the beach, steps away from the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea.
One of my favourite features of this villa is the architecture. Everywhere you turn you’ll see references to Cycladic architecture, with bright white walls against the bright blue of the sky.
The villa is home to 6 bedrooms, a large infinity pool, a BBQ area, chic bedrooms with balconies and there’s even a helipad! You’ll definitely feel like a movie star if you stay somewhere like this!
