Delos Delight

Delos Delight: Aegean South

On an island bursting with top-class accommodation, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. However, this villa manages just that with its unmatched combination of contemporary design and traditional architecture, comfort and luxury, topped off by several stone terraces with views of the sparkling Aegean and breathtaking sunsets over the sea.

An open-plan kitchen and living area enjoys direct access to the poolside patio, courtesy of several French doors that you can fling open for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Meanwhile, the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prep for sumptuous outdoor dinners finished off on the barbecue.

Of the six individually decorated bedrooms, three are located on the first floor, two on the ground level, and one is in a self-sufficient guesthouse, making a romantic bolthole for a couple. Five are equipped with en-suite bathrooms for added privacy.

Leave your villa behind, and you'll find Ornos beach just a couple of kilometres down the road. This family-friendly stretch of sand is one of the most popular on the island. After a day spent lounging by the pool or sprawled on the sand, why not explore the tiny alleyways of Mykonos' old town, lined with independent boutiques, fantastic restaurants and vibrant bars.
