On Rolling Waves

Situated in the hills just a short drive from Mykonos Town, this home is all Cycladic charm and picture-perfect views. Here, the Aegean Sea is your backdrop and the crashing waves are your soundtrack, no matter if you're floating in the sparkling pool, savouring a glass of wine on the terrace or lounging underneath the stone arches on the comfy outdoor sofas. We think it's the epitome of relaxation. Days start with a cup of coffee as you marvel at the uninterrupted vistas of Delos and Rhenea islands and end with alfresco dinners as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon – you can even hire a private chef to do the cooking for you.

Head inside when you need a break from the sun – the bright, well laid-out living space features curvaceous furniture mimicking the area's rounded architecture as well as Alberto Pinto-inspired paintings paying homage to Greek mythology. It's a cool and calm place to unwind – especially with Netflix on the flatscreen – as are the comfortable bedrooms, all with access to private bathrooms so you can avoid that
morning queue.

If you're keen to explore, vibrant Mykonos Town and its array of tavernas, seafront eateries, lively bars and artisan boutiques are just thirteen minutes away by car. For the beach, we suggest Psarou (a ten-minute drive) or Korfos (also reachable in ten), although there are plenty of other sandy stretches nearby to tickle your fancy.

Home truths:
*The fourth and fifth bedrooms are in a separate studio and are connected to each other – we think it’s a good option for those wanting a bit more privacy away from the main group
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here
​​*This home is set on an estate with other villas – however, you'll have a private entrance and the terrace is entirely yours to enjoy

*If you plan on using a boat, there's a private jetty available to guests
