Sugarloaf

One of the finest and largest luxury villas on the island, this home is something really special. With six bedrooms, an infinity pool and a dozen different terraces, balconies and hangout spots, it's the perfect choice for a luxury family break or a get-together with friends. But the biggest selling point here is the incredible panoramic view which takes in Mykonos Town, the new harbour and the stunning Aegean Sea – where you can watch private yachts and cruise ships glide past.

Just a few hundred metres from a small beach, there's a huge amount of accommodation on offer, with spacious, elegant interiors and all the modern conveniences you could need. The home itself is built in a traditional style with freeform white stucco walls that give it a rustic yet imposing look, and this technique has been employed in the home's bathrooms and on the terraces too.

Here you can cook for the group in the large kitchen, fit for a professional, or outside in the home's 'summer kitchen' with a fabulous pergola dining area built into the stone walls. But this is just one of the places you can relax outdoors, with several other seating areas over different levels, a poolside bar and a covered outdoor lounge – perfect for drinks at sunset.

Elsewhere, there's a vegetable patch where you can pick fresh produce, a guesthouse with its own kitchenette and a studio for staff. Just a fifteen-minute drive from Mykonos Town, there's so much to see and do in the area if you want to get out and about. And perhaps you could ask the host to charter a boat for a special day out?
