It’s hard to beat the natural beauty of Mykonos, but this Alberto Pinto-designed villa does its best to rival its stunning surroundings. The walls are adorned with Pinto-inspired frescoes depicting figures from Greek Mythology, which make this lavish villa extra special. The white and blue motif inside is classically Cycladian, to match the sugar-cube-white walls and blue shutters outside. You’ve got the choice between a lavish 1960s-style lounge, mezzanine hideaway or uplit TV room to while away the evenings inside. And we could spend hours in the spa, relaxing in the Turkish hammam, or soaking in the Thalasso therapy tub, especially after a session in the private gym.

The real show-stopper is the outside space, where you’ll find an infinity pool blending in with the ocean, a sunken Jacuzzi and myriad outdoor lounges to while away the days. Dining outdoors is accompanied by beautiful views of the Aegean Sea, and there are two barbecues and a wood-fired oven for alfresco feasts under the stars. From the terrace, a snaking stone path makes its way to the sea where your private jetty awaits should you wish to explore the coast and islands by boat. It’s not often we say this, but if you’re arriving by helicopter, this place has you covered with its own helipad too.

*This place comes with plenty of indoor and outdoor private parking, a helipad and a private jetty
