Footsteps from the beach and a quick hop into the buzzing heart of Mykonos Town, this villa not only radiates luxury but it’s in a prime location too. Following the path straight from the villa, you’ll be at the sandy beach, just 500 metres away. Hop in the car and explore the sugar-cube buildings in pretty white and blue of Mykonos Town – it’s just a five-minute drive to the waterfront cafes, bars and restaurants.

Or, opt to while away the day poolside, on a beanbag lounger with a cold drink in hand. The view out over the bay is simply sublime. When the heat gets too much you can find relief on the shaded veranda, lined with comfy chairs. Lunch outdoors is on offer thanks to a state-of-the-art barbecue and shaded dining area. Come sunset, there’s no better place than the Moroccan-style lounge on the rooftop.

The interior is crisp and clean, in keeping with the Cycladic minimalist style. Think white-washed ceilings and stark, slate-grey sofas. There’s a sense of grandeur and occasion to the dining room, with its banquet-sized table big enough for the whole group. When it comes to bedtime, each of the bedrooms is ensuite, luxurious as a hotel room and all have their own access to a balcony or terrace. The secret bonus to this place? There’s a sea view from the sauna and a private massage room and a Turkish hammam for the ultimate spa day.
