Scenarios and venues in Mykonos
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
A day at the beach club
Mykonos's principal daytime scenario, May through September. The format runs 4-6 hours: lunch at a table by the water or sunbeds, music, sunset. Scorpios at Paraga is the sunset ritual and the DJ set; Nammos on Psarou is the island's best-known address and tender access from the yachts; SantAnna next door has the seawater pool; Principote at Panormos brings canopies on the sand and room to breathe; Alemagou at Ftelia is the most informal option going. We handle the table and sunbed bookings ourselves.
Scorpios Mykonos
Paraga Beach
The beach club on the Paraga headland: wooden decks, long communal tables, Mediterranean cooking and the sunset ritual people actually come here for — the DJ set, the drums, the sun going down behind the horizon. The daytime programme start…
Nammos Mykonos
Psarou Beach
The beach restaurant and club on Psarou, the island's best-known daytime address since the early 2000s. Tables at the water's edge, Mediterranean cooking and seafood, front-row sunbeds, tenders coming in from the yachts straight to the shor…
Principote Panormos
Panormos Beach
A club on the north shore, on Panormos beach: white canopies and cushions set straight on the sand, long lunches, music until sunset. Calmer and roomier than the southern venues, with a slightly older crowd.
Alemagou
Ftelia Beach
The most relaxed of the island's larger beach addresses, out at Ftelia: timber, straw, cooking without the fuss, surfing next door. The format is "arrive at two, leave at sunset", without the density of a club.
SantAnna Mykonos
Paraga Beach
Scorpios's neighbour on Paraga, built around a seawater pool — one of the largest on the island. A daytime programme, cabanas around the pool, several kitchens and music until evening. A louder and more club-leaning delivery than next door.
Tip:
book two to four weeks ahead for July and August; in May and September three to five days is enough; in a strong meltemi we move the northern beaches (Panormos, Ftelia) to the southern ones (Psarou, Paraga)
Dinner in Chora
The island's evening scenario. Dinner starts at ten or eleven: Matsuhisa at the Belvedere, Interni in its garden off Matogianni, Kiku in Chora, the Bill & Coo restaurant above Megali Ammos. After that a bar five minutes' walk away: Astra on Matogianni, Scarpa in Little Venice. The format usually runs 4 hours and often carries on past midnight.
Interni
Matogianni, Chora
A garden restaurant in a courtyard off Matogianni, one of Chora's long-standing evening addresses. Mediterranean cooking and sushi, tables under the trees, and after midnight the place turns into a bar. A convenient starting point for the e…
Belvedere Mykonos
School of Fine Arts District, Rohari, Chora
A hotel in the School of Fine Arts district, a few minutes on foot from the centre of Chora, looking out over the town and the sea. Inside are Matsuhisa Mykonos, Nobu Matsuhisa's outpost, and a pool that turns into a stage of its own by eve…
Astra
Matogianni, Chora
A bar on Matogianni running since 1987, with an interior by the jeweller Minas — one of the few island addresses to have outlived every change of fashion. Cocktails, music, and a crowd that has been coming here for decades. The classic seco…
Tip:
a table in August needs a week or two of notice; warn the model about Chora's paving, since the stone turns slippery by nightfall and stilettos do not work — we do this automatically in the briefing
A meeting at the hotel
The second most frequent format. We work at the Belvedere and Cavo Tagoo in Chora, Bill & Coo above Megali Ammos, Santa Marina in Ornos, Mykonos Blu on Psarou, Kalesma at Aleomandra, and Kenshō in Ornos and on Psarou. We know the specifics of arrival, reception and private options at each one. The model comes to the lobby, and from there it is the room, the villa or the hotel restaurant.

Cavo Tagoo Mykonos
Tagoo, Chora
A hotel carved into the cliff at the northern entrance to Chora: white cubes, a cascade of terraces and a sea-view pool that became the island's calling card. Cycladic architecture, contemporary delivery. Ten minutes on foot along the water…
Bill & Coo Mykonos
Megali Ammos, Chora
A small adults-only hotel above Megali Ammos bay, fifteen minutes on foot from the centre of Chora. Fewer rooms than its neighbours, and the whole logic is built around quiet and the sunset: a lit pool, a restaurant serving modern Greek coo…
Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort
Ornos Bay
A resort on its own peninsula in Ornos bay under the Marriott Luxury Collection brand: a private beach, villas with pools, its own jetty for tenders and Buddha-Bar Beach on the grounds. Four kilometres from Chora, ten minutes by car from th…
Mykonos Blu, Grecotel Boutique Resort
Psarou Beach
A hotel on the slope above Psarou — the same beach that Nammos sits on. White bungalows, a villa with a pool, a direct path down to the water. The logic is simple: the day on Psarou, the evening in Chora fifteen minutes away.
Kalesma Mykonos
Aleomandra, Ornos
A hotel on the Aleomandra hill above Ornos bay, opened in 2020: a few dozen suites and villas, Cycladic architecture without the postcard flourishes, and a panorama of the sea and the sunset from every terrace. Quieter and higher than the m…
Kenshō Boutique Hotel & Suites
Ornos
A boutique format in Ornos with a sister property on Psarou. Small buildings, suites with private pools, unhurried service and a kitchen on site. A compromise between being close to the southern beaches and staying out of the club zone.
Tip:
if you are choosing the hotel yourself, tell the manager and we will fill in the details — where the private entrance is, which wing is quieter, whether a transfer around the grounds is needed
Yacht and the Cyclades route
A standing format from May to September. Yachts lie in the Tourlos marina or at anchor off Ornos, Psarou, Platis Gialos and Panormos. The model comes to the quay and boards at the crew's invitation; a tender can collect her from the Santa Marina jetty or from the shore at Psarou. Duration runs from an evening to several days with passages through the Cyclades: Delos, Rineia, Paros, Naxos and on to Santorini.

Nammos Mykonos
Psarou Beach
The beach restaurant and club on Psarou, the island's best-known daytime address since the early 2000s. Tables at the water's edge, Mediterranean cooking and seafood, front-row sunbeds, tenders coming in from the yachts straight to the shor…
The client's private location
A regular island scenario — a villa taken for the week around Agios Lazaros or Aleomandra, above Ornos or Panormos, or a yacht in the Tourlos marina or at anchor off Psarou, Ornos or Platis Gialos. For returning clients it is agreed without…
Tip:
plan 5-10 days ahead; we fix the name of the vessel, the captain's name and the pick-up point beforehand, and in a strong meltemi we move the meeting ashore in advance rather than at the last minute
A night on the island
The late continuation of the evening, from midnight onward. The bars of Chora — Astra on Matogianni, Scarpa in Little Venice, Bonbonniere for the club format — and Cavo Paradiso on the cliff above Paradise, which closes the programme around dawn. A loud scenario that takes stamina, and one that does not suit everyone or every evening.

Tip:
tell the manager in advance whether the club part is in the plan — a model for the night format and a model for a quiet dinner are matched differently; the transfer back from Paradise to Chora at dawn is arranged beforehand
A weekend and the long format
From a day to a week — on Mykonos this is the most natural format there is, because the day here is naturally long: the beach club from lunch to sunset, dinner in Chora, a bar or the yacht. The base is a hotel or a rented villa, and the programme is assembled day by day, including time on the water and the nearer islands. All costs on a long format are on the client, and the model's fee is agreed separately.
Kalesma Mykonos
Aleomandra, Ornos
A hotel on the Aleomandra hill above Ornos bay, opened in 2020: a few dozen suites and villas, Cycladic architecture without the postcard flourishes, and a panorama of the sea and the sunset from every terrace. Quieter and higher than the m…

Tip:
plan two to four weeks ahead for July and August, since at peak the date costs more than the logistics; for trips to Santorini or Athens allow 5-10 days
The client's private villa
Villas at Agios Lazaros, Aleomandra, above Ornos and above Panormos are a common option for groups taking a house for the week. The format is flexible: dinner on the terrace, a day by the pool, an evening with no trip into town. For a new client we usually suggest a first meeting on neutral ground — a hotel or a restaurant.

Tip:
the address is not kept on file and is passed only to the specific model for the specific meeting; after the meeting the details are wiped from working chats within 72 hours
