There is no denying that Mykonos is the ultimate summer playground; and after sunset, the island truly comes alive. From world-class DJs to boho beach clubs, these five venues promise unforgettable nights under the Aegean stars.

Astra

By day, Astra is laid-back and elegant; by night, it’s a vibrant lounge where the elite gather. It’s a magnet for those who want to experience the true Mykonian lifestyle in a space that shifts seamlessly from cocktail conversations to late-night dancing.

Cavo Paradiso

Set dramatically on a clifftop at Paradise Beach, Cavo Paradiso is an open-air club that has become legendary. Hosting top-tier EDM DJs like David Guetta and Carl Cox, it's a must for serious music lovers.

If you’re planning to dance until dawn, we recommend booking a table in advance. Fortunately, many of our villas in Mykonos guarantee proximity and privacy after the party ends.

Paradise Beach Club

Attracting an international crowd, Paradise Beach Club is vibrant and high-energy. With past performers like Avicii and Dimitri Vegas, the venue is a rite of passage for EDM enthusiasts.

Its beachfront location, just steps from some of our finest beachfront villas, makes it easy to transition from sand to sound in seconds.

Celebrations are part of the local fabric in Mykonos, where tradition and creativity come together in spectacular ways. These three standout events add a cultural rhythm to the island’s vibrant atmosphere.

Mykonos Biennale

The Mykonos Biennale is a cult event that beckons artists worldwide to create something new using the telluric energy and hermetic beauty of Mykonos, says Biennale founder Lydia Venieri.

Mykonos offers more than glamour—it’s a place where every hour holds the potential for joy, discovery and connection. These handpicked experiences will elevate your time on the island.

Private Catamaran/Sailing

Privately touring the impressive coastline and area around Mykonos would be a lovely way to spend the day. Either in a luxury catamaran or sailboat, stop at the Rineia North Beach for a refreshing swim and then on to Chapel Bay, where you can lay on the beach surrounded by untouched nature.

If you’re more adventurous, you can explore the island on foot. The third stop is Delos, with plenty of time to swim in the crystal waters, put on a pair of goggles and flippers and see underwater life up close.

At Delos, the trip will include a visit to one of the most famous archaeological sites in Greek history: the birthplace of the Ancient God Apollo.

Greek Cuisine Cooking Classes

Step into a local kitchen and learn to prepare beloved Greek dishes, from spanakopita to honey-drenched feta parcels. Greek cuisine is heavenly, and what better way to spend some time than learning the secrets of Greek fare by taking a private cooking class.

Fledgling chefs can learn how to prepare a main dish or salad as well as a Greek meze table that includes local cheese, taramosalata, and other tasty bites.
