While at villa Melia, you might find yourself torn between staying in your own private haven and heading out to explore Mykonos, and that is exactly the point.
This luxury villa in Elia offers the best of both worlds. A wind-sheltered location only 700 meters from the sandy beach and about 11 km from the buzz of Mykonos Town. Perfect for groups of up to 8, Melia offers enough space and seclusion for everyone to unwind, making it easy to fall into a softer, more relaxed routine together.
Out on the terrace, the private pool with jacuzzi jets sets the scene, shining under the sun and stretching toward a wide horizon. Sunbeds line the waters edge, while the stone bar invites you to pause for a cold drink between swims. A barbecue and alfresco dining area make it simple to gather everyone for relaxed dinners on the terrace, under the stars. The lawn by the pool gives children space to play, and for guests who like to stay active, the pergola shaded outdoor gym with weights, mats and an elliptical machine is a welcome extra.
Inside, Melia’s minimal interiors are warm and functional. A cosy living room with an impressive decorative fireplace sits next to a dining area for 8 and a fully equipped kitchen for anything from quick snacks to family style meals. The four ensuite bedrooms, three with king size beds and one with twin beds, are simply but thoughtfully furnished, each with a TV, hairdryer and safe box, giving every guest a comfortable place to retreat before getting ready for dinner or a night out.
Melia provides baby equipment on request, making life easier for parents travelling with young children. The villa itself is a calm place to stay away from the busier side of Mykonos Town in peak season, while Ano Mera, where you’ll find banks, food markets, supermarkets, pharmacies and medical services, is less than a 10-minute drive away. If you are planning a larger gathering, Melia is part of a small complex with two other villas, so additional friends or family can stay nearby with their own space.
