Elia View Mykonos

Elia Elegance

If you are reading this, the chances are that you know about Elia beach. You know about its soft sand lapped by a turquoise sea, about its water sports and music and its beautiful, warm-hearted people. You also know that Mykonos has all those things in abundance but that Elia is special. Elia dances to its own tune, creates its special vibe, waves its flag, welcomes everyone, whether the party crowd, fun-loving families or the pure lovers of the beach.

At Elia View you can join the fun, be part of it, and, at the same time, you have your private, luxurious haven, right here, right now. Elia View does Mykonos beach chic style and turns it into something exquisite. Outside space is naturally beautiful at the same time as lavishly fitted out for al fresco life, with natural materials the hues of white-wash and sandstone to blend with the landscape.

A vast infinity pool, encircled by lawns and the rocky cliff, loungers and shaded chill-out zones, drops poetically into the blue Aegean Sea. There is a bar with one the best sea views from its bar stools that you are ever likely to find while sipping a mojito and, of course, a barbecue for lighting up as the outdoor sound system lights up the airwaves.

The interior design takes the style of the Cyclades and then weaves a highly contemporary statement throughout bright white rooms. Built in sofas and shelving follow lines that curve, the timber floors and exposed stone walls soften all the shiny modernity, except in the kitchen that positively sings its devotion to the state-of-the-art. With six double en-suite bedrooms, this is the house for a good tribe of you: families, extended families, friends. Four bedrooms are in the main house and two more on a lower level with their own access, pretty terrace and kitchenettes, so there is independence if it is sought, as well as plenty of opportunities to spread out.

The master has the absolute master of an outdoor jacuzzi, from which you can gaze down, maybe as a few gods from the Greek pantheon might have done on the mortals below, over there, on the beach. And then, much as those gods were in the habit of doing, they might join the mortals and their games for a while before returning to the lofty palaces above Mount Olympus. Or, in our version of the tale, to the palatial villa above the wonderful Elias beach.
