Villa Alkyone

This magnificent residence is situated in the most prestigious and desirable location of the island, the Agios Ioannis (St. John) area. It’s position is right opposite of the sacred island of Delos, birthplace of the mythological God of light Apollo and, fittingly, one of the sunniest areas in the world. The villa is located near several five star hotels such as the St. John resort hotel and the Kivotos boutique hotel in an exclusive area of grand villas. The residence is within walking distance of the sheltered, sandy St. John beach. Popular Ornos beach is just a two minute drive away, and the landmarks  Psarou beach (with its renown Nammos beach resort) and Paraga beach (with its famous Scorpion beach resort) are just a short drive away. The villa is at the perfect location only few minutes away from the cosmopolitan town of Mykonos, the airport and the ports. It facilitates easy access to high-end shops, top restaurants, famous bars, exclusive clubs, health and beauty spas, gyms as well as a variety of sports facilities, including tennis, water skiing, snorkeling, wind-surfing, sailing and kite-surfing. The villa is a spacious independent residence (460 sq.m plus 250 sq.m pergola covered verandas with its own private 1300 sq. m plot), situated in a gated complex with two other traditionally built, flat-roofed, cube shaped villas. Its outdoor area, designed in harmony with the surrounding natural terrain by the renown Spanish architect Javier Barba, features a large infinity edge swimming pool, a long sun deck, a pool bar and huge spaces that flow into each other.  Large and beautifully designed sitting areas and dining areas open out onto the terraces, the verandas and the garden. There is also a pergola-covered parking area and a private energy generator to prevent unpleasant power cuts. This newly built villa offers ideal orientation facing south in a wind sheltered location with stunning views over the island of Delos to the West, the island of Paros to the South and the infinite blue of the Aegean Sea to the East.  The clarity of the light during the day and the the energy emanating from Delos, the birthplace of the God of light, during the full moon nights are sensational. But the most impressive "advantage" of the villa is it’s sunset views:  the twinkling and ever-changing colors of the sun play a game with the structures and the setting seems to be out of a fairytale! Its interior,  inspired by Cycladic minimalism, is set on three levels. The decor is tasteful, chic with a happy and airy feel. The villa with its all white sculptured interiors exudes a feeling of cool luxury. On the upper level, a luxurious master bedroom provides complete privacy and offers outstanding panoramic sea views. It enjoys a large private terrace with a built-in outdoor sofa and a dining table. The middle level is dominated by a sizable open space lobby with an elegant yet comfortable living and dining room. The fully equipped kitchen combines traditional local design with state of the art technology. One level down, the villa hosts seven modern and stylish bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, four of which have their own garden patio and enjoy spectacular views of the Aegean sea. Two additional kitchenettes serve the seven bedrooms for more autonomy. On the same floor, a cozy independent studio with en-suite bathroom provides additional privacy and is utilized by the live-in staff. The stunning panoramic views, the colors of the sunset, the magical aura of the ancient island of Delos directly in front, the outstanding architecture of the villa, its easy access to the sea and the town makes this villa irresistible and truly one of a kind. This rare property is ideal for entertaining as well as quiet family vacation directly on the sea.    MHTE: 1173Κ91001092001 License: 1173Κ91001092001
