Myconian Villa Collection – Preferred Hotels & Resorts

Myconian Villa Collection – Preferred Hotels & Resorts Overview

First Impressions

When you first pull up to Myconian Villa Collection – Preferred Hotels & Resorts, honestly, it feels like you’ve stumbled onto someone’s private estate rather than a hotel. The property sits right on Elia Beach — and I mean right on it, not a five-minute walk like some places claim. You know what struck me most? The way the whitewashed buildings cascade down toward the Aegean, each villa positioned so you’re not staring into your neighbor’s breakfast. This five-star luxury retreat gets the whole privacy thing right from the moment you arrive.

The Elia Beach Advantage

Elia is actually one of Mykonos’ longest beaches, which means there’s space to breathe even during peak season. The hotel’s position here is pretty brilliant — you’re far enough from Mykonos Town to escape the party chaos, but close enough that a taxi ride doesn’t break the bank. What I really appreciated was having that gorgeous stretch of golden sand basically as your backyard. The water here stays relatively calm compared to some of the northern beaches, and the restaurant scene nearby is solid without being touristy.

Villa Life

Each room here is actually more like a private sanctuary — the suites feel enormous, with those signature Cycladic curves and terraces that make you want to spend half your day just lounging outside. The marble bathrooms are something else entirely, and honestly, the attention to detail in the furnishings shows why this place partners with Preferred Hotels & Resorts. Most villas come with either sea or garden views, though if you can swing it, the sea-facing ones are worth every extra euro. The way they’ve designed the outdoor spaces means you get that luxury resort feeling while still maintaining intimacy.

Beyond the Beach

The spa treatments here lean heavily into local ingredients — think honey, olive oil, and sea salt — which sounds cliché but actually works beautifully. I spent some time at their fitness center, which overlooks the water and makes morning workouts almost enjoyable (almost). The staff arranges fishing excursions if you’re into that, and the fact that there’s free parking on-site is a genuine relief on an island where finding a spot can be a nightmare. The infinity pool area becomes this perfect social hub in the evenings, but never feels crowded.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples absolutely adore this place — and after staying here, I get why they rate the location so highly. There’s something about waking up to unobstructed Aegean views and having immediate beach access that just works for romance. The service strikes that perfect balance between attentive and unobtrusive, and the overall vibe manages to feel both sophisticated and relaxed. You’re getting genuine luxury here without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with it. Plus, being right on Elia means you can easily explore other beaches by boat or just settle in and make this your Mykonos base — either way works perfectly.

The luxury concierge service in Mykonos secures helipad transfers, villa chefs, and moonlit tables at hidden beach fêtes.
