Mykonos Residence Villas & Suites Merchia Beach

Mykonos Residence Villas & Suites Merchia Beach Overview

First Impressions

The Mykonos Residence Villas & Suites Merchia Beach sits right on one of Mykonos‘ quieter stretches of coastline, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. When you pull up, you’re not dealing with the chaos of Mykonos Town or the packed beaches — instead, you get this sense of having found something a bit more exclusive. The four-star property has that clean, Cycladic architecture you expect, but there’s something more intimate about the scale here. It feels like a place locals might actually recommend rather than just another tourist trap.

The Accommodation

I stayed in one of their suites, and the space actually surprised me — these aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms. Each room has this airy feel with those classic white walls and pops of blue that somehow never get old in the Greek islands. The private terraces are where you’ll probably spend most of your time though, especially if you snag one with direct sea views. You know what I appreciated? The kitchenette setup actually works if you want to grab some local ingredients from the market and avoid eating out every single meal.

Beach Access and Location

Merchia Beach is right there — I mean literally a few steps from your door. It’s not the most famous beach on the island, which is precisely why it works so well. You get that crystal-clear Aegean water without fighting for a spot on the sand. The beach has a more relaxed vibe during the day, though it can get livelier in the evenings when people discover it. What’s clever about the location is you’re close enough to Mykonos Town (about a 10-minute drive) when you want the nightlife, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night.

Dining and Amenities

The on-site restaurant focuses on Mediterranean cuisine with a strong Greek influence — nothing groundbreaking, but they do it well. I’d recommend trying their seafood dishes since they source locally, and the setting right by the water makes even a simple meal feel special. The pool area is another highlight, especially in the late afternoon when the light hits just right. There’s also parking available, which might seem minor until you’ve tried finding a spot in Mykonos Town during peak season.

Why Guests Love It

This place really shines for couples looking for that balance between relaxation and accessibility to the island’s attractions. The staff seems to understand that guests want to feel like they’re experiencing the real Mykonos, not just a resort bubble. You’ll find yourself chatting with other travelers who’ve clearly done their research — this isn’t where the cruise ship crowds end up. The combination of beachfront location, well-designed accommodations, and that slightly off-the-beaten-path feel creates something that feels both authentic and comfortable. It’s the kind of place where you might extend your stay by a day or two, just because leaving feels premature.

Hotels near me in Mykonos deliver quick buggy rides to Kalo Livadi sands, beach yoga decks, and hidden coves.
