The Mykonist Merchia Beach Villas & Suites

The Mykonist Merchia Beach Villas & Suites Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to The Mykonist Merchia Beach Villas & Suites, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this stretch of Mykonos. Merchia Beach isn’t one of those famous spots you see plastered all over Instagram — and that’s actually part of its charm. This four-star property sits right on the sand, which means you’re literally steps away from the water without fighting crowds for a decent spot.

The Accommodations

The villa I stayed in felt more like a friend’s beach house than a typical hotel room. You know what really impressed me? The space — these aren’t cramped quarters where you’re bumping into furniture every time you turn around. The suites have this relaxed, whitewashed aesthetic that feels authentically Greek without being too themed, if that makes sense. Large windows let in tons of natural light, and the private terraces are perfect for that morning coffee ritual (trust me on this one).

Location & Beach Access

Here’s the thing about Merchia Beach — it’s quieter than the main party beaches, but you’re not completely isolated either. I mean, couples clearly love it here for a reason, and after spending a few days, I get why. The beach itself has this lovely mix of organized sections with loungers and more natural areas where you can just spread out a towel. The water’s that brilliant Aegean blue you came to Greece for, and the swimming is actually quite good since the bay offers some protection from stronger winds.

Dining & Practical Matters

Breakfast here is more substantial than I expected — they do a proper buffet with both continental options and vegetarian choices, plus they’ll pack you a breakfast to go if you’re planning an early ferry or want to picnic somewhere. The restaurant focuses on fresh, local ingredients, and honestly, the seafood is what you’d hope for this close to the water. One practical note that’ll save you some hassle — there’s free parking right on site, which is actually a big deal in Mykonos where finding a spot can be a real headache.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is the balance it strikes. You get that beachfront location and the space to spread out, but without the chaos of the more famous resort areas. The staff seems to genuinely care about making sure you’re comfortable rather than just going through the motions. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the island without feeling like you’re missing out on the authentic Greek experience. For couples especially, there’s something really appealing about having your own little corner of Mykonos to enjoy.

Mykonos’s apartments welcome families with shaded splash pools, concierge grocery drops, and easy ferries to Delos.
