About this property
Set on the sunlit slopes of Kounoupas Hill, Villa Daphira enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views across the Aegean Sea. Defined by traditional stonework and crisp white façades, the villa reflects classic Cycladic architecture while offering a calm, contemporary retreat. Inside, the layout is thoughtfully arranged across a single level, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living. Three well-appointed master bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, open directly onto private terraces, allowing sea views and soft morning light to shape the start of each day.
The open-plan living space combines relaxed lounge seating with a streamlined, fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Natural tones, coastal textures and understated finishes give the interiors a light, composed feel, ideal for unhurried breakfasts, shared meals or quiet afternoons out of the sun. Large openings draw in the island breeze, seamlessly connecting the interiors with the terraces beyond.
Outside, one hundred and seventy square metres of terracing frame the private swimming pool, complete with a built-in Jacuzzi overlooking the coastline. Sun loungers, shaded pergolas and carefully landscaped planting provide both comfort and privacy within the gated complex, creating inviting spaces to relax throughout the day.
Despite its peaceful setting, Villa Daphira is well located for exploring Mykonos. Mykonos Town is just over ten minutes away, while the airport can be reached in under five minutes, making this hilltop hideaway both secluded and conveniently placed for island living.
Villa Daphira enjoys a privileged position on Kounoupas hill, one of Mykonos’ most sought-after elevated areas, known for its sweeping sea views and easy access to the island’s major attractions. The villa is part of an exclusive complex, yet each home is designed for privacy, meaning you’re close to the action without sacrificing a moment of peace.
Just over ten minutes’ drive from Mykonos Town, guests can dive straight into the island’s irresistible blend of history, glamour and laid-back charm. Here, cobbled streets wind past whitewashed buildings with bright shutters and tumbling bougainvillaea, leading to designer boutiques, vibrant cafés, and iconic windmills watching over the old harbour. From art galleries to open-air bars, the town is a feast for the senses, with something to discover at every turn.
Closer to home, Mykonos Airport is conveniently under five minutes by car, ideal for short transfers, while the main port is around 15 minutes away, connecting you to nearby islands or ferry day-trips. Beaches are never far on Mykonos, and from Villa Daphira you can easily reach the golden sands of Psarou, Paraga or Super Paradise. Whether you prefer a lively beach club scene or a tucked-away cove, there's a spot for every pace.
The region around Kounoupas is dotted with vineyards, family-run tavernas and scenic viewpoints, offering a quieter contrast to the town’s buzz. For those interested in the island’s heritage, the nearby Monastery of Panagia Tourliani in Ano Mera offers a glimpse into Mykonos’ spiritual and architectural traditions.
Outdoor lovers can hike the surrounding hills or take to the sea with a sailing trip or guided snorkelling excursion. The island’s blend of glamour, nature, and Greek tradition creates a unique energy that’s impossible to resist.
Villa Daphira places you in the heart of it all, with the space to savour every moment in your own time.
