Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own private terraces, perfect for admiring the sunrise in the morning, or sipping cocktails as the sun sets.
The tiered terrace is the star of the show, and the one hundred and forty square metre lagoon style infinity pool is its centrepiece. The pool is surrounded by modern grey mesh sun loungers, strategically positioned for maximum sea views. The adjacent one hundred and forty square metre sail-shaped pergola is home to a comfy grey cushioned soft seating area, ideal for seeking some shade from the afternoon sun and catching up with this year’s bestseller. Spend the day lazing in the hammock, taking morning coffee at one of the many seating spots, before meeting for sundowner cocktails on the terrace. Eat alfresco at the outside undercover dining table, served with local delicacies grilled on the barbeque.
Villa Ophronia is located on the southern tip of the island of Mykonos, situated on the hillside, eighty metres above sea level, overlooking Elia bay and the beach. The exclusive island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is just two kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping, then nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. The new port of Mykonos is a hub of activity for those landing and departing from island hopping ferries, or super yachts cruising the Aegean, and is a quick twenty five minute drive to the villa.
The villa is near to the resort town of Elia on the south coast, famous for its white sandy beaches, and stylish seafront restaurants. Agrari is the nearest beach, offering a selection of water sports, a playground, and cafes and bars, and the south coast beaches have calmer sea waters. Near the villa there is a tennis court, fitness centre, and fishing opportunities. You’ll be surprised by how much there is to see and do on this small but oh so charming island. The coastline is populated by many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby nudist Elia beach, to the family-friendly favourite of Plays Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Super Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos. During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture.
Take a visit to Mykonos town, known locally at Chora, and only four kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Then take a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo and watching the beautiful people pass by. Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out of town to Lena’s House to discover how the original islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, known as Kato Mili, where once the wheat was ground to make bread, and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where original merchant houses overhang the sea, and is now home to cafes, bars, restaurants and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning and an essential asset of Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea, or if you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches. For the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a unesco World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
