Sweet as Sugar

In the rugged Choulakia area of Mykonos, this sugar-cube villa has gasp-worthy views of the Aegean at every turn. We reckon the best spot to take in these vistas is from the cool of the lagoon-like pool, which softly slips into turquoise depth. The terrace feels endless, with a huge outdoor lounge shaded by a bamboo pergola, loungers beneath macrame parasols and an outdoor kitchen for long dinners outside. And that’s just ground-level. There are also a couple of first-floor balconies and a fabulous rooftop terrace which feels like your personal taverna overlooking the unrivalled sunset views.

Inside, boho touches like cacti, raw-wood accents and pristine white sofas create the perfect chill-out space. Airy bedrooms are all ensuite, and lead to private balconies and directly out to terraces. This place is designed with days outdoors in mind, but the open-plan living area dominating the ground floor makes for an equally social spot for the group to get together.

Home truths:
*In a remote location, having a car is recommended and there is plenty of private parking with this villa
*The swimming pool is not fenced in so children should be supervised outside
*This villa is split over two levels so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Three of the bedrooms are in separate garden apartments with their own entrances
