Mykonian Shimmer

Mykonian elegance is on full display at this white-washed villa, perched on the craggy hills above the Aegean Sea. With the ocean stretched out before you and a sunny terrace where you can drink in the scenery, it'll be hard to feel anything but relaxed here. We can already picture ourselves floating the day away in the infinity pool – which feels like it flows right into the horizon – and snoozing on the lounge chairs in the late afternoon sun. When evening falls, make a beeline for the barbecue and dig into an alfresco feast as the sun goes down over the water. Better yet, why not take your holiday to the next level and hire a private chef to do all the cooking for you?

Inside is just as serene, with plenty of classic Grecian charm. Grab a book and curl up on the built-in sofa – the views are incredible from the windows – or kick back with a glass of wine and catch up on your favourite Netflix shows. If you fancy a day out, you're in luck – buzzing Mykonos Town is a twelve-minute drive away. Wander down the postcard-perfect streets in search of delicious eateries, artisan boutiques and lively bars (you'll find plenty of hidden gems) or, if the beach is calling your name, make the ten-minute drive to Paralia Korfos and sprawl out on the sand.
