with its reputation for being a party paradise, favoured by celebrities and international a-listers, mykonos has gradually established itself as one of the top luxury destinations in the mediterranean.
with its reputation for being a party paradise, favoured by celebrities and international a-listers, mykonos is a small island in the cyclades which has acquired a big reputation over the past few decades.
a summer destination just 40 minutes flight time from athens, it offers beautiful beaches, frenzied nightlife, high-end restaurants and superb accommodation ranging from cliff-top villas to boho boutique hotels. this is also an island with a strong lgbt culture and a destination where anyone who is someone has a designer villa, or at least knows where the most exclusive hotels are. fashionistas and socialites fly in discreetly and stay in privé hideaways or hang out in their super yachts in one of the island’s well-known bays while paparazzi bring out the telescopic lenses for superstar headshots.
the jenners and hadids can be seen vying for attention with the likes of the ultra rich, be that footballers like ronaldinho, fashion icons like georgio armani or hollywood stars like hugh jackman. paradise and super paradise beaches are the places to hang out while ornos, psarou and platis yalos are also known for being celebrity faves, surpassing the now très passé ibiza. dining is an elevated pastime on mykonos, with all-day restaurants like scorpios offering chilled-out cabana style ambience and fresh seafood while interni is for cosmopolitan foodies who like to overindulge on ceviche and champagne.
matogianni street boasts designer boutiques and chic cafés while the scenic waterfront spot known as ‘little venice’ sports colourful verandahs hanging over the lapping waves. mykonos offers a myriad of experiences and a wander through its pretty bougainvillea bedecked alleyways evokes a real sense of island life mixed with sophisticated vibes.
sereno occupies an elevated hillside position overlooking the aegean, with uninterrupted views extending across the water towards the surrounding coastline and neighbouring islands. designed in the cycladic architectural tradition, the residence is composed of whitewashed volumes, soft curves and natural stone elements that follow the contours of the terrain, allowing the house to settle naturally into the landscape. throughout the day, the changing quality of light shapes the experience of the property, while after sunset the coastline begin s to emerge gradually in the distance.
spanning 600 sqm across three levels, the residence has been planned to balance generous living spaces with a strong sense of privacy and connection to its surroundings. the interiors follow a restrained palette of pale stone, white surfaces and natural materials, creating spaces that feel calm, light-filled and closely connected to the views beyond. rather than relying on decorative detail, the architecture draws its character from proportion, natural light and the constant presence of the sea.
the principal living spaces occupy the upper level, where the house opens broadly towards the horizon. large glazed openings connect the interior directly with the terraces, allowing the boundaries between inside and outside to recede during much of the year. the orientation ensures that sea views remain visible throughout the main living areas, while the arrangement of the spaces encourages a natural flow between different parts of the house and the landscape beyond.
the middle level accommodates five en-suite bedrooms together with additional leisure spaces, while the lower level provides further guest accommodation and supporting areas. several rooms open directly onto private terraces overlooking the sea, while others face quieter outdoor spaces integrated into the hillside. throughout the residence, the architecture maintains a consistent language of simplicity and openness, allowing each level to remain connected to the setting while preserving privacy.
outdoor areas are arranged as a natural extension of the house itself. broad terraces unfold across different levels of the property, creating a variety of spaces that respond to changing light, views and weather conditions throughout the day. the terraced configuration enhances the relationship between the architecture and the landscape while ensuring a notable sense of seclusion despite the openness of the setting.
sereno combines the scale of a substantial private residence with the restraint of traditional cycladic architecture. the house remains visually composed within its surroundings, using orientation, proportion and natural materials to establish a lasting connection with the sea and the landscape that defines this part of the aegean. as evening settles across the water, the horizon remains visible long after the sun has disappeared, with distant coastal lights gradually emerging across the bay.
