Divina Villa, Elia, Mykonos

Resort-worthy outdoor living spaces, magazine-worthy interiors and wide-open ocean views make Divina a truly heavenly getaway.

Thoughtfully designed and well appointed, this brand new luxury vacation rental has eight bedrooms in a main house and two guest houses, perfect for groups of family or friends who want to spend time together but enjoy a few private moments as well. Located just minutes from beautiful Elia Beach, the villa is close to some of the island’s most up-and-coming areas, but still has a quiet, secluded feel.

You’ll have no trouble settling in at Divina: simply stretch out on a lounge chair in the sun or on one of the built-in sofas on the pergola-covered terrace and let the sea breezes blow your cares away. Take in the views across the Aegean from the deck or the free-form infinity pool. Sip a drink from the outdoor bar while you wait for local seafood to finish cooking on the barbecue, and set the mood for dinner at the al-fresco dining area by flipping on the outdoor sound system. For evening entertainment, the villa has both Wi-Fi and an overhead projector.

Laid out by a professional interior designer, Divina is furnished with an eye to both style and function. In both the outdoor and indoor living spaces, the traditional Greek isles look—heavy on stone, wood, stucco and pops of blue and white—gets a refined update, using a toned-down palette of soft creams, grays and greens. But the look is still fresh and comfortable, with built-in sofas welcoming guests in the living room and a built-in banquette providing plenty of seating in the dining area. In the fully equipped kitchen, beamed ceilings and stone walls play off modern appliances and a contemporary polished concrete countertop.

There are three bedrooms in the main house at Divina, three in the first guest house and two in the second guest house; all except one bedroom in the second guest house have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. A mix of double beds and two twin beds in the bedrooms offers a variety of sleeping arrangements, and kitchenettes in the guest houses give you the option of eating separately or all together.

Your holiday starts with a ferry to the island or a flight to Mykonos Island National Airport, 5.5 miles from the villa. From Divina, it’s just over a half-mile to the soft sand and clear waters of Elia Beach, but if you have a few days, it’s also worth visiting Panormos Beach, 7 miles away, and Agios Stefanos Beach, just under 8 miles away. Plan a honeymoon-worthy dinner at an oceanfront restaurant or an exciting night out in lively central Mykonos, 6 miles away.

Sleeps 16: Euro 3.150 - $3,344 / Euro 4.400 - $4,667 / night
