set above agrari beach on mykonos’ southern coastline, this eight-bedroom residence occupies a sheltered hillside position with uninterrupted views across the aegean and direct access to one of the island’s quieter sandy bays. built into the natural contours of the terrain, the property follows the landscape through a series of interconnected volumes and terraces that step gently towards the sea, creating a strong sense of privacy while remaining just ten minutes from mykonos town.
the south-facing orientation brings consistent natural light throughout the day while offering protection from the prevailing northern winds that characterise much of the island. from its elevated position, the residence enjoys wide views across the coastline and open water, with the surrounding landscape becoming an integral part of the experience of the house.
the architecture draws on traditional cycladic forms, combining whitewashed surfaces, simple geometric volumes and natural materials with a more relaxed contemporary character. inside, the interiors maintain a restrained palette of pale stone, white-painted timber and soft tones that reflect the colours of the surrounding landscape. curved openings and carefully proportioned spaces soften the architecture, while wide connections to the exterior allow the house to remain closely linked to its setting.
the principal living areas are arranged to take full advantage of the views and natural light, creating a continuous flow between interior and exterior spaces. throughout the house, the emphasis remains on openness, ease of movement and a direct relationship with the landscape beyond. materials are intentionally understated, creating an atmosphere that feels calm and informal rather than highly structured or decorative.
accommodation is arranged across eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with the layout designed to provide both privacy and independence for residents and guests. several bedrooms occupy quieter areas of the property and connect directly to outdoor spaces, while the elevated position ensures that sea views remain a constant presence throughout much of the residence.
the outdoor areas unfold across multiple levels, following the natural slope of the hillside and creating a variety of spaces with different orientations and perspectives. broad terraces extend towards the horizon, while shaded areas provide shelter throughout the warmer months. the overall composition allows the property to respond naturally to the changing light, offering sun and shade at different times of day while maintaining uninterrupted views across the bay.
agrari beach lies directly below the property and can be reached on foot within approximately ten minutes. despite this close connection to the coastline, the residence retains a notable sense of seclusion. as the afternoon light moves across the hillside, the contours of the landscape become more pronounced, while the sea remains the defining feature of the view stretching beyond the bay.
