The latest opening on the Greek Island of Mykonos is a group of four luxury villas from the team behind Saint John Hotel

The Resident:

A new collection of luxury villas has opened on the Greek Island of Mykonos, right on the water’s edge. Akon Villas are four luxury properties, with three, four, five or six bedrooms, making it ideal for families or friends travelling together.

All have private pools, a jacuzzi and views of the beach from lovely terraces. The villas are decked out in the crisp white décor that we associate Greek islands with, and alongside the bright white interiors are pops of colour and eclectic furniture.

While a fully-equipped kitchen means you can rustle up Mediterranean lunches and enjoy long suppers in the evening sun, you can also venture into nearby Mykonos Town for traditional Greek nightlife. Or, if crystal clear seas are what you seek, visit Agios Ioannis bay for some of the most impressive beaches on the island.

It is also here that the island’s Saint John Hotel is located, a sister property to the villas and an all-bells and whistles resort with six restaurants on site. Although Akon Villas exist aside from hotel, guests are allowed to use its facilities whenever they like.

The villas are booking up fast but do still have availability for the summer, for more information, see saintjohn.gr/saint_john_villas
