Villa Deacon | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Elia

The southern coastline of Mykonos reveals itself most dramatically from Villa Deacon, where Elia Bay stretches beneath your terrace like an invitation to twelve guests simultaneously. A luxury villa rental in Elia presenting six bedroom suites across meticulously designed indoor and outdoor spaces, this 2022-built residence commands over 4,000 square meters of private land overlooking the Aegean Sea. Stone walls enclose gardens and tiered terraces; Mediterranean whitewashed architecture frames panoramic water views that dominate every sightline from dawn through sunset.

Inside Villa Deacon

Villa Deacon sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms distributed across two distinct buildings. The main residence opens onto its ground floor with an expansive open-plan kitchen featuring island seating, flowing directly into a dining space and generous living quarters. Two bedroom suites occupy this level: one with a queen-size bed, the second with twins convertible to double configuration, each with en suite shower rooms and pool terrace access. A guest WC and staircase to the upper floor complete this entertaining zone.

Ascend to the upper level and discover the master suite—a queen-bedded sanctuary with an open-plan bathroom showcasing a freestanding tub positioned to capture Aegean views. This is where morning light floods in unobstructed, and where the distant sound of waves becomes your bedroom’s ambient soundtrack.

The lower level operates as an independent unit, a configuration that appeals to multi-generational groups seeking privacy alongside togetherness. This floor contains its own open-plan kitchen, living quarters, and dining area. Two additional bedroom suites reside here: one queen-bedded, one with convertible twins, both with en suite bathrooms and private outdoor access. A heated Jacuzzi for six occupies this level’s outdoor zone.

A sixth suite operates as a standalone studio within the property grounds, featuring a convertible queen bed, full en suite bathroom, and its own kitchenette—ideal for staff, older teens, or guests seeking semi-autonomous accommodation.

Throughout all spaces: contemporary styling emphasizes natural wood furnishings against a palette of soft greys and beiges. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each suite dissolve the boundary between interior and terrace. Smart home technology—touchscreen climate controls, individual air conditioning, satellite television—operates invisibly. Complimentary Wi-Fi reaches every corner. Daily maid service maintains impeccable standards; towels refresh daily and linens change thrice weekly.

The gym occupies a dedicated space with state-of-the-art Matrix equipment, mirrored walls, shower facilities, and individual entertainment screens—the kind of facility that transforms a six-day holiday into six mornings of disciplined activity.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Four tiered terraces cascade downward, each offering distinct entertaining possibilities. The crowning feature: an 82-square-meter infinity pool with a shallow lounging area and built-in Jacuzzi, surrounded by carefully positioned sun loungers and parasols that maximize sea-facing orientation. A poolside shower rinses salt water away; a sunken lounge nook with integrated fireplace transforms evening gatherings into intimate occasions under Cycladic stars.

The outdoor kitchen stands fully equipped for serious culinary ambition—gas grills, prep surfaces, refrigeration, wine storage. A 12-seat alfresco dining table accommodates the villa’s maximum occupancy in one gathering. A bar with high seating overlooks the pool and bay simultaneously. Covered lounge areas with soft furnishings provide refuge from midday heat or unexpected wind.

Beyond the entertaining infrastructure lies the helipad—a practical feature for guests whose schedules or preferences demand helicopter arrival rather than the 11-kilometer drive from Mykonos Airport. Pergolas create dappled shade across garden zones where Mediterranean plantings release fragrance during warm months. Stone walls, whitewashed surfaces, and natural terracing create the illusion that the villa grew organically from the hillside rather than being constructed upon it.

Location: Elia and the Surrounding Area

Elia occupies the southern shoulder of Mykonos, 11 kilometers from Mykonos Airport, typically a 20-minute transfer by road depending on traffic and ferry arrivals.
