Villa Erastos | 2-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Elia

Elia Beach sits 200 metres from your terrace. The Aegean spreads before you in shades of turquoise and deep blue, and this is where Villa Erastos claims its ground on Mykonos—a two-bedroom sanctuary positioned where the island’s longest stretch of silver sand meets an exclusive four-villa compound. This luxury villa rental in Elia accommodates up to 5 guests and commands views that frame your entire stay.

Inside Villa Erastos

Villa Erastos sleeps 5 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The ground floor opens as a single flowing space—living, dining, and kitchen integrated with thoughtful design. SMEG appliances line the kitchen bench, modern and purposeful, while the dining table sits ready for breakfasts overlooking water. Built-in seating in the living area curves along the interior, upholstered and generous. Large sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and the covered alfresco terrace beyond.

The principal bedroom features a substantial double bed and an ensuite shower room with curved white walls in the traditional Cycladic style. A secondary furnished terrace extends from this room, creating a private retreat within the villa. The second bedroom also houses a double bed with matching ensuite facilities. Both bedrooms feature high ceilings and natural light that shifts throughout the day. A third bedroom serves staff or provides flexible guest accommodation. The utility room houses a washing machine and connects to practical storage.

Lighting throughout responds to mood and time of day. Contemporary LED systems illuminate the interior with precision, warming as evening approaches. The kitchen opens to quality dining furniture on the exterior terrace, where stylish pendant fixtures cast pools of light across the table after sunset.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step through those floor-to-ceiling doors and the landscape reveals itself gradually. The covered dining terrace stretches across the front of the villa, furnished for al fresco meals with sight lines to the sea. Beyond lies the focal point: a swimming pool with an integrated Jacuzzi area, surrounded by quality sun loungers and a lush green lawn that softens the transition to the surrounding scrubland. A barbecue station sits ready for evening entertaining. The entire exterior terrace benefits from an sophisticated LED lighting system—practical by day, atmospheric after dark.

Views sweep across the Aegean without interruption. This is the quality of space that makes you understand why people choose Greek islands. You can watch the sun descend toward the horizon from the lounge terrace, the light shifting from gold to rose to purple. Elia’s character—busy with watersports operators and beachside tavernas during daylight—becomes quieter, more contemplative in these evening hours, and from Villa Erastos you experience both modes without being consumed by either.

The pool maintains a comfortable temperature year-round. Two parking spaces sit adjacent to the villa, and access is straightforward despite the elevated position overlooking the beach.

Location: Elia and the Surrounding Area

Elia Beach stretches 2km along the southeastern coast of Mykonos, making it one of the longest continuous sandy shores on the island. Its proximity to Villa Erastos—mere minutes on foot—means you can move between the villa’s tranquility and the beach’s social energy with ease. Elia caters to active holidaymakers: windsurfing schools operate from the southern end, beach bars serve lunch and aperitifs, and tavernas line the waterfront. The beach shelves gradually into clear water, making it family-friendly despite the regular swell that attracts board riders.

Adjacent to Elia sits Agrari Beach, quieter and less developed, popular with those seeking calmer waters and fewer crowds. Kalafatis, 2.5km south, commands reputation for consistent wind conditions—kitesurfers and windsurfers congregate here, and the beach bar culture mirrors that of Elia but with younger energy. Kalo Livadi, 1.5km east, offers a different character: a working fishing village with authentic tavernas where the daily catch appears on menus, and golden sand that sees fewer day-trippers.

The village of Ano Mera sits 3km inland, inland enough to feel genuinely removed from beach tourism. Narrow cobbled streets open onto small squares where tavernas serve traditional island food, and patisseries display local pastries. A large supermarket operates here, alongside a pharmacy and post office—practical necessities that don’t require journeys to Mykonos Town. The restored Panagia Tourlaina Monastery, positioned above the village, houses religious iconography and paintings within whitewashed walls, and commands views across the island’s interior.

Mykonos Town, 12km northwest, functions as the island’s cultural and commercial centre. The warren of narrow lanes lined with bougainvillea contains art galleries, designer boutiques, restaurants ranging from casual to Michelin-recognised, and sites including the Archaeological Museum (displaying Cycladic figurines and ancient jewellery) and the Aegean Maritime Museum (showcasing nautical instruments and vessels spanning centuries). Matogliani Street—draped in magenta flowers—concentrates luxury shopping. This is where the island’s nightlife concentrates; the sophisticated beach clubs at Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach, 8km north, feature international DJs during summer months.

The Mykonos Brewing Company, the island’s sole microbrewery, offers tastings of unusual barrel-aged and experimental beers while staff share local mythology. The northeastern beaches—Panormos, Ftelia, Kalafatis—appeal to windsurfers and kitesurfers pursuing consistent Etesian winds during summer.

Mykonos National Airport sits 4km south of Villa Erastos, a 10-minute drive. Transfer services can be arranged, or rental cars provide flexibility for exploring the island’s 90km of coastline. The island has no railway; all ground transport relies on car, motorcycle, quad, or taxi.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Erastos accommodates two couples sharing a holiday, or a small family with one or two children and either extended family or close friends. The two ensuite bedrooms provide privacy for each couple, while the staff bedroom offers flexibility—housing help during longer stays, or accommodating a teenager or older child. The pool suits families; shallow zones allow younger swimmers to enjoy water safely, and loungers provide supervision sightlines.

Couples seeking beach proximity without resort atmosphere find Villa Erastos strategically positioned. Elia is accessible for those who want dining or activity, yet the villa’s elevation and private pool mean you need not venture out daily.

The on-site concierge service suits guests who appreciate practical support: dinner reservations at restaurants in Mykonos Town or Ano Mera, activity bookings (boat charters, spa treatments, guides), or simply advice on quieter beaches when crowds peak. Transfer arrangements simplify arrival logistics.

Families travelling with infants find high chairs, cots, and the proximity to supermarkets in Ano Mera practical. The villa’s position—elevated enough to feel private, yet close enough to beach facilities for families—represents a calculated middle ground.
