Villa Paradisia | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Southern Aegean
Holiday Home Rental Description
Twelve guests arrive at Villa Paradisia in Tourlos, Mykonos, and the first thing that strikes them isn’t the whitewashed walls or the infinity pool—it’s the silence. Built into the hillside overlooking the new harbour, this five-bedroom luxury villa rental in Mykonos commands an unobstructed view across the Aegean that makes conversation stop mid-sentence. The island itself measures only 10 by 15 kilometres, yet this property manages to feel utterly isolated, despite being a two-minute drive from soft sand beaches and the energy of the island’s most exclusive village.
Inside Villa Paradisia
Villa Paradisia sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, split between the main residence and a separate guest studio. The architecture speaks for itself: a single-storey, architect-designed structure of 450 square metres, constructed from the island’s traditional whitewashed walls but with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass that dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. Light floods constantly. Sea breezes flow through.
The main house contains four ensuite bedrooms plus the master suite. The master bedroom faces south and east, with its own private terrace furnished with loungers that catch the morning sun. You wake to the sound of the harbour below, the scent of salt air, and enough light to read by 6 a.m. The ensuite bathroom adjoins the bedroom, with a separate dressing room where luggage doesn’t require negotiation. Three further double bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, occupy the opposite wing. These rooms share a furnished terrace oriented toward the sea views, making them ideal for families or close friends who want both privacy and proximity.
The main living and entertaining space flows openly. A sea-view sitting room with a white corner sofa and satellite television opens directly onto the pool terrace through sliding doors that can be fully retracted. The dining room features a handcrafted wood table and chairs—the kind of surface that encourages lingering over meals and conversations that stretch into evening. The kitchen is dove grey and stainless steel, fully equipped with commercial-grade appliances. Adjacent to it sits a dedicated wine room, temperature-controlled and stocked with premium vintages, accessible directly from the kitchen.
A playroom provides space for children or flexible accommodation. The state-of-the-art gym sits between the bedroom wings, equipped with free weights and modern cardio machines, with its own separate bathroom and WC.
The guest studio functions as a completely independent apartment with its own living area, kitchenette, and two ensuite double bedrooms. It can operate as a single larger suite or be divided into two smaller units, making it flexible for multi-generational groups or couples traveling together who want semi-private space.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Step onto the terrace and the real magic emerges. Five thousand square metres of meticulously landscaped grounds surround the villa. Indigenous shrubs and lavender plantings frame the 20-metre infinity pool—clean-lined and minimalist, 4 metres wide, the water’s edge appearing to spill directly into the harbour views beyond. Deep cushioned loungers, positioned to capture maximum sun exposure and uninterrupted sightlines, line the pool’s length. Morning coffee happens on the soft-cushioned lounge seating. Sunset cocktails happen at the same spot, with nothing between you and the horizon but the Aegean’s shimmer.
The 500 square metre decked terrace extends the entertaining space. An alfresco dining set seats ten. The barbecue sits ready for freshly grilled fish or lamb. In the evenings, the purpose-built home cinema activates—a projector mounted on the terrace beams films onto a screen while you recline under the stars. The sound system reaches every corner of the deck. On clear nights, the Milky Way competes with the projection.
Air conditioning runs throughout the property. Wi-Fi reaches every room and every corner of the terrace. Three private parking spaces sit discretely away from the main entertaining areas. The heated pool maintains temperature year-round, extending the swimming season from April through November.
Location: Tourlos and the Surrounding Area
Tourlos sits on the north-west coast of Mykonos, a fabulously cosmopolitan village where celebrity-spotting seafront bars neighbour traditional tavernas. The village is just 5 kilometres from Chora, Mykonos Town, where the iconic windmills (known locally as Kato Mili) stand above the maze of narrow, colourful Cycladic streets. The Archaeological Museum, Folk Museum, and Maritime Museum cluster in the old town, each providing genuine historical context—not tourist theatre. Little Venice, where original merchant houses overhang the waterfront, now houses stylish restaurants and art galleries along the water’s edge.
Beaches ring the island. Tourlos Beach itself lies 2 kilometres away—golden sand, calm waters, popular with families. Agios Stephanos, 4 kilometres north, is known for family-friendly facilities and local tavernas serving fresh fish. Paradise Beach, 8 kilometres south, operates as the island’s main party beach, with clubs, resident DJs, and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming. Ornos Beach, 6 kilometres south, offers a sheltered cove with excellent restaurants and bars. Kalafati Beach, 12 kilometres south-east, stretches for 800 metres and remains quieter than the main beaches.
The island itself has eight hundred churches. Paraportiani, in Chora, combines four distinct architectural styles into a single structure unlike anywhere else in Greece. The Church of St George Spilinnos, carved into the rocky hillside, dates back centuries. Both are within 6 kilometres of Villa Paradisia.
For day trips, charter a yacht from the main port—captains can be arranged to take you to secret coves or organize sunset cruises with cocktails. The uninhabited island of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and birthplace of Zeus, lies 13 kilometres away. The island of Tinos, famous for its dovecotes and fifty villages, sits just 8 kilometres north and is reachable by a 30-minute ferry. The nearby islands of Naxos and Syros both have their own airports if you want to island-hop during your stay.
Mykonos Airport sits 12 kilometres away, approximately a 20-minute drive. It’s served by both Greek domestic carriers and international operators, with connections to Athens, other Greek islands, and major European cities.

The best time to visit is May through September. May and September offer warm weather (25–27°C) with fewer crowds than July and August. June and September also feature calmer seas, ideal for boat trips and swimming. July and August peak at 28–29°C but bring the highest visitor numbers and strongest meltemia winds. April and October are shoulder seasons with pleasant weather but occasional rain. Winter (November–March) is mild but rainy, and many island restaurants close seasonally.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Villa Paradisia functions perfectly for multi-generational family holidays. The separate guest studio allows grandparents privacy without isolation. The gym, playroom, and calm waters near Tourlos and Agios Stephanos beaches create a compound where age groups can pursue different activities while remaining connected.
Groups of friends—specifically those numbering eight to twelve and seeking cohesion without constant togetherness—find the dual main-house and guest-studio layout ideal. The home cinema and barbecue setup encourage collective evenings; the separate bedrooms and terraces allow daytime dispersal.
Couples or smaller groups who want to rent the entire property for privacy and exclusivity rather than share with other guests will appreciate the scale. The guest studio can remain completely closed, leaving only the main four-bedroom house in use.
Executives or entrepreneurs organizing a working retreat will benefit from the reliable Wi-Fi, the quiet location despite proximity to island energy, and the ability to host client dinners on the terrace. The gym supports fitness routines. The location offers visibility as a statement venue without the transparency of a public hotel.
