Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Argaios isn’t just the villa of your dreams, it’s the vacation destination of your wildest fantasy. This incredible eight ensuite bedroom villa, with three private pools, a fully equipped spa, bar, gym, and a couple of Jacuzzis, will simply take your breath away.
Villa Argaios is situated on a promontory rocky hillside, overlooking beautiful Kalo Livadi bay and the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, and can be found on the southernmost tip of the cosmopolitan cool island of Mykonos. The villa can accommodate in some comfort and a lot of style, up to sixteen guests, and as all things eclectic Mykonos, that could be ideal for a large family gathering, a group of friends’ celebratory party, or a mindfulness yoga retreat. The focus of your stay here is on relaxation, wellness, healing, and catharsis, and the property has been designed with your well-being in mind, from watching the sun rise over blue seas, to seeing sunsets under Grecian skies.
This five hundred square metre villa is built over multi-levels, and from every aspect commands panoramic sea views. The exterior is classic Cycladic whitewashed walls and local stone, whilst the interiors are furnished with uber contemporary handmade pieces, the fixtures are from natural local woods, and the villa is decorated in a sophisticated palette of white, black, and shades of grey. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the villa with natural light and let in cool sea breezes. The property has parking spaces for up to six cars, and an internal elevator to transport you to the main floor. For your comfort and entertainment complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi are included throughout.
Enter the villa at the main level where you will find a light and airy spacious open plan living space. There is a large lounge with floor-to-ceiling sea view windows, lots of comfortable soft seating, and a flat-screen television. The adjacent dining area has a solid wood table with funky grey woollen chairs, ideal for some seriously impressive indoor entertaining. The huge wood and white kitchen with breakfast bar is fully equipped with all the latest appliances to cater for your holiday. There is a discreet adjacent staff kitchen, and if you want to work a small office space too. The master bedroom can be found on this floor, with a large double bed, en suite shower room, sea views, and its own private pool and Jacuzzi. Two further double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms complete the accommodation on the main floor. Take the stairs to the next level, where there are four en suite double bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchenette, and an infinity pool with a Jacuzzi, as well as its own barbeque area. On the top level, there are two autonomous suites, including a second master suite with its own spacious sitting room, and if needed a conference room.
The outdoor space must be seen to be believed. Access the terrace from the main floor, where you will find a rather impressive large Roman step entry infinity swimming pool, with a built-in ten person Jacuzzi, just imagine sitting sipping Champagne as the sun sets over the horizon. The pool surrounding sun loungers are the deepest soft grey cushioned beds you’ve ever seen. There are soft seating areas galore, from dark grey leather sunken lounges with sea views, to light dove grey cushioned days beds under shady pergolas. Dine in the built-in sushi lounge, or at the alfresco table under the twinkling stars. Set up a cinema with the 4k UHD television with Blu-Ray player, or host a party using the SONOS surround sound, serve drinks from the built-in Eye Bar, and food freshly grilled from the barbie. Work off any excess in the fully equipped gym to be found underneath the main level. Sweat it all out in the spa, have some fun in the playroom, and make some noise with the Secret World top level acoustic equipment.
Villa Argaios is located on the southern tip of magical Mykonos, part of the Cyclades islands, in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The exclusive island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is just five kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping the nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports.
The new port of Mykonos is a hub of activity for those landing and departing from island hopping ferries, or super yachts cruising the Aegean, and is a quick twenty five minute drive to the villa. Villa Argaios overlooks the beautiful bay of Kalo Livadi, with its soft sandy beach, it’s a short downhill walk to the sea. The villa is near the resort town of Elia on the south coast, famous for its white sandy beaches, and stylish seafront restaurants. Nearby Agrari Beach is family-friendly, offering a selection of water sports, a playground, and cafes and bars, the south coast beaches have calmer sea waters than those in the north. Near the villa there is a r/tennis court, fitness centre, and fishing opportunities. The coastline is populated by many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby nudist Elia beach, to the family-friendly favourite of Plays Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, and don’t miss a day out at the famous Buddha Bar Beach Club.
During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture. Take a visit to the must-see Mykonos old town, known locally as Chora, and only five kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Then pull up a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo, and watching the beautiful people pass by. Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, known as Kato Mili, where once the wheat was ground to make bread, and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where the original merchant houses overhang the sea, and is now home to cafes, bars, restaurants, and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning and an essential asset of Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea, or charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches. For the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
