Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos

A glamorous Ornos resort with a rare private beach, hillside rooms and villas, and the balance of seclusion by day and Mykonos Town after dark.

Our take

Mykonos with a private sandy beach

Santa Marina occupies its own peninsula above Ornos Bay, giving the resort something uncommon on Mykonos: a sheltered private sandy beach that does not require securing a separate club reservation. White buildings climb the hillside, and views extend across moored boats and the southern coast.

Rooms and suites work for shorter stays, while villas add kitchens, pools and privacy for families or groups. Buddha-Bar Beach brings energy to the waterfront; other terraces and the spa offer a quieter counterpoint. Ornos is close and Mykonos Town is a straightforward drive, though summer traffic should be factored into dinner plans. Santa Marina best suits travellers who want a complete beach resort without surrendering access to the island’s social life.

Keep the good energy, then add sacred Delos, northern wind, working farms and an inland village to understand what the island is beyond its nightlife.
