Villa White

Think of a villa and double it when you stay in the simply stunning Villa White, on the southwest coast of Mykonos, the jewel of the Greek Cyclades islands, in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This must be seen to be believed, the uber luxury villa boasts ten ensuite double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to twenty guests in some style. Sitting on a promontory overlooking Mykonos old town, the villa is blessed with sweeping panoramic views over the azure blue Aegean Sea. A vacation in Villa White would be ideal for a large family gathering, or a friends get-together.

This one thousand three hundred and thirty-five square metre villa is built over two storeys, out of traditional local stone, that is cleverly combined with classic Mediterranean white-washed walls. The villa has an east and west wing, each with five ensuite bedrooms, an independent living space, and its own private heated swimming pools, and terraces with outside bars. Villa White is set on its own private grounds and comes with plenty of parking spaces, tiered terracing, a cinema, a gym, and a Jacuzzi. For your peace of mind, the villa has overnight security, and for the ultimate in luxury, there is a retinue of a dedicated team of staff to look after your every need. Complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi is included throughout. The minimalist interiors have been inspired by traditional Greek island life, furnished with only the very best quality natural materials, including anti-slip flooring, contemporary art adorns the walls, and the décor is a subtle palette of sophisticated shades of grey, and crisp, cool whites.

Enter the property at Villa East, where you will find a light and airy holiday home of open-plan living, with floor-to-ceiling windows that reward the guests with uninterrupted sea views. The seating area has plush cream sofas and matching chairs, wood coffee tables, a flat-screen smart television, and an open fireplace for the cooler months and evenings. There is an adjacent elegant dining set that is perfect for some impressive indoor entertaining. For the younger guests, there is a dedicated children’s play area, that is packed full of toys and games. The state of the art fitted kitchen has everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including an American style family size fridge freezer, built-in oven, dishwasher, a preparation island with a built-in hob and bar stools, and that must-have morning coffee maker.

There is the first of five beautifully-appointed double bedrooms, with a queen size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a pool and sea view. A guest cloakroom and storage room complete the ground floor. Take the stairs to the first floor where you will find four ensuite double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a walk-in dressing room, an ensuite bedroom, and a furnished sea-view balcony. Two of the other bedrooms have sea view balconies, whilst the other has a vista of the manicured gardens. Villa West has a similar layout, the ground-floor ensuite double bedroom has its own independent entrance, there are two staff rooms, and all four first-floor bedrooms enjoy stunning sea-view balconies.

The outdoor space at Villa White takes alfresco living to the next level. There are two Roman step entry heated swimming pools, two bars, a cinema, a gym, and a Jacuzzi, all arranged over sea view tiered terraces. Start the day with a workout in the fully equipped gym, then massage those tired muscles in the Jacuzzi. Sunbathe on the white deep cushioned sun loungers, strategically positioned around the pool. Flick through the latest Tatler on the wicker double day bed, whilst fat white bean bag cushions are perfectly positioned for maximum flopping.

Enjoy morning coffee and sundowners at sun set under the veranda-covered soft seating spots. Meet at the bar for a specially created cocktail by the in-house mixologist. Eat alfresco at the family-size outside dining sets, and enjoy Greek delicacies freshly grilled from the barbeques. At the end of a busy day sunbathing or sightseeing, come together to watch your favourite films at the tiered seating cinema. Then raise a glass of local wine and toast the most memorable holiday.
