Summer offers the complete Mykonos experience with warm seas perfect for the infinity pool, reliable sunshine for the outdoor cinema, and full island facilities including restaurants, beach clubs, and cultural attractions.

Summer (June to August) offers the classic Mykonos experience with warm seas, reliable sunshine, and the island's full social calendar in operation. However, late spring (May) and early autumn (September to October) provide excellent value with pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and more availability at restaurants and beaches.

Why we chose it

The subterranean design carved directly into the Cycladic rock face creates something genuinely rare in Mykonos luxury rentals. Unlike most villas that sit on the landscape, Between Stone & Sea emerges from it, with each room naturally positioned to capture uninterrupted Aegean views without the usual stacking or compromise. The Architectural Digest feature confirms what the images reveal: this is architecture with intention, not just luxury accommodation. Most importantly, the Tourlos location strikes the perfect balance for discerning guests. You gain the tranquillity and authentic taverna culture that the busier parts of Mykonos have lost to tourism, yet Mykonos Town remains accessible in ten minutes when you want the island's legendary nightlife and shopping. Few properties at this level offer both genuine architectural distinction and such thoughtful positioning between serenity and access.

01The Architecture

Between Stone & Sea takes its name literally, carved directly into the rugged Cycladic terrain in a subterranean design that works with the natural rock formations rather than against them.

02The Interior

The interior design embraces the villa's unique relationship with both stone and sea, using the carved rock walls as natural architectural features rather than concealing them. Contemporary furnishings in neutral tones allow the dramatic views and textural stonework to anchor each space, creating rooms that feel both sophisticated and authentically connected to their Cycladic setting. The main living areas flow…

03The Outdoor

The infinity pool appears to merge directly with the Aegean Sea horizon, positioned to maximise the dramatic views whilst maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. Terraced outdoor spaces step down the hillside, creating multiple zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining that take advantage of different sun positions throughout the day. The outdoor cinema setup transforms evening entertainment, with the sea providing…

04The Location

Tourlos occupies the northern coast of Mykonos, offering a more serene alternative to the island's busier southern beaches whilst maintaining excellent connectivity to the main attractions.

Local taverns serve authentic Greek cuisine…

The villa works particularly well for multi-generational groups, with bedrooms spread across different levels and a guest house providing additional separation.
