Heading to Greece’s most iconic party island? Here’s where to find the best beach clubs in Mykonos- sun, style, and serious vibes included.
When it comes to summer on Mykonos, the line between beach and party blurs- and anyone who’s been here knows exactly what we mean. The island’s legendary coastline isn’t just for laying out a towel; it’s for soaking up the scene. Think barefoot luxury, flowing rosé, and cool soundtracks spun by world-renowned DJs.
From all-day hangouts with elevated restaurant fare to see-and-be-seen spots where the tables are as coveted as the cabanas, these are the beach clubs that define the Mykonos state of mind.
Scorpios | Paraga Beach
Set on a sun-drenched peninsula overlooking the Aegean, Scorpios blends barefoot luxury with artistic energy. Part beach club, part cultural hub, this Mykonos mainstay (now part of the Soho House family) offers a laid-back yet elevated all-day experience. Think wood-decked terraces, handwoven textiles, and globally-inspired dishes-from Greek mezze to Peruvian-inflected seafood-designed for sharing around long communal tables. By day, it’s all slow beats and shady lounging. But come sunset, the vibe shifts: live DJ sets take over, the tempo rises, and the crowd slips seamlessly from beach to barefoot dancefloor. It’s boho, but polished-Mykonos at its soulful, sun-drenched best.
Nammos | Psarou Beach
Nammos is the ultimate playground for the glam set on Mykonos, where bronzed bodies, designer shades, and Champagne buckets are all part of the daily scene. Set on the golden shores of Psarou Beach- a magnet for the international jet-set- this iconic beach club brings indulgence to another level, with elevated service, fresh seafood, top-shelf cocktails, and a serious party atmosphere. It’s glitzy without apology, where the music pulses, the shisha flows, and people-watchers are in their element. Just a heads-up: reservations are essential, and so is a well-funded credit card.
Alemagou | Ftelia Beach
If you’re after laid-back luxury with a bohemian twist, head to Alemagou on the windswept shores of Ftelia. This off-the-radar gem blends Cycladic charm with minimalist cool- think gourd-shell lighting, rustic pergolas, and a natural palette that melts into the golden sand. Days here drift from languid beach hangs to sundowners at the cliffside lounge, where perfectly curated sets and cocktails mark the island’s most magical hour. Less about the scene and more about the sensation, Alemagou feels like a memory in the making- one you’ll want to revisit long after your tan fades.
JackieO’ Beach Club | Super Paradise Beach
More than just a beach club, JackieO’ is a mood. Perched on the golden sands of Super Paradise, this iconic spot is as fabulous and free-spirited as its namesake, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who helped put Mykonos on the map. The vibe? Playful, inclusive, and unapologetically bold. Think daily drag shows, Champagne cocktails by the pool, and 21 signature drinks designed to keep things sparkling well past sunset. With a restaurant, Jacuzzi, and a lively crowd that knows how to have fun.
Kalua | Paraga Beach
Tucked into the crystal-clear bay of Paraga, Kalua captures that quintessential Mykonos energy- go hard day and night. A seamless blend of laid-back beach vibes and elevated party atmosphere, this long-time favourite serves up Mediterranean fusion dishes alongside a standout Japanese menu, all best enjoyed with something crisp from their impressive wine list. Whether you’re stretched out on a front-row cabana or posted up in a VIP bungalow with your crew, it’s the kind of place where long lunches slip into golden-hour dancing. The daily DJ sets and live performances crank up as the sun goes down, with the whole team joining in the party, making Kalua feel more like a private celebration than a typical beach club.
Principote | Panormos Beach
Set on the golden sands of Panormos, Principote brings a polished elegance to Mykonos’ north coast. With its signature handwoven parasols, crisp white daybeds, and seamless beachside service, it’s the kind of place where lunch easily stretches into sunset. The vibe is luxe but laid-back- think Mediterranean sharing plates, expertly mixed cocktails, and even in-house massages, all set to a smooth soundtrack that builds as the day unfolds. For those who like their beach days with a side of retail therapy, the on-site boutique, Agora, stocks curated resortwear and designer finds.
Liasti | Lia Beach
For those craving a more serene side of Mykonos, Liasti on Lia Beach is the antidote to the island’s high-energy scene. Tucked into one of Mykonos’ most unspoiled bays, this barefoot-luxe beach club brings together understated elegance, exceptional service, and a relaxed rhythm that matches the turquoise waves lapping nearby. Days here are best spent on plush loungers under straw parasols, pausing only for a club sandwich, or something cold from the impressively stocked bar.
Spilia Sea Side | Kalafati
Tucked inside a salt-kissed cave on the rocks of Kalafati, Spilia is one of Mykonos’ most atmospheric seaside spots. Once a humble taverna, it’s been reimagined as a refined beach club-meets-seafood sanctuary. A natural ocean pool acts as the heart of the space, where sea urchins, lobster, and oysters are prepped before your eyes, adding a theatrical touch to the fresh, fine-dining experience. While Spilia is open all day, it truly shines at sunset, when the sea glows and the vibe turns. Arrive by boat for the full Mykonos fantasy- or cross the wooden bridge if you must. Either way, the Dom flows freely, and the mood is pure Mykonian!
