Mykonos beach parties in 2016
Nammos Restaurant by the Sea
Mykonos, with its cosmopolitan character, exciting nightlife and countless entertainment opportunities, “lives” a life of its own. We always have our radars on the latest trends, openings and new happenings on our island. When it comes to finding the best beach parties in Greece and in Europe, all you have to do is get your swimwear ready and choose which beach to go to.
In April 2016 Guapaloca Mykonos will resume its fun yet surreal body paint parties. The island’s famous Paradise Beach Club will also open in early spring. The 2015 season’s strong newcomer, Scorpios Mykonos in Paraga beach will make an even more impressive comeback in May 2016. Jackie O’ Beach, a small “universe” of its own, featuring a restaurant, large open bar, pool, jacuzzi and private lounge area, as well as its own church, is located in Super Paradise Bay. For many years it has been a much loved summer destination, and it is ready for new love affairs in 2016. Finally, Nammos Restaurant by the Sea is the top place to be seen, the “playground” for Greek and international celebrities.
Gourmet creations and high-end nightlife
Nobu Restaurant
Mykonos is a home to some of the best international restaurants and bars, all gathered in one destination. The world’s first Buddha Bar Beach opened in Mykonos in the summer of 2015, which quickly became one of the top hotspots to visit.

Around and about Mykonos
There is more to Mykonos than partying all night. Those who appreciate history can take a cultural break and visit the nearby island of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the mythological birthplace of god Apollo. Another great reason to visit Mykonos, is the opportunity to see it all from the sky. Private helicopter tours to Delos and around the island offer magnificent views of the landscape and sea.
If you love great shopping, there is plenty of that on the island too. The quaint streets of Mykonos Town are lined with high-end luxury boutiques, art galleries and jewelry stores. For the more adventurous, try a fun packed day of sea kayaking or ride off on a bicycle tour to explore the unknown trails of the island. Last but not least, if you are planning to visit the island in May, it is a great opportunity to enjoy our very own “Journey to Awareness Yoga and Healing Retreat at Villa Hurmuses.”
