About this property
You’ll be wowed by the minimalist design, and maximum impact of Villa Zambra, when you vacation on the south coast of the exclusive island of Mykonos, the jewel of the Aegean Sea. This breathtakingly beautiful villa has six spacious ensuite bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, ideal for a large family holiday, or a friend's get-together. The three hundred and sixty square metres of Villa Zambra commands panoramic sea views, and the nearest sandy beach is but a short walk away.
The property is built on a huge seven thousand nine hundred square metre plot, which includes a sizeable sea view terrace, a wrap-around private infinity swimming pool, and your very own full-sized tennis court. Villa Zambra is built over one storey, out of classic Cycladic whitewashed walls, and traditional local stone, with a main residence and an independent guest house. This architect-designed villa comes with private parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, and a media room for your entertainment. The modern interiors are a decorator’s delight, with contemporary furnishings, combined with a tranquil colour palette of crisp clean white, and calming cool greys.
If you are super swish, arrive by helicopter to your superbly stylish holiday home, where you will find an exquisitely-appointed, light and airy open-plan living space. The seating area has floor-to-ceiling windows which open straight onto the sweeping sea-view terrace. The seating area is dressed with two white comfy sofas, and wood framed, deep-cushioned armchairs, a scattering of coffee tables, and a flat-screen television. Gather round and pull down the cinema screen to watch your favourite movies. There is a ten seater smart dining set for some seriously impressive indoor entertaining. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped with all the professional equipment you will need to cater for your holiday. Or better still ask the concierge team to arrange your own private chef for you. The six beautiful bedrooms are arranged along the front of the property and in the guest house. All the beautiful white and grey bedrooms are super spacious, with double beds, flat-screen televisions, ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and direct access to the pool terrace. A handy guest cloakroom completes the accommodation.
The exterior is another living space in itself. The sea view tiled terrace has a step entry, and an infinity swimming pool, which wraps itself around the villa so that you can access it from the living space and bedrooms. The pool is surrounded by grey cushioned, wood and woven sun lounger, strategically positioned to maximise those magnificent vistas. Enjoy a game of doubles on the full-sized tennis court, then cool off under the poolside shower. As dusk falls, meet at sunset on the terrace for cocktails, then feast alfresco at the pergola-covered dining set, with local delicacies prepared in the outside kitchen, as you raise a glass or two to the most memorable holiday in magical Mykonos.
Villa Zambra can be found by Kalafatis beach, on the southern tip of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades islands in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The uber-fashionable island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long, by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is fifteen kilometres from Mykonos Airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping, then nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. The new port of Mykonos is a hub of activity for those landing and departing from island hopping ferries, or super yachts cruising the Aegean, and is a quick twenty-minute drive to the villa. Villa Zambra has a dedicated concierge team, where your wish is their command.
The villa is near the resort town of Elia on the south coast, famous for its white sandy beaches, and stylish seafront restaurants. Agia Anna, Kalo Livadi, and Agrari Beach are all a short drive away and offer a selection of water sports, a playground, and cafes and bars, the south coast beaches have calmer sea waters than those in the north. Near the villa, there is a tennis court, fitness centre, and fishing opportunities. The coastline is populated by many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby Ftelia and Lia, and the nudist Elia beach, to the family-friendly favourite of Plays Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Super Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs. During daylight hours seek solace in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture.
Take a visit to Mykonos old town, known locally as Chora, and only a ten-minute drive from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Choose a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo and watching the beautiful people walk by. Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, known as Kato Mili, where once the wheat was ground to make bread, and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where original merchant houses overhang the sea, and is now home to fashionable cafes, bars, restaurants, and galleries, best enjoyed as the sun sets with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning, and an essential asset to Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea, or charter your own yacht with a captain, and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches. For the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a unesco World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
