Villa Ixos

Villa Ixos is a luxurious and charming villa in a peaceful location on Mykonos. It has been carefully curated by the owners to celebrate the philosophy of eudaemonia. This Greek word conveys a sense of individual happiness and flourishing, living well in a minimalist style, with an appreciation for the simpler things in life. Creativity, curiosity and new experiences are at the forefront of the owners' ethos.

The villa also draws inspiration from sea salt, because of the way the characteristic white houses of Mykonos gleam in the sunshine from the aeroplane. Stonework exteriors in the traditional style are mixed with the heritage whitewash of the area.

There is a spacious outdoor pool with blissful aquamarine waters known as the 'water lounge' - guests can enjoy a refreshing drink on the main pool steps as they admire the lush scenery. Float in an inflatable ring and enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine. The pool is surrounded by fortification-like stone walls that match the exteriors and fragrant flowering bushes. Outdoor living is provided by way of the poolside pergola where you can relax together on the soft seating. Dine alfresco around the lunch table - there's a barbecue that guests can use.

The hammock area is one of the most enviable spots to unwind around the villa. Swing and catch glimpses of the glittering Aegean Sea through the 'picture' windows framed with stone. The rooftop terrace is the number one place to catch famous Mykonos sunsets. The views of the soaring hillside dotted with white houses and bright blue inlets of the sea are just astounding.

Simplicity is key at this villa, which is why the decoration of each bedroom is consistent across the whole property. Designed to facilitate deep sleep, the bedrooms are soundproofed and have supremely comfortable beds with crisp linen. All rooms are decorated in white with pale wooden accents and chic soft curved furniture.

Pops of colour come from the sunny yellow patterned cushions. Four rooms have queen-sized beds, while the remaining two have a choice of queen or twin beds. Each bedroom has a superior sound system, and many of them have sea views. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow direct access to the pool terrace for the bedrooms on the first floor. Ensuite bathrooms are also bright white - some have Mykonos showers and others have stylish freestanding bathtubs.
