Villa Olvia

The villa

Carved into the rugged Mykonian hillside with nothing but sky and sea stretching ahead, Villa Olvia invites you into a world of polished design and panoramic calm. From the moment you step through the stone-framed entrance, there’s a sense of space and flow, where each room is carefully curated to balance comfort and contemporary elegance.

The interiors are striking in their simplicity. A palette of soft neutrals is paired with natural textures, from sculpted wood headboards to smooth concrete floors. The living room opens entirely to the view, with an inviting modular sofa positioned to soak in the shifting colours of the Aegean. Just behind, the sleek kitchen is equipped for effortless cooking and entertaining, while the dining area faces out across the pool and beyond to the distant coast. Each of the six spacious bedrooms offers both privacy and a touch of indulgence, with king-sized beds, clean-lined en-suite bathrooms, and thoughtful details like luxurious toiletries and crisp linens.

Outside, the landscape feels elemental, with pale stone underfoot and vast views in every direction. The infinity pool gleams in the midday sun, dotted with submerged loungers where you can drift between sky and water. A shaded terrace with a long dining table sets the scene for leisurely breakfasts or candlelit dinners, with the soft hum of cicadas as your evening soundtrack.

The villa sits in a peaceful spot above Ftelia Beach, just minutes from the sand yet tucked away from the island’s busier corners. Mykonos Town is a short drive away for stylish evenings out, though many guests find they rarely want to leave the serenity of the hillside.

Villa Olvia is a home designed to slow time, where each space draws you into the rhythm of the island, unhurried, sun-drenched, and effortlessly refined.

Tucked above the northern coast of Mykonos, Villa Olvia is perfectly placed for those seeking both calm and connection. Just four minutes from the bohemian sweep of Ftelia Beach, this area has long been a favourite for in-the-know travellers drawn to its crystal waters, wild landscapes and more laid-back atmosphere. Ftelia is especially popular with windsurfers and nature lovers, while its stylish beach clubs and restaurants offer everything from toes-in-the-sand lunches to elegant sunset cocktails.

The villa’s location also puts you within easy reach of Mykonos Town, only 16 minutes by car. Here, the maze-like alleys of Chora reveal hidden boutiques, art galleries, and whitewashed churches, all spilling out towards the harbour. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon wander or a lively dinner beneath the bougainvillea-draped terraces. Whether you're dining at one of the island's acclaimed restaurants or simply people-watching with an aperitif, the town has a vibrant energy that contrasts beautifully with the villa’s calm.

Practical amenities are close at hand too. The airport is just 6.5 km away, and the port is equally accessible, making arrivals and departures smooth and stress-free. Along the route, you’ll find local markets and small shops where you can pick up everything from fresh produce to handcrafted souvenirs.

Mykonos itself is steeped in history. The nearby ruins of Delos, once a sacred island of the ancient Greeks, make for a fascinating day trip by boat. Or stay closer to home and explore the white sand coves along the coast, many of which are still untouched by mass tourism.

Villa Olvia offers that ideal combination of seclusion and convenience. Here, you’re just far enough from the buzz to relax completely, yet close enough to dive in whenever the mood strikes.
