A complete holiday destination, Santa Marina puts everything at your fingertips. From our world-class Ginkgo Spa to our private beach and glamorous swimming pools, this is the epitome of the chic Mykonos lifestyle.

Private Sandy Beach

Santa Marina offers the best beach experience of any resort in Mykonos. It is the only resort with its own private sandy beach, providing an unrivalled sanctuary where you can swim and sunbathe in blissful seclusion at the edge of the blue Aegean. Nestled in a quiet cove – offering protection from the famed Mykonos winds – this curve of golden sand slopes gradually into crystal-clear, shallow waters.

To ensure the ultimate in beachfront luxury, they provide all guests with complimentary cabanas set along our private wooden jetty, as well as sun beds, umbrellas and beach towels. This is the only private resort beach of its size, offering attentive service, chic dining and panoramic sea views. Relax in the shade, a cool drink in hand, and gaze at the mega yachts as they cruise along the coastline.

More than a beach, Santa Marina is like an exclusive club – a meeting place filled with fascinating individuals from around the globe. Santa Marina offers a truly privileged lifestyle, and our resort guests love having the best Mykonos beach experience at their doorstep.

Swimming Pools

Bask in the sun or relax in stylish shade at our two infinity-edge pools, which seem to blend with the blue waters of the Aegean. Both pools feature full food and beverage service from our adjoining restaurants. We also offer private pools in many of our suites and all of our villas.
