Capari

Capari occupies a privileged position above Platis Gialos on the southern coast of Mykonos, just 20 metres from the shoreline and facing uninterrupted views across the Aegean Sea. Set within one of the island’s most established coastal areas, the property combines immediate proximity to the beach with a sense of privacy created by its elevated position and thoughtful integration into the landscape.

Extending across 400 sqm (4,305 sq.ft.) on a 1,100 sqm (11,840 sq.ft.) plot, the residence is arranged as a composition of interconnected volumes and terraces that follow the contours of the site. Whitewashed surfaces, natural stone walls and timber pergolas reflect the Cycladic architectural tradition while maintaining a contemporary simplicity. The design prioritises openness, allowing the sea, sky and changing coastal light to remain a constant presence throughout the property.

The principal living spaces are oriented towards the water, with wide openings creating a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior areas. The architecture encourages natural movement between the house and its surrounding terraces, while covered sections provide shade without interrupting the connection to the sea. Throughout the day, reflected light from the bay moves across the white surfaces, reinforcing the calm atmosphere that defines the residence.

Seven bedrooms are distributed across the property, each designed with a restrained architectural language centred on proportion, natural light and views. Several open directly onto private terraces facing the sea, while others are positioned to capture a greater sense of seclusion within the grounds. The arrangement provides both privacy and continuity, allowing each space to remain connected to the wider setting.

At the heart of the outdoor areas, the pool terrace forms a natural extension of the house. From here, views extend across Platis Gialos Bay towards the rocky coastline beyond, while the property’s orientation captures the long afternoon light characteristic of Mykonos’ southern shore. The surrounding terraces create a series of outdoor spaces that mirror the flow and openness of the interior architecture.

The location places the property within walking distance of Platis Gialos Beach and close to Psarou, Scorpios and the island’s southern coastline, yet once inside the residence the atmosphere remains notably private. Rather than relying on scale or excess, the architecture draws its character from proportion, materiality and its close relationship with the sea.

Capari combines direct beach access, substantial accommodation and a highly walkable coastal setting within one of Mykonos’ most desirable residential enclaves. As evening approaches, the changing light across the bay becomes part of the experience of the house itself, with the sea remaining visible from almost every principal space.
