Elegancia Costera

Positioned directly above the water in the Kanalia area of Mykonos, this substantial waterfront estate faces west across the Aegean towards Delos, with uninterrupted sunset views and direct access to the sea below. Extending across 1,210 sqm (13,024 sqft) of interior space, the property combines the scale of a major private residence with the softer architectural language of traditional Cycladic forms, allowing the house to sit naturally within the coastline rather than dominate it.

From the arrival, the architecture unfolds gradually towards the sea through a sequence of terraces, courtyards and outdoor living spaces shaped around the contours of the rocky shoreline. Whitewashed walls, curved volumes and broad terraces follow the natural topography of the site, while nearly every principal room maintains an open relationship with the water. The central pool terrace is positioned directly above the coastline, oriented towards the horizon and the low silhouette of Delos beyond.

Inside, the principal reception areas are arranged as interconnected spaces beneath painted timber ceilings, with large archways softening the transitions between living, dining and entertaining areas. The interiors remain restrained and characteristically Mykonian in tone, combining white plaster surfaces, pale flooring and warm natural materials with a sense of scale that never feels excessive. Large openings allow the changing sea light to move continuously through the house during the day while preserving privacy and shelter from the wind.

The estate contains nine bedrooms and eleven bathrooms distributed between the main residence and guest accommodation. Several bedrooms open directly onto private terraces facing the water, while others are positioned around quieter internal courtyards protected from the prevailing northern winds. The principal suite occupies one of the most private sections of the estate, combining wide sea views with direct access to secluded exterior sitting areas facing west towards the sunset.

The outdoor spaces are designed for continuous use throughout the day and evening, with shaded dining terraces, open lounging areas and a fully equipped summer kitchen arranged around the pool and along the coastline. Stone terraces descend gradually towards a private deck at the water’s edge, where direct access into the sea is possible from the rocks below. Throughout much of the property, the sound of the water remains present, particularly during the calmer evening hours after the wind settles.

The western orientation transforms the atmosphere of the estate towards sunset, as the final light moves across the terraces and whitewashed surfaces before disappearing behind Delos on the horizon. Even at this scale, the architecture retains a sense of softness and intimacy through its relationship to the sea, the rock formations and the shifting light of the coastline itself.

The property includes staff accommodation, security systems, air conditioning, media and entertainment spaces, private parking and extensive outdoor infrastructure.
