Villa Ares

Above the Shores of Choulakia

Set into the hillside of Choulakia, Villa Ares embraces one of Mykonos’ most compelling perspectives — an uninterrupted sweep across the Aegean and the daily spectacle of the island’s celebrated sunsets. Quietly removed from the movement of Mykonos Town while remaining within easy reach of the port and airport, the villa occupies a position that feels both connected and secluded. Here, the rhythm of island life unfolds at a gentler pace, framed by sea, sky, and the distinctive clarity of Cycladic light.

Architecture and landscape exist in close dialogue throughout the property. Crisp white volumes soften into natural textures and earthy accents, allowing the villa to feel rooted in its surroundings rather than imposed upon them. The result is contemporary yet unmistakably Mediterranean — refined without excess and designed to direct attention outward, toward the changing colours of the horizon.

Interiors Framed by Light and Sea

Inside, the atmosphere is calm, bright, and intentionally understated. The main living and dining areas are arranged in an open-plan layout that encourages easy movement and shared moments while maintaining a sense of spaciousness. Large openings invite daylight to travel through the interiors and blur the distinction between indoor comfort and outdoor living.

Adjacent to the central spaces, a more intimate TV lounge introduces a quieter setting for reading, working remotely, or simply stepping away from the social rhythm of the house. Its dedicated workspace and private balcony create a thoughtful retreat within the villa itself.

The kitchen balances functionality with understated elegance, offering a welcoming setting for everything from relaxed breakfasts to long evening dinners that extend naturally into the terrace and surrounding views.

Outdoor Living Designed Around the Horizon

Positioned toward the sea, the infinity pool appears to merge with the distant blue of the Aegean, becoming both a focal point and a place of quiet pause throughout the day.

Multiple lounge areas tucked beneath shaded pergolas provide space to gather or retreat depending on the mood of the moment. Nearby, the outdoor dining space and traditional stone-built barbecue invite unhurried meals that stretch from warm afternoons into softly lit evenings. Whether beginning the day with a swim or ending it beneath the fading colours of sunset, the setting feels naturally attuned to life outdoors.

Seven Bedrooms Across Three Levels

Villa Ares accommodates up to fourteen guests across three thoughtfully arranged levels, offering privacy without compromising the feeling of togetherness.

Seven serene bedrooms each feature an en-suite bathroom, while five also benefit from private balconies or terraces that extend the living experience outward. The master suite occupies a privileged position with its own dressing room and balcony overlooking the sea, creating a peaceful space apart. Two additional en-suite bedrooms on the upper level continue the elevated outlook and sense of seclusion.

At pool level, two independent guest suites enjoy direct outdoor access, allowing guests to move effortlessly between private interiors and shared exterior spaces. The lower level introduces an additional layer of comfort with a fitness room, another guest bedroom with private entrance, and discreet staff accommodation that supports longer stays with ease.

Completing the estate is a detached guesthouse featuring an additional bedroom and bathroom — an ideal arrangement for visiting friends, extended family, or guests who appreciate complete autonomy while remaining connected to the life of the villa.

A Place Shaped by Calm and Perspective

Villa Ares captures a quieter side of Mykonos — one defined not by constant movement but by atmosphere, light, and uninterrupted views. In Choulakia, where the island feels more elemental and open, the experience becomes less about schedules and more about moments, morning stillness beside the pool, afternoons beneath the sun, and evenings suspended between sea and sky as the sunset slowly takes over the horizon.
