Perched above Psarou Bay, the retreat blends Scandinavian minimalism and Cycladic architecture, framing panoramic vistas of the Aegean’s sunlit horizons.

Situated on the sunlit hills of Psarou BayThe Skyvilla Mykonos has officially opened as a retreat blending modern sophistication with Aegean tranquillity. Designed by Block722 Architects, the property harmonizes Scandinavian-inspired minimalism with Cycladic architecture to create a serene yet luxurious environment.

Architectural Vision: A Dialogue with Nature

Renowned for their ability to merge contemporary design with organic sensibilities, Block722 Architects has crafted The Skyvilla Mykonos as a study in balance. The studio’s signature approach—rooted in clean lines, locally sourced materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions—prioritizes harmony with the landscape. Expansive glass façades dissolve boundaries between interiors and the Aegean horizon, while polished marble, weathered wood, and raw stone textures reflect a commitment to authenticity. This design ethos amplifies the villa’s connection to its environment, ensuring spaces feel both timeless and intimately tied to Mykonos’ rugged beauty.

A Synthesis of Contemporary Design and Natural Beauty

The Skyvilla Mykonos features five ensuite bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea. Natural materials complement minimalist furnishings, emphasizing understated elegance. Expansive indoor-outdoor living areas and a panoramic terrace encourage relaxation, while the villa’s design prioritizes integration with its coastal surroundings.

A Setting Rooted in Cycladic Tradition

The Skyvilla Mykonos is nestled within Mykonos’ iconic landscape, where stark white architecture contrasts with the azure Aegean Sea—a hallmark of Cycladic design. The villa’s hillside perch provides sweeping vistas of Psarou Bay, while its proximity to Psarou Beach and Mykonos Town ensures guests can effortlessly immerse themselves in the island’s dual rhythms: the serene allure of its coastline and the vibrant pulse of its storied villages. Nearby UNESCO-listed Delos Island, a cradle of ancient Greek mythology, adds layers of cultural depth to the experience, inviting exploration of archaeological wonders just a short journey away.

“The Skyvilla Mykonos represents a careful balance of Scandinavian design principles and the timeless beauty of Mykonos,” said Elias Wren, the property’s owner. “We aimed to create a space where guests can unwind in privacy while experiencing the island’s dynamic culture and natural splendor.”

Wabi-Sabi Philosophy: Honoring Impermanence and Authenticity

The villa’s design subtly embraces Wabi-sabi, the Japanese ethos that finds beauty in simplicity, imperfection, and the passage of time. This philosophy manifests in the deliberate use of raw, unrefined materials—weathered wood grain, natural stone variations, and marble with organic veining—that celebrate the inherent uniqueness of each element. Sunlight filters through linen drapes, casting shifting patterns on tactile surfaces, while the villa’s open-air spaces invite the elements to leave their mark. Here, luxury is reimagined as an appreciation for the transient: the way materials age, the play of light across textures, and the quiet dialogue between human craftsmanship and nature’s artistry.
