Top Beach Clubs in Mykonos
From the legendary Nammos to the bohemian vibes of Scorpios — your guide to the island's finest beachfront venues.
The beach club is not merely a daytime activity in Mykonos — it is a way of life. From mid-morning until the golden hours of sunset, the island's legendary beachfront venues deliver an experience that blurs the line between relaxation and celebration. Picture yourself on a plush daybed mere steps from the crystal-clear Aegean, sipping a meticulously crafted cocktail while a world-class DJ builds the afternoon's soundtrack. The food rivals Mykonos' best restaurants, the service is impeccable, and the people-watching is unparalleled. Each beach club has its own distinct character, clientele, and energy — choosing the right one can define your entire Mykonos experience. Here is our insider guide to getting it right.
Nammos — The Icon of Psarou Beach
Nammos is not just a beach club — it is a global brand and the venue most synonymous with Mykonos luxury. Situated on the sheltered sands of Psarou Beach, Nammos attracts an international crowd that includes celebrities, billionaires, and discerning travelers who appreciate the finer things. The experience begins the moment your car pulls up to the valet (yes, a beach club with valet parking).
The sunbed setup is the most polished on the island: thick mattresses, premium linens, and attentive service that anticipates your needs. The restaurant serves outstanding Mediterranean-Greek cuisine — the grilled seafood platters are legendary — and the wine list is one of the most extensive on the island. As afternoon arrives, the DJ elevates the energy, and by 4 PM Nammos transforms into an elegant open-air celebration.
Front-row sunbeds at Nammos during July and August require advance reservation and carry a significant minimum spend. Our concierge team secures the best positions and ensures seamless arrival, so you can focus entirely on enjoying one of the world's great beach experiences.
Scorpios — Bohemian Luxury at Paraga
If Nammos is Mykonos' polished diamond, Scorpios is its raw emerald. Located on a rocky peninsula at Paraga, Scorpios cultivates a distinctly bohemian atmosphere inspired by 1970s Mediterranean coastal culture. The design — weathered wood, woven textiles, terracotta pots, and flickering lanterns — creates a space that feels ancient and modern simultaneously.
The music program at Scorpios is arguably the most sophisticated on the island. Rather than peak-time club bangers, the soundtrack leans into deep house, world music, and eclectic downtempo sets that build gradually throughout the afternoon. The sunset ritual, when the entire venue faces west and the music swells as the sun dips below the horizon, is one of Mykonos' most magical experiences.
The food draws from Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean traditions — think wood-fired whole fish, mezze platters, and vibrant salads. Scorpios attracts a creative, fashion-forward crowd that values atmosphere over ostentation. It is the choice for travelers who find Nammos too polished and want something with more edge and soul.
More Beach Clubs Worth Your Time
SantAnna on Paraga Beach has emerged as one of the island's most versatile venues. Part beach club, part restaurant, part nightlife destination, SantAnna transitions seamlessly from afternoon lounging to evening dining to late-night dancing. The production value is exceptional — think theatrical lighting, live performers, and immersive themed events.
Alemagou on Ftelia Beach caters to a more laid-back crowd. Facing north, it catches the meltemi wind, making it a favorite among kitesurfers and windsurfers. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with excellent cocktails and a soundtrack that stays mellow. It is Mykonos' best-kept secret for those who want a beach day without the scene.
Principote on Panormos Beach offers a refined, family-friendly alternative to the party-oriented venues. The food is exceptional — some call it the best beach restaurant on the island — and the atmosphere balances sophistication with genuine warmth. The sheltered bay provides calm, shallow waters, making it a favorite for families with young children.
Beach Club Reservations and Etiquette
Peak-season reservations at Nammos, Scorpios, and SantAnna should be made at least one to two weeks in advance. Front-row positions at Nammos during August can require booking a month ahead. Minimum spend requirements vary by venue and position — expect €200-500 per sunbed at premium venues, which is applied toward food and drinks.
Dress code at Mykonos beach clubs is upscale casual. Think designer swimwear, linen cover-ups, and quality sandals. Most venues welcome guests from around 11 AM, with the energy building through the afternoon and peaking between 3 PM and 6 PM. Sunset is the golden moment at most venues.
Our concierge service handles all beach club logistics: securing the best sunbed positions, pre-ordering champagne and lunch, arranging boat arrivals (several clubs have their own docks), and coordinating seamless transfers between venues for those who want to experience multiple clubs in a single day.
