Elia - Best Beaches in Mykonos
Located on the southeastern coast, Elia Beach is the island’s largest sandy sanctuary, offering an expansive stretch of golden coastline and deep azure waters. This broad bay is the premier destination for travelers seeking a harmonious balance between luxurious amenities, vibrant social energy, and peaceful, undisturbed relaxation.

Elia Beach provides a sophisticated and inclusive coastal experience, serving as a spacious refuge far from the compact, high-pressure beach clubs of the central south. In 2026, the venue remains a standout for its pristine natural beauty and its "live and let live" philosophy, attracting a diverse international crowd that includes families, jet-setters, and the global LGBTQ+ community. The shoreline is expertly managed by high-end resorts like the Elia Mykonos Resort and the Myconian Collection, offering plush, widely spaced sunbeds and attentive service. While the main section pulses with the low-tempo house beats of the Elia Beach Bar, the western end of the bay offers quieter, "clothing-optional" coves for those seeking total privacy. For the adventurous, a professional water sports center offers everything from jet-skiing to parasailing, taking advantage of the beach's deep, clear waters. Whether you are arriving via a scenic water taxi from Platis Gialos or enjoying a long, Mediterranean lunch at a beachfront restaurant, Elia delivers a polished and soulful island journey that captures the true scale and serenity of Mykonos.
