The Avaton pool terrace, seemingly suspended in thin air, is one of the island’s finest lookouts onto the Aegean, its famous infinity pool merging almost seamlessly on the horizon line with the vast Aegean below. No wonder then, that guests are tempted to laze and lounge here all day on soft sunbeds in the shade of red parasols, ordering light snacks or ice-cold cocktails from the Kokkino bar while listening to the live DJ set. Complimentary poolside treats include fresh ice-teas served throughout the day, as well as spa product testing.

Our private spot on Elia Beach

Should you wish to curl your toes into fine sand or be buoyed up by crystal clear salt water, then head down to your private lounger reserved exclusively for guests of the Myconian Collection. With parasols standing to attention, a running supply of fresh beach towels, and a bar for beverages, smoothies and light snacks, the island’s longest beach is pure paradise.

Elia is an idyllic destination in its own right, and occasional host to some of the island’s biggest celebrations, with a choice of superb restaurants as well as a variety of watersports. Experienced instructors can introduce you to an impressive complement that includes kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing, parasailing, wakeboarding, as well as scuba diving. Professional PADI instructors are available to guide divers on underwater journeys.

A dedicated complimentary beach shuttle is at your disposal to run you down from the top of the hill.
