How to Burn +$10K in 3 Days – Mykonos Edition

So, you’re going to Mykonos. Good choice. Maybe you’re celebrating something, maybe you just got a bonus and feel like making questionable financial decisions, or maybe you enjoy the thrill of extravagant spending. Whatever the case, this guide will ensure you experience Mykonos at its most luxurious.

This is not a trip for bargain hunters. Mykonos operates on a simple principle: if you have to ask how much something costs, it’s probably too late. Here’s how to make the most of three days filled with private yachts, beach clubs, and enough indulgence to make even seasoned luxury travelers raise an eyebrow.

Day 1: Arrive in Style

Morning: Upon landing, a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce or Mercedes-Maybach will be waiting to whisk you away. This isn’t just about comfort—it’s about setting the tone for the next 72 hours. 💸 

Your accommodations can be equally excessive. Options include Cavo Tagoo Mykonos, famous for its infinity pool suites, or a private villa with panoramic sea views and a dedicated staff to cater to your every need. Either way, expect champagne on arrival, an unnecessary amount of space, and a view you’ll struggle to fully appreciate through the excitement of being there.

Afternoon: First stop, Nammos Beach Club, where the sunbeds are plush, the seafood is flown in fresh, and the rosé is chilled to perfection. A long, leisurely lunch here sets the perfect pace—Mykonos isn’t about rushing but reveling. Afterward, head to Ginkgo Spa at Santa Marina Resort for a deep-tissue massage to shake off any lingering travel stress.

Evening: The only way to do a Mykonos sunset properly is from a private yacht. A fully crewed vessel will take you along the coast, where you can sip champagne and take in the iconic Cycladic architecture glowing in the golden hourlight.

Dinner should be at Zuma Mykonos, where Japanese flavors meet the Greek island ambiance. After that, nightlife calls—Alemagou Beach Club offers an unbeatable combination of music, cocktails, and the kind of energy that will convince you to stay out until dawn.

Day 2: Exploration & Extravagance

Morning: Start with a private helicopter tour over Mykonos, Delos, and the smaller surrounding islands. It’s the best way to appreciate the Aegean landscape fully—plus, there’s something undeniably satisfying about arriving somewhere by helicopter.

After landing, a luxury beach picnic awaits at a secluded cove. A concierge team will have set up a table filled with fresh seafood, Greek mezze, and chilled drinks, ensuring an exclusive, picture-perfect experience.

Afternoon: It's time for some retail therapy. Mykonos Town (Chora) is home to international luxury brands and high-end Greek designers, offering everything from custom jewelry to handcrafted resort wear. Whether you’re picking up a bespoke kaftan or an iconic designer bag, shopping here is an experience.

Evening: Start the night with drinks at 180° Sunset Bar, where the panoramic views of Mykonos are just as intoxicating as the cocktails. From there, it’s off to Kiki’s Tavern, a hidden gem known for its perfectly grilled meats and rustic charm.

And now, the highlight of your evening: Scorpios Mykonos – truly a landmark of its own! Make sure to snag a VIP table because this vibrant spot is where international DJs, glamorous jet-setters, and Mykonos enthusiasts come together for an unforgettable night that might carry on until dawn!

Day 3: Recovery, Relaxation & One Last Indulgence

Morning: A private sunrise yoga or Pilates session will help reset your body after two days of indulgence. Follow it with a relaxed brunch at Bill & Coo Mykonos, where everything from freshly baked pastries to perfectly poached eggs is served with impeccable style.

Afternoon: There’s time for one last beach club experience, and SantAnna Mykonos is the perfect place for it. With a VIP cabana, a sushi platter, and a final round of rosé, you’ll be closing out your trip in the most Mykonos way possible—under the sun, surrounded by luxury, and pretending you’re not already thinking about your next visit.

Evening: Instead of a standard airport transfer, a helicopter ride back to Athens makes for a more fitting farewell. Then, it’s time to board your first-class flight or private jet home, wondering whether you should feel exhilarated, exhausted, or both. 🤣 

The Mykonos Formula for Luxury

This trip wasn’t about moderation. It was about experiencing Mykonos the way it was meant to be experienced: with indulgence at every turn, VIP treatment as the default, and no hesitation when it comes to enjoying the best of the island.

Until next time, Mykonos.

Happy Travels! 🗺️
