Nereus, a Mykonos villa built around the sea

Nereus overlooks the sea above Kalo Livadi in Mykonos, with an infinity pool, expansive outdoor spaces and a secluded beach just a short walk away

In Mykonos, Nereus combines 1,200 m² of living space, a panoramic pool, spa and accommodation for up to 36 guests overlooking the Aegean

Nereus looks out across the Aegean from above, yet the sea remains close enough to become part of everyday life. The villa sits above Kalo Livadi in Mykonos, within walking distance of the coast and a small secluded beach, in a location that combines the privacy of a private residence with almost immediate access to the water.

This proximity perhaps defines Nereus better than anything else. It is not simply about having a sea view, but maintaining a continuous relationship with the Aegean: from the terraces to the infinity pool and from the sea-facing bedrooms to outdoor spaces designed for much of the day to be spent outside.

Mykonos, away from its louder side

Mykonos is often described through its beach clubs, restaurants and nightlife. Kalo Livadi offers another side of the island, one of broad bays opening onto the blue Cyclades and days that do not necessarily have to revolve around Mykonos Town.

Nereus lies around 100 metres from Kalo Livadi beach, while Mykonos Town is approximately 10 kilometres away. The international airport is about 11 kilometres from the property and the yacht marina 10 kilometres away.

These distances keep the villa connected to the island’s best-known destinations while allowing it to retain a distinctly private atmosphere.

A home that extends outdoors

The estate provides approximately 1,200 square metres of living space on 4,000 square metres of land, yet much of its character is defined by what happens outside.

Greece Sotheby’s International Realty lists around 700 square metres of shaded outdoor space. This includes a large dining area seating up to 42 people, a fully equipped outdoor barbecue kitchen and a pool bar.

It changes the way the house can be experienced during summer. The interiors remain important, but breakfast, lunch, conversations and evenings can naturally move outside as the light and temperature change.

An infinity pool above the Aegean

At the centre of the outdoor areas is an infinity pool of approximately 100 square metres, looking directly across the sea.

It is more than a visual feature. A considerable part of communal life can unfold around the pool, with shaded areas and a pool bar making the exterior comfortable even during the warmer hours of the day.

It is one of those settings where the distinction between the residence and the destination begins to blur. The Cycladic landscape is not simply a backdrop; it accompanies life throughout the day.

Stone, wood and marble without losing the landscape

The architecture combines local stonework, rich woods and marble floors, introducing a Mediterranean character without attempting to compete with the surroundings.

Bedrooms and guest houses are distributed across several levels, and many have independent access, balconies or direct views towards the sea and pool. Some of the guest houses also include their own kitchenette.

This arrangement becomes particularly valuable in a residence capable of accommodating a large group. Guests can share generous communal spaces while still maintaining a degree of independence when they want it.

Up to 36 guests without everyone sharing the same room

Nereus can accommodate up to 36 guests. More interesting than the number itself is the way the villa manages such a large group.

Bedrooms, guest houses and communal spaces occupy different levels, while indoor and outdoor kitchens, a large dining area and multiple lounges prevent all activity from being concentrated in one place.

This makes the property suitable not only for an extended family but also for groups of friends who want to spend time together without giving up all sense of privacy.

A spa for a different pace

The lower level houses a spa of approximately 100 square metres, together with a fully equipped gym, massage area, hammam and further wellness facilities.

It provides an almost deliberate contrast with the outdoor spaces. Above are sunlight, the pool and open sea views; below, the pace becomes quieter and more private.

In a destination so strongly associated with social life, Nereus therefore leaves room for slower days without requiring guests to leave the property in search of another experience.

Arriving in Mykonos from the sea

For those who experience the Mediterranean by yacht, Mykonos naturally takes on a different perspective. The property listing places the yacht marina approximately 10 kilometres away, while Kalo Livadi opens directly onto the island’s south-eastern coast.

Nereus does not have a private yacht berth, and it would be misleading to suggest otherwise. Its relationship with yachting is instead that of a shore-based destination that can fit naturally into an itinerary through the Cyclades.

Arrive in Mykonos by sea and the villa can become a land base for a few days, without losing the connection with the Aegean that defines the voyage itself.

The freedom not to choose between home and destination

Nereus does not try to replace Mykonos. Instead, it allows the island to enter the property through the sea, stone, wind and expansive outdoor spaces.

Mykonos Town remains close enough for dinner or an evening out, the island’s beaches can become destinations during the day, and a yacht can continue its route through the Cyclades.

Yet there is also the option of going nowhere at all.

With Kalo Livadi below, a secluded beach a short walk away and the Aegean beyond the infinity pool, some days can simply begin and end in the same place. Perhaps that freedom, more than the size of the estate or the number of bedrooms, best captures the character of Nereus.
