Villa Musa

Villa Musa is a large private compound in Kanalia, on Mykonos, built for groups who want to holiday together without living on top of one another.

Eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms are spread across two twin houses and two guest houses, sleeping up to 15 guests, so it works equally well for several families or a big group of friends.

The palette is calm and natural, with beige, warm brown and off-white set against plenty of greenery. The two main houses share almost the same layout.

Each entrance level has a spacious living room, a modern fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for six, a lounge corner, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a guest toilet.

Upstairs, the left-hand house has an en-suite double and an en-suite single, each opening onto a balcony with lounge seating and wide sea views; in the right-hand house a double and a single share a bathroom and a balcony with its own lounge area and views.

Every room across the property is air-conditioned and has a safe.

The two guest houses suit couples looking for extra privacy. Each has a small living room, a kitchenette, a breakfast bar and a double bedroom; in one the bathroom is separate, in the other it is en suite.

Outside, covered seating and dining areas sit alongside a barbecue area and a private pool, with sun loungers and a hammock for long afternoons. A fireplace, sound system, Wi-Fi, laundry service and free parking complete this villa for large groups on Mykonos.

When you want a taste of the island's livelier side, Ornos bay and Mykonos Town are a short drive away.
