Pick your club by the day you want
A Mykonos beach club is a beach, a restaurant and — on some days — a nightclub, all on the same sand. They differ less in quality than in mood: some are about the DJ, some about the long lunch, some about the people-watching. Choose the mood first, then the beach.
| You want… | Go to | Beach |
|---|---|---|
| A party from mid-afternoon | Paradise Beach Club, Tropicana, JackieO' Beach, Super Paradise Beach Club | Paradise, Super Paradise |
| Sunset with a DJ | Scorpios | Paraga |
| Long lunch and glamour | Nammos, SantAnna | Psarou, Paraga |
| Boho, design and a quieter crowd | Alemagou, Principote | Ftelia, Panormos |
| Easy-going and family-friendly | Pasaji, Hippie Fish, Kalua | Ornos, Agios Ioannis, Paraga |
| Dancing until sunrise | Cavo Paradiso (club, not beach) | Cliff above Paradise |

Party
Paradise and Super Paradise: the DJ beaches
Paradise is where the Mykonos beach party began, and it still runs on the same rhythm: quiet sunbeds in the morning, DJs from mid-afternoon, dancing on the sand by sunset. Paradise Beach Club and Tropicana share the bay, with bars, restaurants and VIP sections.
Next door, Super Paradise sits at the bottom of a steep road in its own cove. JackieO' Beach — the beach outpost of the famous Old Port bar — brings drag shows, champagne cocktails and a long-standing LGBTQ+ crowd; the Super Paradise Beach Club runs the other end.
- Best time: arrive by 14:00 to choose a bed; the party peaks 17:00–21:00.
- Getting there: KTEL bus from Fabrika to Paradise, or the water taxi from Ornos and Platis Gialos.
- After dark: Cavo Paradiso, on the cliff above Paradise, opens late and runs until sunrise on big nights.
JackieO' Beach
Cocktails, seafood and shows from the team behind the Old Port bar. One of the island's LGBTQ+ landmarks.
Cavo Paradiso
An open-air club on the cliff, with international DJs on big nights. Big nights are ticketed — check the programme.
Upscale
Psarou and Paraga: lunch as a performance
Nammos on Psarou is the island's most famous beach club — a restaurant with sunbeds, where superyachts anchor in the bay and lunch can stretch to sunset. Seafood and champagne are the headline; booking is essential in July and August.
On Paraga, SantAnna wraps sunbeds around a huge seawater pool, with sushi, several bars and a spa; Kalua, further along the same beach, is the calmer and better-value choice.
Scorpios, on the headland at the end of Paraga, built its name on sunset: a long lunch, then a DJ set as the sun drops into the Aegean. It is a five-minute walk along Paraga from Soho Roc House, Soho House's members' retreat on the island (Soho House, May 2026).

Booking
Sunbeds, minimum spends and booking
When to book
July–August: several days ahead for weekends and sunset beds, especially at Nammos, Scorpios and SantAnna. June and September: a day ahead, or walk in before noon.
How minimum spends work
Front-row beds often come with a minimum spend instead of a fixed price — you pay for food and drink up to that amount. One 2026 guide (greektriplanner.me) quotes €150–500+ per bed at the top names in July–August; smaller clubs start far lower. Ask for the exact figure in writing when you book.
Read the bill
Check what is included (beds, towels, water), whether service is added, and the price of bottled water and fruit platters before ordering. Pay by card and keep the receipt.
Spending less
Every beach is public. At Paraga, Psarou and Paradise you can lay a towel on the free sand, swim in the same water and walk up to the bar for one drink at sunset. Shoulder months (late May, June, late September) bring the same clubs at lower minimum spends.
Transport
Getting there and back
- South coast: KTEL buses from Fabrika to Platis Gialos, Paraga and Paradise, about €2 per ride (KTEL Mykonos, Oct 2026). Water taxis hop between Ornos, Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari and Elia from late May to mid-October.
- North coast: Alemagou and Principote need a car, taxi or the club's own shuttle — ask when you book.
- Coming home: taxis are scarce after sunset. Book a transfer in advance, or ask the club to call one before the rush.
- Never drive after drinking: Greek limits are strict and the roads are narrow, dark and full of scooters.
Common questions
Beach club questions
What is the most famous beach club in Mykonos?
Nammos on Psarou beach is the best known, for its seafood, champagne and the superyachts in the bay. Scorpios on Paraga is famous for its sunset DJ sessions. For a pure party, Paradise Beach Club and JackieO' Beach on Super Paradise are the names to know.
Do you need to book a beach club in Mykonos?
In July and August, yes — book several days ahead for Nammos, Scorpios and SantAnna, especially at weekends and for front-row or sunset beds. In June and September a day ahead is usually enough, and smaller clubs accept walk-ins before noon. Ask for the minimum spend when you book.
How do minimum spends work at Mykonos beach clubs?
Instead of a fixed sunbed price, many clubs set a minimum amount you must spend on food and drinks for that bed or table. If you spend less, you pay the difference. Figures vary by row, day and month — get the exact amount, and what it includes, in writing before you sit.
Which Mykonos beach clubs are best for sunset?
Scorpios on Paraga is built around the sunset, with a DJ as the sun drops. Hippie Fish at Agios Ioannis faces west toward Delos. For a sunset drink without a beach club, go to Little Venice or the Kato Mili windmills in Chora.
