It takes a certain amount of confidence to call a property “Elysium”, the mythological Greek idea of an immortal paradise. One step inside this vast mansion on the island of Mykonos and there is no doubt that such confidence – and such a title – is guaranteed. This spacious mansion covers 700 square meters (7500 square feet) on a 4000 square meter (43,000 square feet) property and includes nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms. In addition to unparalleled views of the crystal blue ocean, Elysium has two private swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and an iPad-powered home control system.
This hilltop retreat has the unique advantage of allowing its occupant to see their yacht docked below.
Day or night a vast endless swimming pool offers the perfect relaxing oasis.
The design of the home was inspired by Ancient Greek Cycladic architecture, evidenced in the materials chosen for the stunning exterior.
The indoor and outdoor spaces are fully integrated.
While most of the furniture consists of bright white, a unique accent chair provides contrast.
A beautiful home looks great from any angle, even from above – which is exactly the view one would have when landing on the helipad of the home.
The temperate climate means that outdoor eating and relaxation are possible for much of the year.
Simple stone steps lead visitors elegantly from one area of the vast terrace to another.
Being outdoors doesn’t have to mean being baked by the sun with a simple, modern outdoor shade.
A sunset meal or cocktail is much more enjoyable without the need to shield the eyes from the harsh rays reflecting from the water.
White and unadorned wood are the natural choices for much of the decor in this home.
White and wood also work well with the stone design of the outside of the home, which we will also see to carry inside.
A large pool means that each dive feels private, no matter who else is swimming.
Sunbathing with ultimate privacy and a view of the sea is certainly a luxurious choice.
White stone slabs in the pool offer an alternative to the pools.
A large white sofa and complementary chairs are a natural place to soak up the sun.
The luxurious living room of the home opens directly onto the terrace for a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor.
Leather is another natural choice for this type of design, with leather chairs making it a hot choice for indoor dining.
And a luxurious kitchen is essential for all the entertainment that would be required of such accommodation.
As alluded to above, the stone exterior does not stop outside and instead leads to the interior of the house.
The rough stones contrast with the smooth white walls in the living rooms and guest rooms.
An impressive master suite looks straight out onto the terrace.
But smaller guest rooms, like this one with a padded bed, have their own stunning views.
After sunset, some relaxation with a flat screen supported on a modern TV stand may be in order.
Walking straight to soak at noon or midnight is just one advantage of staying at this luxurious estate.
Each guest room has a private bathroom, this one with green tinted glass panels for privacy.
Simple, clean lines are a modern choice.
Stone-lined corridors include open-air skylights above.
Light from above and below gives passages an ethereal feel.
Every good host will have easy access to a wine cellar and bar for her guests.
Deeper lighting of the stairs will ensure no wrong steps after tasting a glass or two.
Although lined with stone walls, there is a certain warmth in the design of the halls.
At the right time of evening, the sky seems to melt into the pond below.
Each private door to the terrace offers enough space for a feeling of solitude, even among other guests.
In a green outdoor dining room, modern outdoor chairs provide a perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee.
And what better way to end a stay than to soak in a Jacuzzi with an amazing view?
