The 10 best wedding venues in Mykonos

Mykonos weddings divide between beachfront resorts and private properties hired whole: Saint John Hotel Villas & Spa at Agios Ioannis seats up to 600, Santa Marina holds ceremonies in a stone chapel above Ornos Bay, and Grecotel Mykonos Lolita gives a hundred guests a private beach at Agios Sostis. Smaller lists tend towards buyouts — Anerousses at Houlakia, Aletro Cottage Houses above Tourlos, Villa Almi on the hillside over the new port — while beach clubs including Principote at Panormos and Alemagou at Ftelia take the informal end of the market. The one genuinely large indoor room on the island belongs to the Myconian Collection at Elia, whose Horizons Ballroom seats 270. Almost everything runs from May to October, and most of the private properties attach a two- or three-night minimum stay to the booking.

Saint John Hotel Villas & Spa

Beachfront resortAgios IoannisUp to 600 guests

Twenty thousand square metres of coastline at Agios Ioannis, about 2km from the airport, and the only property on this list that will take 600 people for both ceremony and reception. A private whitewashed chapel called Agia Fotini stands on the grounds, and 136 rooms, nine suites and three villas with their own pools sleep around 250 of the guest list without anyone leaving the site. The minimum fee starts near €2,000 with catering and drinks quoted separately — scale is what you are buying, and it is the obvious answer when the list outgrows a villa.

Myconian Collection

Hotel ballroomElia Beach270 seated in the Horizons Ballroom; 550 for cocktails

The Horizons Ballroom is the one large indoor room in this guide — semi-open and covered, acoustically treated, divisible into four sections, with sliding doors onto a balcony. It seats 270 on round tables, holds 380 to 400 in a banqueting layout and takes 550 standing for drinks, which no Mykonian terrace can match once the wind gets up. The collection's Elia hotels supply the rest of the day, a small whitewashed chapel for vows and a beach or sea-facing restaurant for the meal, and the kitchens will handle halal, kosher and Indian menus.

Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort

Beach resortOrnos Bay

Ornos Bay is the calmer, family-leaning corner of the island, and Santa Marina has been running there for forty years — long enough that a wedding is routine work rather than an improvisation. Vows take place in a traditional whitewashed stone chapel on the property, with the resort's own beach available for the reception and Buddha-Bar Beach, Elais and the Oasis pool lounge covering food and drink across the day. Guest ceilings are not published, so raise numbers in the first email if the list is a long one.

Grecotel Mykonos Lolita

Beachfront villa resortAgios Sostis, north coastUp to 100 guests

Agios Sostis has almost no roadside development, which is the whole appeal here: twenty Cycladic villas and suites, a private beach, a seawater infinity pool and a whitewashed chapel, 8km and about fifteen minutes from the airport. The property caps at 100 guests with beds for 40, and hire opens around €4,000 on a full-exclusivity basis. Should the list outgrow it, Grecotel's Mykonos Blu nearby carries the celebration to 160 and the two can be combined.

No. VAletro Cottage Houses

No. V

Aletro Cottage Houses

Cottage clusterTourlos30–120 guests

At 3.8km this is the closest venue here to the airport, and it is a cluster of bungalows on the slope above Tourlos rather than a hotel — a traditional Mykonian chapel for the ceremony, a pool area for dinner, and an outdoor bar for the back half of the night. Seventy people sleep on site with a two-night minimum, which counts for a great deal on an island where August beds are harder to secure than the venue. The event fee is comparatively light at €1,500, covering chapel, pool area, tables and chairs, with catering from about €90 a head.

Anerousses Mykonian Traditional Houses

Traditional house complexHoulakia20–100 guests

Eleven separate houses, apartments and studios make up this property at Houlakia, a quiet stretch near Agios Stefanos beach roughly 10km from the airport. Booking a wedding means taking the place privately: from about €9,000 for 100 guests you get exclusive use of the pool, terraces, parking and grounds plus a three-night stay for the 28 people the beds hold. The pool platform doubles as the ceremony spot, so the entire day happens inside one walled property with no transfers between sites.

Villa Almi

Private villaHillside above the new port40–120 guests

Originally built in 1952 and reworked in 2022, this hillside house looks over Mykonos Town, the water and Delos beyond it, about 6km from the airport. Three independent guesthouses sit alongside the main villa around a secluded pool and open-air living space, with garden hammocks and strung lights doing the decorating; only ten people sleep here, so the immediate party stays and everyone else travels in. Numbers run from 40 to 120, a two-night rental is required, and the event fee opens around €2,000 for exclusive use of the property.

Maregold Mykonos

Boutique suitesEliaUp to 40 guests

Six sea-view suites about a kilometre back from Elia beach, with a hard ceiling of 40 — this is the small-wedding option rather than a scaled-down large one. The shared pool terrace faces out towards Paros and Naxos and serves as both ceremony backdrop and dinner setting, and several suites carry private pools or jetted tubs. From roughly €5,000 the property is yours privately for two nights with beds for twelve, breakfast and housekeeping included, catering quoted on top.

Principote

Beach clubPanormos Beach

Panormos is the beach that draws the day-club crowd, and Principote runs along it — restaurant, rows of sunbeds, VIP cabanas and a small retail agora, with weddings listed as a service alongside baptisms and parties. The advantage over hiring a private house is that the venue arrives fully staffed, with kitchen, bar and sound already in place and no supplier convoy to organise. Transport to and from the beach can be arranged for guests at extra cost, which is worth taking up given the drive out from town.

Alemagou

Beach bar and restaurantFtelia Beach

An all-day bar and restaurant on the sand at Ftelia, built around a sunset lounge, cabanas and beach beds rather than a function room, which sets the register for any wedding held here — barefoot, late, and unmistakably a beach party. Private set-ups for one-off celebrations are part of what the venue does, so the layout is rearranged around the event rather than the event squeezed into the layout. No capacity figures are published, so treat the first enquiry as a conversation rather than a request for a package.

Planning a wedding in Mykonos

A civil ceremony is licensed by the Municipality of Mykonos, and every foreign document — birth certificate, certificate of no impediment, any divorce decree — needs an apostille and a certified Greek translation, which is why planners open the file months before the date. The island is named for its wind: the meltemi blows hardest through July and August, and the exposed north-coast sites take the worst of it, so tall florals, loose draping and an outdoor ceremony all have to survive a stiff breeze. Scale is the other pressure — roughly 1.5 million visitors a year arrive on 85.5 square kilometres with a resident population near 10,700, so flights, beds and coach transfers for a full guest list need locking down earlier than the venue itself.

When to marry — May, June, September and early October give long warm evenings without the July–August combination of peak rates and the strongest meltemi.
What it costs — Venue hire alone commonly lands between about €1,500 and €9,000 — Aletro from €1,500, Saint John and Villa Almi from €2,000, Grecotel Mykonos Lolita from €4,000, Maregold from €5,000, Anerousses from €9,000 for 100 guests — with catering charged separately from roughly €90 a head, and the five-star resorts quoting on application well above that band.

Once the venue is settled, the next thing most couples deal with is telling everyone. A digital wedding invitation carries the address, a map, your timings and a live RSVP on one link — which matters more than usual when guests are travelling to Mykonos and need directions, and plenty of notice.

Questions

Marrying in Mykonos: your questions.

Can we legally marry on Mykonos if neither of us lives in Greece?

Yes. Greece sets no residency requirement for a civil marriage, so a ceremony held on Mykonos is legally binding and there is no need to marry at a registry office at home first — which is a real difference from destinations such as Spain. The licence comes from the Municipality of Mykonos, and each foreign document (birth certificate, certificate of no impediment, and a divorce decree if either of you has been married before) needs an apostille and a certified Greek translation before it will be accepted. Requirements and processing times are administered locally and do change, so confirm the current list with the municipality or your planner and allow several months. Couples who would rather avoid the paperwork entirely hold a symbolic ceremony on the island and complete the legal marriage at home; every venue here is used to both routes.

What does a Mykonos wedding venue actually cost?

Published starting figures give a fair picture of the spread: Aletro Cottage Houses from €1,500 for the event fee, Saint John and Villa Almi from €2,000, Grecotel Mykonos Lolita from €4,000, Maregold from €5,000 for a two-night private hire, and Anerousses from €9,000 for 100 guests with a three-night stay folded in. Read each quote closely, because some of those numbers are the space alone while others include accommodation — catering is almost always separate and starts somewhere around €90 a head before drinks. The five-star resorts, Santa Marina and the Myconian Collection among them, quote on application and sit well above that range.

When is the best time of year to get married on Mykonos?

May, June, September and early October. Those months hold warm evenings for an outdoor dinner without the July–August pairing of peak-season rates and the meltemi at its strongest — Mykonos is nicknamed the island of the winds for good reason, and a north-facing beach in August can be hard work for tall florals, draping and anything lightweight. Summer highs average around 27°C, so shade for the ceremony matters more than heating ever will. The season effectively closes outside May to October, since these venues are built around outdoor space.

How far ahead should we book, and how many guests will fit?

A peak-season Saturday usually needs securing a year or more ahead, and on Mykonos it is normally the beds that bind rather than the venue — summer accommodation on an island of 85.5 square kilometres taking around 1.5 million visitors a year sells out long before the wedding season starts. Capacity varies widely: Maregold stops at 40, Grecotel Mykonos Lolita and Anerousses at 100, Aletro and Villa Almi at 120, while the Myconian Collection's Horizons Ballroom seats 270 or holds 550 for a cocktail reception and Saint John reaches 600. Build in the minimum stays attached to the private properties too — two nights at Aletro, Villa Almi and Maregold, three at Anerousses — because they change the real cost of the booking.
