Below we’ve rounded up 7 of our favourite wedding venues in Mykonos right now, with all of them benefiting from stunning sea views.
1. Principote
Situated in the heart of Panormos beach on the northern side of the Greek island, Principote is the ultimate in cool; striking the perfect balance between elegant style with just the right hint of boho. Couples tend to start with a wedding ceremony at the local Agios Sostis Church before enjoying a lovely wedding reception at the venue, with spectacular panoramic views of the bay. In terms of numbers, they can host a minimum of 110 guests and a maximum of 450 guests with an on hand wedding coordination team to help you plan the full day.
2. Kalua
Having entertained many a guest for the past 15 years at Paraga Beach, Kalua has recently undergone a revamp and it is everything you’d hope for from a relaxed vibey beach wedding location. You’re able to host your ceremony on the beach there, followed by a reception in their restaurant’s indoor area which opens out onto the beach. As a very popular wedding and event destination, they require a minimum guest number during their high season, but this shouldn’t be too much of a problem during their low season. Their team will work with you to create a delicious custom menu for your guests, with the restaurant known for their savoury Greek and Mediterranean dishes, sushi and desserts.
3. Nammos
As a world renowned beach club, the elegant Nammos has always been a place to see and be seen in Mykonos. Located on Psarou Beach, a bay that is well protected from the northern Aegean winds, the venue nails mediterranean chic and luxury on the shoreline. The couple and their guests can arrive by boat or yacht if they wish, party on the beach, dine on customised wedding menus, sip from ever-flowing champagne towers and enjoy the wonderful surroundings.
4. Alemagou
Located on Tarsanas Beach, one of Mykonos’ northern beaches that is known for being more relaxed, chilled and private, Alemagou is a beautiful rustic wedding venue that feels wonderfully serene and cosy. A mix of boho and Mexican vibes, expect a wedding menu consisting of authentic Greek flavours with a contemporary twist, made with the freshest of ingredients.
5. Hippie Fish
The ultimate in ‘barefoot luxury’, Hippie Fish has ample spaces to host your wedding within in their hotel. With several dining areas, outdoor decks overlooking the Aegean Sea and beachy areas, you can host both your ceremony and reception there for up to 500 guests.
