Private beach, Buddha Bar Beach Mykonos, the Ornos-Bay bachelorette HQ.
"Private beach, Buddha Bar Beach Mykonos, the Ornos-Bay bachelorette HQ."
Santa Marina sits on a 25-acre peninsula on Ornos Bay, one of the only Mykonos hotels with its own private beach, reachable only through the property. 105 rooms and suites and 12 villas across the peninsula, the upper-tier villas, which run from two to seven bedrooms, are the natural base for an eight-to-twelve-woman party. The asset is the private 150-metre beach (a genuine rarity on Mykonos), the Buddha Bar Beach Mykonos restaurant on the beach (the brand's Mykonos outpost, with the same Asian-fusion-and-DJ format), and the Ornos Bay geographic position (the calmer side of the island, 10 minutes south of Mykonos Town). Santa Marina joined Marriott's Luxury Collection in 2018. Santa Marina is the pick when the private beach and the in-house Buddha-Bar Beach are the whole point: a multi-bedroom villa, a private-beach lunch, a Buddha-Bar dinner, and a 10-minute taxi into Mykonos Town for the late night.
A four-bedroom villa for the eight-friend party, or a three-bedroom villa for a smaller group.
Book a four-bedroom villa for the eight-friend party: the private pool, the space, and the chef-on-call are what you are paying for. Hit Buddha-Bar Beach on Saturday at 2pm for the pool-and-lunch session; the Asian-fusion menu is the strongest in Ornos Bay.
Santa Marina, A Luxury Collection Resort sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Mykonos for a Bachelorette list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a bachelorette-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Mykonos neighbourhood, see Ornos Bay and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
With dates settled, the booking window that works is about twelve weeks ahead. Suites with the prime view angle sell through first; for peak months, availability is measured in months rather than weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
